Hi all,<br>
<br>
In our ongoing quest to find a working groupware solution we're still looking<br>
into replacing our ageing Kolab 2.x server with a new 3.2 server. Right now,<br>
we are trying to build a minimal test network with the Kolab server (based on<br>
a CentOS 6.5 platform, 64bits, minimal fresh install) and one or two Kubuntu<br>
clients (KDE 4.12.x -> Kontact). The specific aim of this test network is to<br>
test the new Kolab version and - even more imporant - the newer Kontact<br>
version (Kontact has been a constant source of headaches of the past years)<br>
when used with Kolab.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, even just getting a working server installed seems more<br>
difficult than it should be (and I remember 2.x back in the days much easier<br>
to install...). We were following this guide:<br>
<a href="http://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/index.html" target="_blank">http://docs.kolab.org/<u></u>installation-guide/index.html</a><br>
and while we're quite certain that we followed it step by step up until<br>
"setup-kolab", the resulting server comes up with a number of problems:<br>
<br>
- kolab-freebusyd initially throws a number of errors about an invalid<br>
certificate - there is no information about this in the installation guide,<br>
nor does the installation process ask any questions about this. We were able<br>
to get rid of the errors for now by modifying kolab.conf and changing the uri<br>
line for cyrus<br>
from "imaps://localhost:993" to "imaps://localhost:143" and by allowing<br>
plaintext in imapd.conf (it's a test network, so no encryption needed for now<br>
- we just want to get it working ASAP to determine whether Kontact is finally<br>
mature enough).<br>
<br>
- Free-busy does not work even after the change. When logging into roundcube,<br>
we can create events and add another user to them, but when looking at the<br>
availability information, it just stays grey. kolab-freebusyd.log does not<br>
give any hints.<br>
<br>
- Free-busy also does not work in Kontact - no availability information is<br>
shown<br>
<br>
- When looking at free-busy in Kontact, I noticed that the installation guide<br>
contains an error on the "First Login" page. It states:<br>
"Additional locations for applications installed include:<br>
[...]<br>
kolab-freebusy: /kolab-freebusy/<br>
[...]<br>
"<br>
On our server, that location results in a 404 page not found. /freebusy/ seems<br>
to exist, though.<br>
<br>
- The default configuration of the server "out-of-the-box" is not clear to us:<br>
-- Apparently, some certificates are auto-generated and used - but which and<br>
why?<br>
-- Is 389ds configured to allow anonymous logins? Apparently not, given the<br>
error messages Kontact comes up with, but is that described somewhere?<br>
<br>
There are more problems on the Kontact side, but that's another mail (indeed,<br>
my colleague has already sent one out last week).<br>
<br>
If anyone out there can point us in the right direction (RTFMs most welcome)<br>
as to what we may have missed during our installation attempts or with tips in<br>
general, I'd be most grateful!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Thomas<br>

Yes the default configuration certainly needs improving as there are quite a number of issues with it. You just have to search the list archives and bugzilla for fixes.<br>
<br>
In particular freebusy on 3.2 doesn't work due to the change to Cyrus IMAP 2.5. For a work around see <a href="http://lists.kolab.org/pipermail/users/2014-March/016819.html" target="_blank">http://lists.kolab.org/<u></u>pipermail/users/2014-March/<u></u>016819.html</a>.<br>
