On the top, there is a block where you can see your organization's name and you can Unconfigure, destroy all directory information and To provide all the information for the virtual mail domains capabilities. This general OpenChange configuration interface could take a few seconds to load, it needs to query several other Zentyal components Will perform the appropriated queries to return the Autodiscover information and EWS operations after querying both Samba and OpenChange. Those requests will reach the first layer, which will be in charge of routing them to the OCSManager. As shown at the diagram they can be performed from both internal and externalĬlients. In both cases, the first layer will end up with Apache using a 'proxy_pass' to the 'sogod' daemon.ĮWS Services (accessed by dashed and solid gray) Webmail requests are pure HTTP performed by the web client, while ActiveSync® is based on XML inside HTTP.

Where, at the end, Apache, using the RPCproxy WSGI, will unencapsulate the protocol and perform the MAPI calls to the OpenChange component.īrowser access and mobile ActiveSync® (green) The previously commented MAPI/RPC protocol is encapsulated inside a HTTP(S) session, thus it will arrive to the first layer Microsoft® Outlook Anywhere (solid orange and solid gray) Will be in charge of querying the other components to reply. In this case the client can communicate natively with OpenChange using the MAPI/RPC protocol. Internal MAPI query (dashed orange and dashed gray) To handle with SMTP and IMAP protocols (sending and storing mail messages) you can also Managed in MySQL database and IMAP folders. In this case mails, events, contacts and tasks are stored and They will accept connections to provide dataĪnd grant a proper authentication. At that second layer you can find OpenChange and Samba. Of the layer underneath, they serve as the frontal proxies. In that layer connections will be delivered to the appropriated component The infrastructure deployed to process those connections can be better understood thinking of the whole system as a layered one.įirst layer would be placed at Apache and HA Proxy level. While those connecting to an external network should make use of Microsoft® Outlook Anywhere technology. Microsoft Outlook® clients located in the internal networks are typically configured to use MAPI protocol Starting from Microsoft Outlook® clients from internal or external networks, and finishing with connections from the webmail HTTP/HTTPS gateway to interact with all the mentioned mail and groupware features.Īt the bottom of the diagram there are shown a different range of connections which can access our mail and groupware Zentyal offers a Webmail platform integrated with OpenChange. MAPI Proxy (Outlook® Anywhere) component, able to encapsulate the protocol using HTTP/RPC.

The client to a domain or to install any external software.Īpart from the connections established within the organization's network, your Microsoft Outlook® clients can connect from any point of the Internet thanks to the Which contains the user accounts belonging to the organization.Īs previously mentioned, the Microsoft Outlook® client can communicate natively with this component, there is no need to re-join OpenChange itself is a Samba4 plugin, using Samba4 to retrieve user information, perform authentication and access the Global Address List directory service, Similarly, a calendar entry made in Mozilla™ Lightning over the CalDAV protocol is visible and modifiable A message in the Microsoft Outlook® inbox is visible in Mozilla™ Thunderbird's view of the same account via IMAP, and when deleted

In addition to being a MAPI server, OpenChange is a bridge between MAPI and these Internet-standard protocols (IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, etc), keeping both These protocols manage, not just the electronic mail, but also contact MAPI protocol, and optionally ActiveSync®. OpenChange achieves complete compatibility because it implements the same MAPI ( 1) protocols as existing mail and groupware clients: the To work unchanged, without needing any plug-ins, reconfiguration or migration. With OpenChange, Microsoft Outlook® clients continue Of Microsoft® Exchange Server protocols in Linux. Zentyal integrates OpenChange, the first and only native implementation
