Groupware via Webmail / Horde

To date, the groupware features in ClarkConnect have only been accessible via Outlook.  Moving forward, it will be possible to access these groupware features with the Horde Webmail system.  Groupware features include:

• Address Book
• Calendar
• Tasks
• Notes

A beta release of this software is now available and the details are provided on this web page.  Please be careful about installing this software on a mission critical system and make sure you review the limitations listed below!

Requirements

You will need ClarkConnect 4.2 installed.

Limitations

The current beta version does not support the following features:

• Mail disclaimers
• Catch-all users
• Spam training via e-mail

Support for the above features will be re-added in the not too distant future.

Install

To install the beta version of the software, you will need to add the bleeding edge download configuration to your apt system:

  echo "rpm [pcn] ftp://core-42:linux@edge.apt.clarkconnect.com System edge" > \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edge.list

You can then install the groupware features with the following commands:

  apt-get update
  apt-get install cc-horde

If you do not want to install other bleeding edge software features (for example MySQL 5), then you should delete the apt configuration after the installation:

  rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edge.list

Updates

Bug fixes for the beta will be made available from time to time.  When a bug fix is available, go through the above installation procedures again.  The following is a list of dates when bug fixes were released:

• April 10, 2008
