Managing the mail service for WebCenter Spaces

I need to setup the mail service in WebCenter Spaces and could use some assistance. I have a standalone Linux DEV box that has WebCenter 11.1.1.2 installed. I have Documents, Discussions, wikis+blogs all working in this instance.
Now, I need to configure the mail service for this DEV instance to an SMTP mail server but I don't have any experience with this part. Has anyone setup the mail service using the Linux sendmail or Exchange 2003? How did you setup the external application for the mail server if you want to use Sendmail? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Everybody
I am also having similar problems. I could configure everything except for the mail service.
I have the SMTP port but do not have IMAP details as our IT team does not maintain the IMAP.
Please let me know how can I configure mail service with the SMTP details only.
Your timely help would be much appreciated as we are in between a project development.

Domino Lotus Mail Integration With Webcenter Spaces

Hello,
I am looking for solution for Domino Lotus Mail Integration with Webcenter Spaces, can you please let me know any one having any technical idea how to integrate with webcenter spaces.
Please provide the solution.
Thanks,
Chandra

For registering a mail server to WebCenter Spaces, see this link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_mail.htm#WCADM238
If you want to do more advanced stuff like synchronizing calendar events in Spaces with events registered at Domino Server, I'm not sure whether it is possible out-of-the-box. There is an API for synchronization with MS Exchange (based on web services), so provided that Domino Server has a similar interface you could try the same approach.
If you want to run WebCenter apps/portlets in Lotus front-end environment, I'm almost sure it is impossible.

I don't get the Mail service to work - tried everything!

Hey there,
I am frustrated. It's day 4 that I try to get the mail service on my machine running. Maybe someone has sme hints?
The setup:
- Mac Mini mid 2010
- OS X Mavericks and Server 3.0.1
- static IP (no Firewall or anything else, absolute in the wild)
- registered domain-name
- DNS A-Record: server.mydomain.org -> static IP
- DNS MX-Record: domain, *.domain -> server.mydomain.org; server.mydomain.org -> static IP of server
Server Configuration:
- Server.app shows everything is fine.
- ssh enabled for one user (works as a charme)
- Service-Data is on another partition than Mavericks
- Certificate: self-signed intermediate OD-Certificate (might be problematic?)
- users: one local user and one network-user (services-only)
- groups: workgroup, local network-group (added by the server.app itself)
Services:
- Websites: configured with 12 virtual-hosts some ssl (intermediate certificate) some on port 80, php enabled (All websites work perfect, no problems at all!)
- OpenDirectory: 1 Master on server.mydomain.org
- Mail:
-- Service-Bubble is green, says available under server.mydomain.org
-- Preferences: Mail available for mydomain.org (no other virtual domains)
-- authentification: hooked everything...(any method)
-- no relais
-- no MB-restriction for users
-- Filter: Virus and Junk
I can telnet on port 110 - feedback: dovecot ready!
I can telnet on port 995 - feedback: works... escape characeter is ' ^'.
I can telnet on port 143 - feedback: dovecot ready!
I can telnet on port 993 - feedback: works... escape characeter is ' ^'.
telnet on port 25 - unable to connect, operation timed out
telnet on port 465 - unable to connect, operation timed out
telnet on port 587 - -feedback works: 220 server.pscience.de ESMTP Postfix
Seems like having problem on the smtp standard ports... but why?
When I now try to connect a client with the server (adding an OS X server Account in the System Preferences) it recognizes the server and lists its services as expected. But when Iopen Mail, the new account shows the litlle lightning and says it can't connect.
By the way: Notes, Calendar, Reminders work fine!
Has anyone an Idea what it could be?
Do I need some additional DNS-stuff?
If you need some further informations, please let me know.

If TCP port 25 isn't open, then SMTP services won't work. That's the port that all SMTP servers use to communicate amongst themselves. (Sure, you can change the port your SMTP server is listening on, but you'd also have to change the port processing on all of the other SMTP servers around — and if you did manage to implement that change everywhere, the local network folks would likely just block the new port for the same reasons they blocked the old port.)
If you have a public static IP address and have correct forward and reverse translations — host domain to IP address, and IP address to host domain name — then you don't need and very likely don't want to run your own DNS server.
More to help you learn how these pieces fit together and not something I'd expect you would need given you have a public static IP and public DNS here is a detailed DNS server configuration article for OS X Server; enable Show All Records and it applies to Server.app on 10.7 and later. If you have questions after reading that, I can certainly answer them and also update the article to try to reduce the confusion or answer the question.
Your host didn't have valid reverse DNS, so you'll want to get that cleared up, and you'll want to get the port blocks cleared, or work with the local network folks to set up a relay through one of the existing mail servers.

How do I set up Mail service for simple IMAP with SSL?

This should be easy but something isn't working. I have an Xserve with 10.6. I've enabled the Mail service, and want to add this server as an Account under Entourage. I've put in the IP address, my username/password, etc. but something isn't working. It appears under the Accounts folder tree, but when I try to send an email, I have a window that says "4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem", Error -17099". I've also seen errors telling me the password is being sent in cleartext and I can't see where I enable the same (SSL, password needed) settings on the client and the server menus. Can someone clue me in - what are the right settings on both ends to have a simple IMAP w/o cleartext passwords? I had this working fine in 10.4 Server... Thanks!
Mike

I see dropdown menus for SMTP SSL and IMAP/POP SSL. I have them both set as "Require"
Do not to this if your server is handling incoming mail from outside your network.
Few remote mail servers will use SSL, so if your server requires SSL then you will not be able to receive mail from outside your domain.
'Use', on the other hand, advertises the fact your server supports SSL, so clients and remote servers can use if if they like, but this still allows other mail in.
What should "Authentication" be - "Login" or "Plain"
Do not use Plain unless you absolutely trust all your clients (i.e. they're all on a LAN or all using SSL). Plain sends an unencrypted password over the wire, which is susceptible to sniffing.
what will the client be using?
Whatever you set it to.
The client complains about a correct root certificate not being installed).
Are you using a self-signed certificate? if so, you're going to get that unless you do a lot of extra work. Getting a real certificate from a trusted authority should resolve this.
As for the slow connections, the use of SSL shouldn't significantly impact connection or delivery/transfer times, so something else is amiss.

Creating the Windows Service for the Database Instance

Hello, I am using the PeopleTools 8.52 Installation for Oracle documentation and was in Task 6A-2: Creating the Windows Service for the Database Instance.
After I type in
oradim -new -sid ORCL -intpwd manager -startmode auto -pfile C:\Oracle\database\initORCL.ora
I had encountered these errors:
OPW-00005: File with same name exists - please delete or rename
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1073) The specified service already exists.
Please advise.... Thank you in advance!

Hi, thank you for your reply!
After I typed oradim -delete -sid ORCL, it shows this:
Unable to stop service, OS Error = 1062
Instance deleted.
Then, I:
Set ORACLE_SID=ORCL
oradim -new -sid ORCL -intpwd manager -startmode auto -pfile C:\Oracle\database\initORCL.ora
Then, it shows:
OPW-00005: Files with same name exists - please delete or rename
Instance created.
Does it mean no error already and I can proceed?

Set up Mail service for SMTP only.

I wish to set up the Mail service to act as an smtp server only.
I have FileMaker Server running on this server, on which I am using a plug-in to send mail to my ISP's smtp server. But I am outgrowing my daily sending limits through my ISP (100/day), and would like to run my own smtp server instead.
I have turned on the smtp mail service and it is running, but I'm not sure what credentials I should use to authenticate when connecting to this smtp server...

I have turned on the smtp mail service and it is running, but I'm not sure what credentials I should use to authenticate when connecting to this smtp server...
Why use any?
If the Filemaker Server is inside your network and this server is just acting as a relay for outgoing mail then you don't need authentication at all. Just tell postfix to trust local networks ("Relay mail from the following networks" in Server Admin and add your internal addresses) and you're set.
Since the server won't be accepting mail from outside clients or servers that's all you need to do. There's no need to authenticate since the connection is coming from a trusted network.
If you still do want to use authentication then just provide any username/password combo that is valid for this server. You could even create a dummy account just for this purpose if you prefer.

ACL - ILS (Item Level Security) for Webcenter Spaces

We're trying to implement Item Level Security (ILS / ACL) for Webcenter spaces. We're following the instructions from the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/webcenter.1111/e12405.pdf
After making the configuration changes, we're unable to see the "Security" option from the "File" menu in the Document explorer. Has anyone else implemented this feature and ran into similar issues?
Also, we're looking at the document properties in webcenter spaces via document explorer and do not see the "security group" or "accounts" metadata fields. We can see the "Content ID" and a whole bunch of fields and do not see "security groups" and "accounts". However, when we log into the content server and look at the folder or file "info" we can clearly see the security group and account values...not sure what is required to make these two fields show up in webcenter spaces.

Hi ,
Do you upload the documents from spaces or from UCM side ?
When you say the security and account field are not displayed , is that when viewing the content or during update ?
When the ACL features are turned off do you see the above fields ?
Thanks

Discussion and Announcement Services in webcenter Spaces + Active Directory

I had successfully customized Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces using the default authenticator user WEBLOGIC. And it was working fine.
I was able to post and configure announcement and also able to create forums and threads in webcenter spaces.
Now i have Successfully integrated my ACTIVE DIRECTORY to WLS. And now i want to configure discussion and announcement using active directory users. i am facing problem in it. I am able to login to Webcenter spaces as well as 8890/owc_discussions and also in 8890/owc_discussions/admin (jive forum admin) using AD users. i have also given admin roles to ACTIVE directory users in 8890/owc_discussions/admin under Global Settings -> Admins & Moderators .
When I tried to configure Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces it gives me errors like.....
(1) The service did not get provisioned.
(2) failure to authenticate the user *******, due to: Unable to connect to discussion server.*
Do i need to make changes in keystore.properties & jive_crypto.jar ? Do i need to make a new connection in EM inside WebCenter > Service Configuration.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you set up ws-security between your webcenter and discussion server? If not you need to set it up to get rid of the authentication error.
Are you setting up a single-sign on between all webcenter components using OAM? If so there is an additional step to add/update owc_discussions.sso.mode property under discussion admin.

Creating permission in UCM for WebCenter Space

Hi,
I want to automatically create a directory in UCM with permissions for the WebCenter Space users.
One WCenter Space - one directory in UCM.
In this directory will be stored files for WCenter Space.
Is it possible to configure UCM, WCenter for this case ?
Or I must resolve it programatically.
Thanks...

Hi
Requirement that you are looking for is the default behavior for Webcenter - UCM integration where in every new spaces created on WC is created a Folder on UCM .
Thanks

Calendar sync problem: "the default service for your device's calendar has changed..."

When I go to sync, this window pops up: "The default service for your device's 'Calendar' has changed since the last time you synchronized. Click OK to use your new default service and combine your data, which might duplicate some entries. Click Cancel to stop...."
I haven't changed a thing. What's going on? I don't want to get duplicate entries.

Yes, I sync with Outlook. From what I understand, your default service should be your e-mail address for both mail & calendar.Spell Check

I can't get the mail service to stop

Heya,
I am working on Leopard 10.5.4 server, and having a slight problem with mail. Essentially, I cannot get the mail service to stop. More specifically, I cannot get the SMTP service to stop. When I click on stop service in the Server Admin, SMTP says "Attempting to Stop", then goes right back to running. Problem is that the Stop Service Button never changes to Start Service, so IMAP and POP will not start. I am thinking about migrating my email boxes to a secondary Leopard Server that I have, and completely ripping out the mail piece, reinstalling, and migrating users back.... Unfortunately, I don't know how to migrate the users (I tried using mailbfr but, in the end, the mailboxes don't appear in the new server), and I don't know how to completely rip and reinstall the mail piece. As you can tell, by the rip and reinstall tactics that I want to resort to, I am a recovering Windows guy who is in way over his head.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, the serveradmin stop mail command worked. Unfortunately, I am
unable to authenticate when trying to login as from a client. IMAP

Honestly, I think that my problem at this point is OD and kerberos.
This machine is an OD Replica, but I cannot demote it. The same thing
happens as with mail... I try to make it stand alone, it goes through
the wizard, and then when it is done, goes right back to OD Replica,
and won't turn off... The OD Master doesn't see it as a valid replica
anymore. I also noticed that although kerberos is running on the OD
master, it is not running on this machine.
I know I am in the wrong forum for this, but any ideas?

Error in the SMTP log of the mail service regarding "master.lock"

I am getting the following error in the SMTP log of the mail service, Anybody might have any suggestions:
postfix/master[87670]: fatal: open lock file /var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot open file: Permission denied.
The permissions of the master.lock file are as follows:
-rw------- 1 _postfix mail 33 Jul 7 10:25 master.lock
The Mail service stops after a few minutes from starting it
I appreciate your feedback

I found the problem.. the executable job was referring to a none existing batch file..
I have refreshed the database from production some time ago and the jobs I have setup are referring to production scripts and paths (which we didnt have on dev)..
This is now resolved.
Thanks
