Vacation Assistent, Forward Tab, Password Tab - hMailserver

[kevinb]

Hey Rol, hope you're enjoying Tenerife. I'm not sure I have RC2. I'll check their site. I actually installed it a few months back so I may not. Thanks! I'll let you know how I make out.

Hi Roland,

Why do I have to set database connections for the hmail database in the db.inc.php?

e.g. for the new user sign up ...

Ok, but when you change anything in the hmail database directly you also need to restart hmail to apply this changes. To make changes to hmail you should use DCOM. (see also http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35125#35125 about this).
Version 5 of hmail it is possible to do this directly into the database. Only version 5 is at this stage only an alpha version.

Adding users works without re-starting hmail 4.x. I don´t use DCOM because I like to have RoundCube on a different [linux] host and not on the winbox where hmail resides.

Ok, thanks for your answer. I shall try to get this also working.

In the fwd.inc and the away.inc you have to set the adminpassword of the hmailserver,
and the host where hmailserver is running, mostly localhost...
The setting have to be done twice in each file.

Well ... NO! The COM-Interface allows to change these values with normal user-rights, just change the COM-Init from

Code Select Expand

 $hCOMApp->Authenticate("Administrator", $admpasshmail);
to this

Code Select Expand


  $hCOMApp->Authenticate($_SESSION['username'], decrypt_passwd($_SESSION['password']));
This will use the logged on users credentials as it should be.

You could also optimize more by using this

Code Select Expand

 $obAccount = $hCOMApp->Authenticate($_SESSION['username'], decrypt_passwd($_SESSION['password']));
and drop the later $obAccount = .... and all that $domain and $obDomain stuff since you're not using it either

And last but not least for full COM-usage, change the rcmail_save_passwd function

Code Select Expand

function rcmail_save_passwd($curpasswd, $newpasswd)
{
 global $CONFIG, $_SESSION, $DB;

  //COM Objekt erstellen
  $hCOMApp = new COM("hMailServer.Application");
  $obAccount = $hCOMApp->Authenticate($_SESSION['username'], decrypt_passwd($_SESSION['password']));
   
  if ($obAccount->ValidatePassword($curpasswd)) {
    $obAccount->Password = $newpasswd;
    $obAccount->Save();
    $_SESSION['password'] = encrypt_passwd($newpasswd);
    return(1);
  }
}

hello,

I have found a bug in passwd function:

If the user has a password with umlauts (like ä,ö,ü) the passwd form can't handle this and response with error saving new password.

Could anybody solve that?

Many thanks!

[SimonSez07]

Here is the plugin that has been modified for RoundCube v0.2.2.

@webneo82: I have not looked into this bug, but I will see if anything can be done.

@desiredforsome: there is many things that can be wrong with your installation including com access not working. see the hmailserver docs for enabling com and permissions related to iis.
