type
The type of the authentication source. In this case '”mail”. It can also be “ldap” but this is still in expirimental stages.
name The name of the authentication source as it will appear in a pulldown menu when there are more then one authentication sources defined.
user_manager The type of user management you wish to use. This can be “sql”, 'passwd” en “ldap” zijn. By default “sql” is used. It can however be very useful to use “passwd”. With this option system accounts are changed when you change the password in Group-Office. This is only possible when the mailserver runs on the local machine (“localhost”) and you must allow the Apache system users to execute the command “chpasswd”. This can be done with the program “sudo”. add the following line to /etc/sudoers using the “visudo” command: apache ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/chpasswd Replace the apache username if nessecary. Also check the path of chpasswd. If this path is different then you must also change this path in “config.php”.
proto The protocol. Can be IMAP or POP-3. IMAP is highly recommended. POP-3 is slow and doesn't offer the use of multiple e-mail folders.
domain The domain of the e-mail addresses.
host The hostname of the machine where the mailserver runs.
port The port . For IMAP usually 143 and for POP-3 usually 110.
ssl SSL mode on or off
novalidate_cert Validate the SSL certificate yes or no. with some mailservers you must enable this feature always even if you don't use SSL.
mbroot The mailbox root. In most cases you can leave this value empty. It could be that you must enter “INBOX” or “mail” here.
add_domain_to_username Enable this option if you need to login with the full e-mail address at the mailserver.
create_email_account If you want to create an e-mail account in Group-Office automatically when a user logs in the first time enable this option.
