Topic: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

hi all,

i just can't get shared folder to work.

i've installed the latest iredmail (0.70 rc1) on a fresh ubuntu 10.04. then i followed the instructions from http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php? … MAP.Folder. most of the things are already set in the latest release rc1 i only needed to enable acl and imap_acl in dovecot.conf.
the instructions in the wiki partially use different mysql users than the current files (vmailuser vs. iredadmin), also the mysql table "share_folder"" does belong to the database "iredadmin" instead of "vmail".. but when i set acls via telnet the table in mysql gets properly filled with an entry so this seems to work.

via telnet i've shared the folder "Sent" of the user www@ like in the instructions.

i set mail_debug to yes in dovecot, this is what i get when i log in as www:

when i log in as another user (the one i shared the folder to), roundcube doesn't show the additional folder like in your example screenhsot from roundcube.
do i miss something? does roundcube need an additional plugin? also logging in with thunderbird doesn't offer the folder for subscription.

any help is heavily appreciated.

best regards, alex

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

I didn't have it working with OpenLDAP backend yet, but it works with MySQL backend (tested with openSUSE + MySQL).
Still need some troubleshooting. Sorry.

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

hi ZhangHuangbin,

thanks for your answer. i don't understand why this is related to LDAP? everything is mysql related which needs to be set to get shared folders working.. but maybe its me..

i am trying to track this down. the bigger goal is to also install sogo on top so i am bound to LDAP. so if i keep asking questions maybe we can lead it to a working ldap version as well.

does iredadmin pro give me further possibilities? i would puchase it if it then works!

still your project is great! very good! keep it going!

best regards, alex

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

hi ZhangHuangbin,

i installed the version with mysql backend and there sharing works like you described. i compared the dovecot-logs to see what are the differences in setup.
my conclusion now is that the ldap version of iredmail has some problems with the maildir.. the log of the mysql version shows the correct path of the dovecot shared namespace while the ldap version shows different paths.. :

in the ldap version the paths are somehow mixed up and incomplete. see below. so my conclusion ist that it is not reading the paths from ldap correctly (homeDirectory etc.) but i don't know where i can change these.

if this helps you to get it working i am digging deeper.

are you planning on fixing the ldap version in general in the next future? i am sure it is just some little things..

thanks a lot for your effort!

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

Hi, alexp.

I did try to make shared folder work with LDAP backend, but failed, and the worst thing is i can't find what the root cause was.

I found these lines in your log:

Seems dovecot found correct ACL setting file.

If you want to give it another try, you can try to check these files on Ubuntu:
- /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf. LDAP lookup file used by Dovecot. You can find all attributes it needed.
- /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Main config file of Dovecot. ACL related settings are defined here.

Paste related logs here if you found something interesting.

Also, iRedMail-0.7.0 is scheduled to be released on April 01, so if we can't fix it (with necessary testing) before April 01, we have to delay it.

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

hi,

i think i got it working! :)thunderbird is now showing shared folders.. also telnet now shows the shared folders.

some further testing required but we are on the track.

ZhangHuangbin, if you put it in the code, i am looking forward to test the rc3 with a fresh install.

see below what i've changed.

a list "" *
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "folder1"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "folder1/einunterordnder"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX/test1"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/test1/subfolder_test1"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Junk"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/www@rendertaxi.de"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test@rendertaxi.de"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/felix@rendertaxi.de"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/www@rendertaxi.de/Sent"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Shared/test@rendertaxi.de/INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/test@rendertaxi.de/INBOX/sub1"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/felix@rendertaxi.de/sharetest"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/felix@rendertaxi.de/Drafts"
a OK List completed.

the dovecot.log now shows the proper path also for data, index and inbox:

here is what i changed in dovecot-ldap.conf:

default_pass_scheme = CRYPT
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%$/Maildir/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

-- end dovecot-ldap.conf

the ~ for the home directoy was apparently not recognized correctly. so i replaced it withe the actual value. it only reads the mailMessageStore Directory from ldap as a variable and completes the path.

in thunderbird, i can list and subscribe the shared folders. in roundcube, the shared folders are properly displayed under folders, but subscribing is not successful. they are not listed when i go back to email tab. see attachement. do you have an idea? i haven't dug deep inside roundcubes config now

Can you help perform another test with below steps?

- Install a fresh OS.
- Install iRedMail.
- Test shared folder with default setting (enable acl plugin in dovecot manually).
- If it doesn't work, replace '~' by actual value (e.g. /var/vmail/) in dovecot-ldap.conf.

So that we can confirm we changed the right thing, then i can commit the change into iRedMail-0.7.0 before April 01.

[I have very limit internet access, it's hard for me to perform new OS installation for testing. sorry. If you can help test and response quickly, i will commit changes as soon as possible.]

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

Thanks alexp

I have test in CentOS 5.5 use iRedMail R2 ldap backend. and work as expect.

1: add the acl in /etc/dovecot.conf

# LDA: Local Deliver Agent
protocol lda {
    postmaster_address = root
    auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
    mail_plugins = quota sieve autocreate acl
    sieve_global_path = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve
    log_path = /var/log/sieve.log
}

# IMAP configuration
protocol imap {
    mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate acl imap_acl

the second step is modify /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf ,

#user_attrs      = storageBaseDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:~/%$/Maildir/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$
user_attrs      = homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%$/Maildir/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

now Restart dovecot and use telnet seting .

work as expect.

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

hi zhang,

thanks for the quick work! i will also install on a fresh os and test it again.

concerning displaying the shared folders in roundcube:

roundcube needs

namespace shared {
separator = /
prefix = Shared/%%u/
location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u
subscriptions = yes
list = children
}

otherwise subscribing to the shared folders is not successful.

while for thunderbird it is recommendable to use subscriptions=no otherwise it is displaying the whole folder tree of the other users including shared folders.. also tbird seems to get confused by the dot in the domain name and thus showing users twice..

i will keep you updated which settings are best for thunderbird. as a next step i will install sogo on top. i'll tell you my experience!

best, alex

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

i tested shipped roundcubemail-0.5.1 only. Waiting for your further testing and sharing.

Personally, i hope you can share more experiense with us before April 01, so that we can test it some more times, then commit fixes into iRedMail-0.7.0 stable.

Thanks again, for your feedback and time.

Re: shared folder not working with ldap -- SOLVED

Hi Zhang,

I did a fresh install with the rc3 release with ldap backend and sharing email folders works out-of-the-box (ubuntu 10.04).

After some further reading and testing concerning Thunderbird as E-Mail Client: Dovecot Wiki gives hints for the E-Mail Clients: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients

Also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot wa a good ressource.

To use Dovecot with Thunderbird, edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

protocol imap {
...
imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}

The shared namespace should have subscriptions = yes.

In Thunderbird, under 'Server Settings' -> Advanced, uncheck "Show only subscribed folders".

Now the hierachy is displayed correctly in Thunderbird as well as in Roundcube.

Best, Alex

Seems TB works without this setting, the point is TB setting "Show only subscribed folders".
Anyway, i committed it into iRedMail for TB.

Thanks again.

Aug 5, 2024: iRedMail-1.7.1 has been released.
