[Guide] Autoconfig + autodiscover for simple platforms

HI guys,

I created a short guide from the posting by Antal Delahaije (admxnl) on http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2152

Look here:
https://github.com/foe-services/ispc-resources/tree/master/guides/autodiscover

Limitations: All mailboxes must be located on the same machine (domains for the services pop, smtp, imap) because domains are hardcoded to the xml files

 

I updated the guide to correctly work with Outlook >= 2007
Now it is on both clients (Outlook and Thunderbird) possible to add an account with only username and password.

 

Hi

I just glanced over your guide.
Does it support nginx?

 

You need the rewrite that is in the .htaccess but you need to add it to the vhost config in nginx. This works for me:

Code:

server {
   listen *:80;
   server_name discover.domain.de autoconfig.* autodiscover.*;
   root  /var/www/discover.domain.de/web;
   index index.html;
   error_log /var/log/nginx/discover.domain.de/error.log;
   access_log /var/log/nginx/discover.domain.de/access.log combined;
   #location ^~ /autodiscover/ {
  #  index autodiscover.php;
  #  rewrite ^/.*$ /autodiscover.php last;
   #}
   rewrite ^/autodiscover/autodiscover\.xml$ /autodiscover/autodiscover.php;
 
   location = /robots.txt {
     allow all;
     log_not_found off;
     access_log off;
   }
   location ~ \.php$ {
     try_files $uri =404;
     include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
     fastcgi_pass unix:/var/lib/php5-fpm/discover.sock;
     fastcgi_index index.php;
     fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
     fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
     fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
   }
}

Sorry but I dont see the option to properly post code here on the forum.

 

Thanks-

 

Thanks for digging for this old post.
I've been working on a tool to offer autodiscovery for mail clients in a multiserver environment but just didn't manage to get it working for outlook.
Using some single lines of Christians code I just finished my plugin.

@cfoe
So I put your code in "nginx Directives" box of my site?
Any additional settings?
DNS entries?

 

@inside83 You need to follow @theWeird's instructions for dns

 

Updated for ISPConfig 3.1, apache 2.4 and added option to manually configure the mail server FQDN as the detected server name wasn't ideal for my mirrored setup. https://github.com/dmgeurts/isp-mailConfig

 

Update: resolved. Thanks

Thanks for this tool. I did follow all the instructions but for some reason I am being directed to the default site when I run a test.
When I change the following link it will not direct my request correctly: https://discover.my-service.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=user%40my-mail.com
I did check the DNS records and these all seem te be fine.
I am running the service at discover.s1.gigabitjes.nl and a queries for https://discover.s1.gigabitjes.nl or https://discover.s1.gigabitjes.nl/mail/ ends up at 000default.tld. This is of course included in the above URL eg https://disover.s1.gigabitjes.nl/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=test%40mydomain.com (where "mydomain.com" is the domain which I am testing).
I am hoping you could point me into the right direction

 

Update: resolved. Thanks

Thanks for the updated version. I am struggling with it a bit, but I appreciate the update.

 

@dmgeurts, @theWeird: update :: some progress! I am able to get the xml output with the test URL now

 

Hello,

Thanks for this work.

Would it be possible to include instructions for Nginx please?

 

Sorry, I don't use Nginx. If you have suggestions I can add those.

 

Anyone else having issues running this on PHP 7.2 or is it just me? I moved from 5.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 to 7.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 and it's no longer working. Pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the login call isn't working.

Tested the account credentials and that's fine. SSL is forced and using a valid certificate. The errors thrown: can't connect to host.
