[Samba] Please share your mail setup with me if you are running samba4
Hi Guys, I had no luck so far getting openchange installed onto samba 4.1.4 and wondered if I am on the right track here regarding emails for users. I will appriciate it if anyone can share their setups with me so I can estimate what will be the best way forward. The plan so far. Run Samba4 as a file server. (this is working in a test enviroment) Run Samba4 as a DC with Active Directory (this is working in a test enviroment) Run (OpenChange) as an alternative for Microsoft Exchange (this is so far not working out for us as we cannot get openchanged installed on an already working samba4 setup) So here is the question. Do we just use a linux IMAP server instead? In our company we use POP accounts on our email clients and would like to use IMAP to help users who travel to pickup mail. This was the main reason why we wanter to use SOGO and OPENCHANGE. Can we connect the IMAP users to Samba4 or do we need to create a linux user for IMAP? Just thinking here if the users change their passwords with samba4 if that password will carry on into the IMAP config and change the email passwords or will we need to manually change the email passwords if the two cannot be linked together. Please share your setup with me if you do not mind. You don't need to provide detailed config's etc just a general overview of what you have in place at the moment that works for you.

[Samba] Please share your mail setup with me if you are running samba4
I suggest using Zimbra Community Edition if you want,
SOGo connector works for contacts (and maybe calendar too. didn't test
myself)
I use ZCS 8.0.6 and sucessfully set LDAP auth over Samba 4.1.4, and set
up autoprovision too
I paste here my notes on Auto provision of email accounts from domain
users (tested on a 100-200 user AD samba 4 setup)
there's a bug workaround for provision.. maybe will be fixed in later
ZCS release. Maybe an isse just for large domains.

This was the main reason why we > wanter to use SOGO and OPENCHANGE.We are running SOGo now, with (currently still) samba3/openldap, but we'll soon migrate to samba4 with it's native ldap. In our testing environment, this is working very well. We're running dovecot imap server, very 'standard', and lot's of knowledge to be found everywhere, including kind and helpful support on the mailinglist.> Can we connect the IMAP users to Samba4 or do we need to create a > linux user for IMAP? Just thinking here if the users change theirWe are running samba4 with posix attributes, however I guess you don't need those for imap/dovecot. Regards, MJ

[Samba] Please share your mail setup with me if you are running samba4
I built a samba4/qmail-ldap/dovecot/davical/other setup that has all the basic features of an exchange server, with more besides. it has been in production for over 1 year and proved stable and reliable. I documented the sandbox environment here: http://cocnm.computerisms.ca/index.php/Main_Page -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca On Fri, 2014-02-21 at 11:10 +0200, Raymond wrote:> > Hi Guys, I had no luck so far getting openchange installed onto samba 4.1.4 > and wondered if I am on the right track here regarding emails for users.
