SOGo

Installation

Considerations

SOGo can use many different sources for user authentication including, but not limited to, Active Directory, OpenLDAP, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and probably many others if you include PAM. This article will focus on using a centrally managed user database for both authentication, and to provide a global address list.

Additionally, either or postgresql must be used to store the users' calendars and address books. As of this writing, the SOGo documentation has a clear preference for MariaDB (or MySQL), but if you have an existing PostgreSQL installation, it might make sense to use it. Other SQL implementations might also be supported, but are not currently covered.

Finally, there are currently two versions of SOGo that are being actively maintained. SOGo-2.x is uses a look and feel that is similar to a desktop client, while SOGo-3.x uses a more modern interface, taking cues from Google using AngularJS. Instructions and configuration are interchangeable between the two versions.

Prerequisites

Install or sogo2^AUR.

For a local database install MySQL or PostgreSQL.
For a local mail server install Dovecot and Postfix.
For a local web server install Apache HTTP Server or nginx.

Initial web server configuration

Apache

Install and configure following instructions at Apache HTTP Server and configure for TLS connections. Add SOGo to the Apache configuration appending the following lines at the end of the file or VirtualHost entry:

... # Include SOGo configuration include conf/extra/SOGo.conf

If not done already, uncomment mod_xml2enc and the needed proxy modules mod_proxy{,_http,_html} in the :

# cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf{,.bak} # sed /mod_xml2enc\.so/s/#// -i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # sed /mod_proxy\.so/s/#// -i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # sed /mod_proxy_http\.so/s/#// -i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # sed /mod_proxy_html\.so/s/#// -i /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Edit the file and modify the following lines (replace mail.domain.tld with the appropriate hostname for you desired configuration):

... ## adjust the following to your configuration RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-port" "443" RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-name" "mail.domain.tld" RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-url" "https://mail.domain.tld" ...

nginx

If using nginx for the web server, you will only configure on 443, SSL certificates must be in place prior to configuration. Add the following to :

server { listen 443; root /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/; server_name mail.domain.tld server_tokens off; client_max_body_size 100M; index index.php index.html index.htm; autoindex off; ssl on; ssl_certificate path /path/to/your/certfile; #eg. /etc/ssl/certs/keyfile.crt ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/keyfile; #eg /etc/ssl/private/keyfile.key ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; #optional ssl_stapling on; #optional ssl_stapling_verify on; #optional ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/ssl/private/cacert-stapeling.pem; #optional resolver 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 valid=300s; #optionalresolver_timeout 10s; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; #optional ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem; #optional add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=63072000; #optional add_header X-Frame-Options DENY; #optional add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff; location = / { rewrite ^ https://$server_name/SOGo; allow all; } location = /principals/ { rewrite ^ https://$server_name/SOGo/dav; allow all; } location ^~/SOGo { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:20000; proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:20000 default; # forward user's IP address proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header x-webobjects-server-protocol HTTP/1.0; proxy_set_header x-webobjects-remote-host 127.0.0.1; proxy_set_header x-webobjects-server-name $server_name; proxy_set_header x-webobjects-server-url $scheme://$host; proxy_connect_timeout 90; proxy_send_timeout 90; proxy_read_timeout 90; proxy_buffer_size 4k; proxy_buffers 4 32k; proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k; proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k; client_max_body_size 50m; client_body_buffer_size 128k; break; } location /SOGo.woa/WebServerResources/ { alias /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/; allow all; } location /SOGo/WebServerResources/ { alias /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/WebServerResources/; allow all; } location ^/SOGo/so/ControlPanel/Products/([^/]*)/Resources/(.*)$ { alias /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/$1.SOGo/Resources/$2; } location ^/SOGo/so/ControlPanel/Products/[^/]*UI/Resources/.*\.(jpg|png|gif|css|js)$ { alias /usr/lib/GNUstep/SOGo/$1.SOGo/Resources/$2; } }

Start and test web access

Create the state directory and start services:

# mkdir /var/run/sogo # chown sogo:sogo /var/run/sogo # chown sogo:sogo /etc/sogo/sogo.conf # chmod 0644 /etc/sogo/sogo.conf

Then enable and start the and either or services.

Open a browser and go to http://mail.domain.tld/SOGo/ for Apache, or https://mail.domain.tld/SOGo/ for nginx. Do not try to login just yet, just verify that you can connect and get the login screen as authentication sources have not been setup yet.

SOGo database configuration

MySQL/MariaDB

If you have not already done so, create the first MySQL/MariaDB database with the following command:

# mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/ --ldata=/var/lib/mysql/

Enable and start , then enter the MySQL shell as the root user:

# mysql -u root

At the mysql prompt, enter the following commands (replace SogoPW with a secure password):

CREATE DATABASE sogo; CREATE USER 'sogo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SogoPW'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `sogo`.* TO 'sogo'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Migrating from a previous PostgreSQL configuration

If you had previously used PostgreSQL, you can migrate user data to MySQL/MariaDB using sogo-tool to backup and restore. Details are obviously site specific, but this example should work for most. Backup the full sogo-database with the following commands:

# mkdir /root/sogo-backup # sogo-tool backup /root/sogo-backup ALL

Now stop the sogo daemon, stop postgresql (if not used for other purposes), and reconfigure sogo (/etc/sogo/sogo.conf) using both the sogo user and sogo database keeping the last path element (see example below).

To restore all user data, run the following commands:

# for user in `ls -d /root/sogo-backup/*` do sogo-tool restore -f ALL /root/sogo-backup $(basename $user) done

Simply restart sogo to continue using the MySQL/MariaDB.

PostgreSQL

If you have elected to use PostgreSQL over MySQL/MariaDB, the old instructions have been left for convenience. If this is a new installation, it is recommended that you use only MySQL/MariaDB for sogo/openchange data.

Initialize the default database and start PostgreSQL (be sure to replace en_US.UTF-8 with the correct locale for your installation):

# mkdir -p /var/lib/postgres/data # chown -R postgres:postgres /var/lib/postgres # su - postgres -c "initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'"

Then start and enable service.

Create the sogo user and the sogo DB for PostgreSQL (do not select a strong password for the sogo user, just use "sogo" for simplicity. This is temporary and will be changed later):

# su - postgres $ createuser --no-superuser --no-createdb --no-createrole --encrypted --pwprompt sogo $ createdb -O sogo sogo

Edit the access configuration for the openchange DB:

# cp /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf{,.bak} # sed \ 's/D$/D\n\n#Configuration for OpenChange/' \ -i /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf # sed \ 's/ange$/ange\nhost\topenchange\topenchange\t127.0.0.1\/32\t\tmd5/' \ -i /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf # chown postgres:postgres /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf{,.bak}

Restart the service.

Configuring user databases

Active Directory

If using Active Directory for user authentication, whether using Samba (following the Samba/Active Directory domain controller article) or using a Microsoft server, the needed attributes for mail users are already present in the default schema. Users, however, need to have both mail and proxyAddresses attributes set. The proxyAddress attribute labeled SMTP (as opposed to smtp) is the default mail address. If using internal and external domains, you will need to set SMTP to the user's external address as this will be the SMTP from address and envelope sender in outgoing messages. Additionally, the mail attribute must also be set to the user's external email address.

For Samba, you can use the ldbedit command to edit users. In this example, we will modify the "Administrator" user and add aliases for postmaster, as well as internal and external email addresses. Replace vim in the following command with your preferred editor:

# LDB_MODULES_PATH="/usr/lib/samba/ldb" ldbedit -e vim -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb '(samaccountname=administrator)'

It is important to change both the mail attribute (this is what will be used for group expansion and global address list functionality), and the primary SMTP address. The smtp entries for proxyAddresses act as aliases. Add the following attributes (again, substitute appropriate values for internal.domain.tld and domain.tld):

...
mail: administrator@'''domain'''.'''tld'''
proxyAddresses: SMTP:administrator@'''domain'''.'''tld'''
proxyAddresses: smtp:postmaster@'''internal'''.'''domain'''.'''tld'''
proxyAddresses: smtp:postmaster@'''domain'''.'''tld'''
proxyAddresses: smtp:administrator@'''internal'''.'''domain'''.'''tld'''
...

If using Microsoft's Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in to edit users, you will need to enable "Show Advanced Features" from the Tools menu, and use the Attribute Editor tab.

Next, allow daemons to lookup users in the directory using LDAP. To do this, create an unprivileged user to use for LDAP lookups and optionally (recommended), set the password not to expire. If using Samba, execute the following commands. Be certain to set a suitably strong password:

# samba-tool user create ldap --description="Unprivileged user for LDAP lookups" # samba-tool user setexpiry ldap --noexpiry

Finally, with Samba after 4.3.8 or 4.2.2, non-encrypted communication is disabled by default. Add the following configuration item to the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf if you are not in a position to enable TLS or StartTLS:

MySQL/MariaDB

The following procedure is valid for mariadb 10.1.25-1 but should also work for MySQL.

Ensure the sogo user is created in the database (see #MySQL/MariaDB).
Ensure that there is a database named sogo with the database scheme utf8 (and not utf8mb4). This is necessary because the automatic creation of the sogo_sessions_folder table will fail otherwise:

SQL: SELECT count(*) FROM sogo_sessions_folder; ERROR: Table 'sogo.sogo_sessions_folder' doesn't exist SQL: CREATE TABLE sogo_sessions_folder ( c_id VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY, c_value VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, c_creationdate INT NOT NULL, c_lastseen INT NOT NULL); ERROR: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes <-- This happens because VARCHAR(255) is too big as primary key for utf8mb4

Scheme can be altered via

ALTER SCHEMA `sogo` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

Update: There seems to be a way around this and utf8mb4 could be used. Check page 33 ff of SOGo installation guide pdf.

The sogo_users table has to be created manually:

Change user and create table with comments, explaining what each column is (see https://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#Authentication-using-SQL)

USE sogo; CREATE TABLE `sogo`.`sogo_users` ( `c_uid` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL COMMENT 'c_uid: will be used for authentication - it’s a username or username@domain.tld', `c_name` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL COMMENT 'c_name: will be used to uniquely identify entries - which can be identical to c_uid', `c_password` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL COMMENT 'c_password: password of the user, plain text, crypt, md5 or sha encoded', `c_cn` VARCHAR(128) NULL COMMENT 'c_cn: the user’s common name', `mail` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL COMMENT 'mail: the user’s email address', PRIMARY KEY (`c_uid`));

Create a user

Generate the MD5 sum of the password (MD5 is still safe for password checking as of August 2017. On top of that, webaccess should be done via SSL anyways).

echo -n 'mypassword' | md5sum 34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44 -

Create the entry for this user

INSERT INTO `sogo`.`sogo_users` (`c_uid`, `c_name`, `c_password`, `c_cn`, `mail`) VALUES ('username', 'username', '34819d7beeabb9260a5c854bc85b3e44', 'Archie Username', 'archie@example.com');

Dovecot configuration

Basic configuration

Create a very basic dovecot configuration layout:

# install -vdm755 /etc/dovecot/conf.d # cp /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/ # cp -r /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d /etc/dovecot/conf.d.dist

Remove the submission protocol from the file (this will be handled by postfix). Additionally, remove pop3 if you do not wish to provide POP3 support:

... protocols = imap lmtp ...

Then create the file with this content:

auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no auth_username_format = %n mail_location = /home/vmail/%Lu/Maildir

Enable and start .

User sources

Active Directory

Add the LDAP lookup configuation :

passdb ldap { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf } userdb ldap { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf }

Set permissions:

# chmod 0644 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap.conf # chown root:root /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap.conf

Create the LDAP user and password configuration files (replace dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld, INTERNAL, and ldapPW with appropriate values). Remove the tls lines below if you have not enabled the TLS configuration in your directory:

hosts = localhost auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = INTERNAL\%u ldap_version = 3 tls = yes base = dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld scope = subtree deref = never pass_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%u)(mail=*)) hosts = localhost dn = cn=ldap,cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld dnpass = ldapPW ldap_version = 3 tls = yes base = cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld user_attrs = =uid=5000,=gid=5000,=home=/home/vmail/%Lu,=mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%Lu/Maildir/ user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%u)(mail=*)) # Attributes and filter to get a list of all users iterate_attrs = sAMAccountName=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=person)

Set permissions:

# chown root:root /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-{pass,user}db.conf # chmod 0600 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf # chmod 0644 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf

Create the SASL configuation :

service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } }

Set permissions:

# chmod 0644 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/sasl.conf # chown root:root /etc/dovecot/conf.d/sasl.conf

Reload Dovecot for the configuration to take effect:

# dovecot reload

Testing Dovecot authentication

Create the vmail user and group:

# groupadd -g 5000 vmail # useradd -u 5000 -g vmail -s /usr/bin/nologin -d /home/vmail -m vmail # chmod 750 /home/vmail

Open a telnet session and test (commands you enter are in bold, replace Administrator with a valid user account and UserPass with your real password):

telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. a LOGIN Administrator UserPass .

OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host.

If anything other than OK is returned, go back and double check the configuration before continuing.

LMTP configuration

Create the LMTP configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/lmtp.conf:

mail_location = /home/vmail/%Lu/Maildir service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } user = vmail } protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster@domain.tld } # chmod 0644 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/lmtp.conf # dovecot reload

TLS configuration

Put your certificates into place and create the TLS configuration file (adjust paths and names as necessary). The keyfile should be owned by root with 0600 permissions. Any intermediate certificates should be concatenated after the public cert:

ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/host.domain.tld.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/host.domain.tld.key # chmod 644 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/tls.conf # chmod 600 /etc/dovecot/ssl/host.domain.tld.key

Add the imaps protocol to the file:

... protocols = imap imaps lmtp ...

Remove the earlier explicitly defined values from local.conf and reload Dovecot:

# sed -e '/^ssl/d' -e '/disable_plaintext/s/no/yes/' \ -i /etc/dovecot/conf.d/local.conf # dovecot reload

Sieve configuration

If you wish to support sieve configurations, install and edit . Uncomment the protocols line and add sieve as a service. Remove submission (this will be handled by Postfix or Exim) and pop3 (if you do not intend to provide pop access):

... protocols = imap imaps lmtp sieve ...

Append the following to :

... plugin { sieve_before = /home/vmail/sieve/spam-global.sieve sieve=/home/vmail/%Lu/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=/home/vmail/%Lu/sieve }

Create the global sieve directory:

mkdir -p /home/vmail/sieve/

Create the file with the following contents:

require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; }

Set permissions on the directory (and file):

chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail/sieve

Modify the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/lmtp.conf file, adding the bold text below:

mail_location = /home/vmail/%Lu/Maildir service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } user = vmail } protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster@domain.tld mail_plugins = sieve } plugin { sieve_before = /home/vmail/sieve/spam-global.sieve sieve = /home/vmail/%Lu/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/%Lu/sieve }

Reload dovecot

Postfix configuration

Basic configuration

Create a minimal Postfix configuration. Replace server.internal.domain.tld with a valid internal FQDN):

# postconf -e myhostname=server.internal.domain.tld # postconf -e mydestination=localhost

If this server will be accessible from the internet, set the HELO/EHLO values to match the FQDN as seen from the internet (replace mail.domain.tld):

# postconf -e smtp_helo_name=mail.domain.tld # postconf -e smtpd_banner='$smtp_helo_name ESMTP $mail_name'

Enable and start .

Configure Postfix to use the vmail user and group:

# postconf -e virtual_minimum_uid=5000 # postconf -e virtual_uid_maps=static:5000 # postconf -e virtual_gid_maps=static:5000 # postconf -e virtual_mailbox_base=/home/vmail # postfix reload

User sources

Active Directory

Install and create a LDAP alias and group maps for Postfix by pasting the following lines in the file as root (replace dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld with appropriate values and ldapPW with the password of the ldap user). If TLS has not been configured for your directory, remove the start_tls line:

# Directory settings server_host = 127.0.0.1 search_base = dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld scope = sub version = 3 start_tls = yes # User Binding bind = yes bind_dn = cn=ldap,cn=users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld bind_pw = ldapPW # Filter query_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(proxyAddresses=smtp:%s)) result_attribute = samaccountname result_format = %s@internal.domain.tld

Create the group map:

# sed -e '/^query/d' \ -e '/^result/d' \ /etc/postfix/ldap-alias.cf > /etc/postfix/ldap-group.cf

Append the following lines to the newly created (in the #Filter secton):

query_filter = (&(objectclass=group)(mail=%s)) special_result_attribute = member leaf_result_attribute = mail

Set the permissions:

# chmod 0600 /etc/postfix/ldap-{alias,group}.cf

Next test our lookup maps for users (groups have not yet been created) (substitute internal.domain.tld):

# postmap -q administrator@domain.tld ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-alias.cf # postmap -q administrator@internal.domain.tld ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-alias.cf

The following output should be displayed for both commands:

Administrator@internal.domain.tld

Append any other hosted domains to the first command below, add the maps, and then reload the Postfix configuration (again replacing domain values):

# postconf -e virtual_mailbox_domains="domain.tld, internal.domain.tld" # postconf -e virtual_alias_maps="ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-alias.cf, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-group.cf" # postfix reload

SASL configuration

Modify the default smtpd instance:

# postconf -e smtpd_sasl_type=dovecot # postconf -e smtpd_sasl_path=private/auth # postconf -e smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes # postconf -e smtpd_relay_restrictions="permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination"

LMTP configuration

Use dovecot LMTP for delivery:

# postconf -e virtual_transport=lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

TLS configuration

If you intend to use STARTTLS (as you should), enable the mail submission port and restrict to authenticated clients. Edit the following lines in :

submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o syslog_name=postfix/submission -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_sasl_type=dovecot -o smtpd_sasl_path=private/auth -o smtpd_sasl_security_options=noanonymous -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o smtpd_sender_login_maps=ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-sender.cf -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=reject_sender_login_mismatch -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=reject_non_fqdn_recipient,reject_unknown_recipient_domain,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject

Add SSL certificates. If you intend to put Postfix in a chroot jail (not discussed in this guide), these need to be placed in the Postfix configuration directory as opposed to the default /etc/ssl/private directory. Additionally, any intermediate certs should be concatenated with the public cert being first in the chain, and the key file should be owned by root with 0400 permission mode (replace mail.domain.tld):

# postconf -e smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/postfix/ssl/mail.domain.tld.key # postconf -e smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/postfix/ssl/mail.domain.tld.pem

Create a map to verify addresses to authenticated users . If TLS has not been configured for your directory, remove the start_tls line:

# Directory settings server_host = localhost search_base = dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld version = 3 scope = sub start_tls = yes # User Binding bind = yes bind_dn = cn=ldap,cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld bind_pw = ldapPW # Filter query_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(proxyAddresses=smtp:%s)) leaf_result_attribute = proxyAddresses result_attribute = sAMAccountName

Set permissions:

# chown root:root /etc/postfix/ldap-sender.cf # chmod 0640 /etc/postfix/ldap-sender.cf

If you would like to enable TLS on the default SMTP port, you should make it optional. If you make it required, you will not be able to receive mail from many hosts on the internet.

# postconf -e smtpd_tls_security_level=may

Reload postfix to apply the configuration changes:

# postfix reload

Testing the Postfix SASL configuration

Begin by getting a base64 encoded version of the username and password (replace Administrator with a valid username and UserPass with your real password):

$ echo -ne '\000Administrator\000UserPass' | openssl base64

You should receive output similar to the following:

AEFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IAVXNlclBhc3M=

Now, open a telnet session and test (commands you enter are in bold, replace host.domain.tld with the real external FQDN and AEFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IAVXNlclBhc3M= with the result of the previous command):

$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 host.domain.tld ESMTP Postfix ehlo host.domain.tld 250-mail.lucasit.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN AUTH PLAIN AEFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IAVXNlclBhc3M= 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host.

If anything other than a 235 message is returned, something is wrong and you should troubleshoot now rather than later.

SOGo configuration

Basic configuration

Edit the SOGo http configuration file, , and comment out the following lines for testing (until SSL certs are in place and configuration is complete):

## adjust the following to your configuration
#  RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-port" "443"
#  RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-name" "yourhostname"
#  RequestHeader set "x-webobjects-server-url" "https://yourhostname"

Create a suitable SOGo configuration file in (replace items in bold with appropriate values). If using PostgreSQL, replace the "mysql:" lines with the appropriate "postgresql:" lines (as above):

{ /* Database Configuration */ SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://sogo:SogoPW@localhost/sogo/sogo_user_profile"; OCSFolderInfoURL = "mysql://sogo:SogoPW@localhost/sogo/sogo_folder_info"; OCSSessionsFolderURL = "mysql://sogo:SogoPW@localhost/sogo/sogo_sessions_folder"; /* Mail */ SOGoDraftsFolderName = Drafts; SOGoSentFolderName = Sent; SOGoTrashFolderName = Trash; SOGoJunkFolderName = Junk; SOGoIMAPServer = localhost; SOGoSieveServer = sieve://127.0.0.1:4190; SOGoSMTPServer = 127.0.0.1; SOGoMailDomain = internal.domain.tld; SOGoMailingMechanism = smtp; SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail = NO; SOGoMailSpoolPath = /var/spool/sogo; NGImap4ConnectionStringSeparator = "/"; /* Notifications */ SOGoAppointmentSendEMailNotifications = YES; SOGoACLsSendEMailNotifications = NO; SOGoFoldersSendEMailNotifications = NO; /* Authentication */ SOGoPasswordChangeEnabled = YES; /* Web Interface */ SOGoPageTitle = SOGo; SOGoVacationEnabled = YES; SOGoForwardEnabled = YES; SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES; SOGoMailAuxiliaryUserAccountsEnabled = YES; SOGoTrustProxyAuthentication = NO; SOGoXSRFValidationEnabled = NO; /* General */ SOGoLanguage = English; SOGoTimeZone = America/Chicago; SOGoCalendarDefaultRoles = ( PublicDAndTViewer, ConfidentialDAndTViewer ); SOGoSuperUsernames = (administrator); SxVMemLimit = 384; //WOPidFile = "/var/run/sogo/sogo.pid"; SOGoMemcachedHost = "127.0.0.1"; /* Debug */ //SOGoDebugRequests = YES; //SoDebugBaseURL = YES; //ImapDebugEnabled = YES; //LDAPDebugEnabled = YES; //PGDebugEnabled = YES; //MySQL4DebugEnabled = YES; //SOGoUIxDebugEnabled = YES; //WODontZipResponse = YES; //WOLogFile = /var/log/sogo/sogo.log; }

Then issue the following commands:

# chown sogo:sogo /etc/sogo/sogo.conf # chmod 0600 /etc/sogo/sogo.conf # mkdir /var/spool/sogo # chown sogo:sogo /var/spool/sogo # chmod 700 /var/spool/sogo

Modify the file and add the LDAP user sources (and global address list). Place the following contents before the Web Interface section. If TLS is not configured for your Directory, exclude the "/????!StartTLS" strings at the end of the LDAP URIs:

/* User Authentication */ SOGoUserSources = ( { id = directory; displayName = "Active Directory"; canAuthenticate = YES; type = ldap; CNFieldName = cn; IDFieldName = sAMAccountName; UIDFieldName = sAMAccountName; baseDN = "dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindDN = "cn=ldap,cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindFields = (sAMAccountName); bindPassword = "ldapPW"; hostname = ldap://server.internal.domain.tld:389/????!StartTLS; }, { id = sambaShared; displayName = "Shared Addressbook"; canAuthenticate = NO; isAddressBook = YES; type = ldap; CNFieldName = cn; IDFieldName = mail; UIDFieldName = mail; hostname = ldap://server.internal.domain.tld:389/????!StartTLS; baseDN = "dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindDN = "cn=ldap,cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindPassword = "ldapPW"; filter = "((NOT isCriticalSystemObject='TRUE') AND (mail=\'*\') AND (NOT objectClass=contact))"; //Uncomment to list local users in WebUI without searching (small directories only) //listRequiresDot = NO; }, { id = sambaContacts; displayName = "Shared Contacts"; canAuthenticate = NO; isAddressBook = YES; type = ldap; CNFieldName = cn; IDFieldName = mail; UIDFieldName = mail; hostname = ldap://server.internal.domain.tld:389/????!StartTLS; baseDN = "dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindDN = "cn=ldap,cn=Users,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=tld"; bindPassword = "ldapPW"; filter = "((((objectClass=person) AND (objectClass=contact) AND ((uidNumber>=2000) OR (mail='*'))) AND (NOT isCriticalSystemObject='TRUE') AND (NOT showInAdvancedViewOnly='TRUE') AND (NOT uid=Guest)) OR (((objectClass=group) AND (gidNumber>=2000)) AND (NOT isCriticalSystemObject='TRUE') AND (NOT showInAdvancedViewOnly='TRUE')))"; mapping = { displayname = ("cn"); //Uncomment to list contacts in WebUI without searching (few contacts only) //listRequiresDot = NO; }; } );

Maria DB

For debugging purposes, edit the to enable all debugging switches:

/* Debug */ SOGoDebugRequests = YES; SoDebugBaseURL = YES; ImapDebugEnabled = YES; LDAPDebugEnabled = YES; PGDebugEnabled = YES; MySQL4DebugEnabled = YES; SOGoUIxDebugEnabled = YES; WODontZipResponse = YES; WOLogFile = /var/log/sogo/sogo.log;

If problems occur, check by running as root.

Further modify the file to include SQL as a user source (change the password to the chosen password for the sogo mysql user):

SOGoUserSources = ( { type = sql; id = directory; viewURL = "mysql://sogo:yoursogopassword@127.0.0.1:3306/sogo/sogo_users"; canAuthenticate = YES; isAddressBook = YES; userPasswordAlgorithm = md5; } );

Alternatively, a view can be used instead of the table directly. More information about which values are available for SOGoUserSources can be found here: https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#_authentication_using_sql

Completing configuration

Now enable and start the memcached service and restart the service. Test by visiting http://server.internal.domain.tld/SOGo/ .

ActiveSync configuration

Apache

To add ActiveSync support, simply uncomment the following lines in :

... ProxyPass /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync \ http://127.0.0.1:20000/SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync \ retry=60 connectiontimeout=5 timeout=3600 ...

This will result in extended locking delays if you have more than a handful of users, so some tuning is required. You may notice that the above line was changed from 360 seconds to 3600 seconds (or one hour). This is because EAS devices need to keep their HTTP connections open for very long times (up to one hour). Because of this, you will need to tell SOGo (see below) to honor that timeout. Reload the service before continuing.

nginx

Add the following to your server definition for SOGo in :

... location ^~ /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:20000/SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync; proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:20000/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /; } location ^~ /SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:20000/SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync; proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:20000/SOGo/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /; } ...

Additional tuning may be required for the parameters in the SOGo section below (timeout, retry, and next host values, specifically).

SOGo

As stated above for the listed HTTP servers, some tuning is required to use EAS. While the timeouts below (59 minutes) are appropriate for the HTTP session timeout set above, the number of workers is dependent on the number of simultaneous EAS clients you must support. In short, you will always need more workers than EAS clients to allow start of another worker for push operations. Additionally, the sync interval will allow you to reduce the load on the server so that less delay is generated, and this dependent on the total number of clients. The SOGo configuration guide, available at https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.pdf, lists two example configurations. The 100 user with 10 EAS users example was chosen for this article. Append the following lines to making sure that they are placed before the closing brace ("}") character:

/* ActiveSync */ WOWorkersCount = 15; WOWatchDogRequestTimeout = 59; SOGoMaximumPingInterval = 3540; SOGoMaximumSyncInterval = 3540; SOGoInternalSyncInterval = 30;

Finally, restart the service.
