ZARAFA-UNIX.CFG(5)

NAME
zarafa-unix.cfg - The Zarafa Unix user plugin configuration file

SYNOPSIS

unix.cfg

DESCRIPTION

The unix.cfg is a configuration file for the unix user plugin. All options to correctly retrieve user and group information can be set here.

FILE FORMAT

The file consists of one big section, but parameters can be grouped by functionality.

The parameters are written in the form:

name = value

The file is line-based. Each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, nothing, a parameter or a directive. A line beginning with `#' is considered a comment, and will be ignored by Zarafa. Parameter names are case sensitive. Lines beginning with `!' are directives.

Directives are written in the form:

!directive [argument(s)]

The following directives exist:

include
    Include and process argument Example: !include common.cfg

EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER

fullname_charset
    The charset that is used in /etc/passwd for the fullname of a user. In most setups, us-ascii is used, but may also be iso-8859-15. All charsets supported by the system iconv() are supported here. Since iso-8859-15 is an extension on us-ascii, this is used as the default to support high characters for most latin languages. If your default shell is in UTF-8 (see your locales settings), enter utf-8 here. Default: iso-8859-15

default_domain
    The default domain name to set as e-mail address. When a user is created, it's email address will be set to username@default_domain. Default: no default present.

min_user_uid
    This is the minimal uid a user must have to be created as a Zarafa user. This is to skip system users present in the /etc/passwd file. Normally, users start at 1000. Default: 1000

max_user_uid
    This is the maximum uid a user may have to be created as a Zarafa user. This is to skip system users present in the /etc/passwd file with a high uid, as user nobody does. Default: 10000

except_user_uids
    A whitespace seperated list of uids that are within the min_user_uid and max_user_uid range, but shouldn't be considered as users. Default: empty

min_group_gid
    This is the minimal gid a group must have to be created as a Zarafa group. This is to skip system groups present in the /etc/group file. Normally, groups start at 1000. Default: 1000

max_group_gid
    This is the maximum gid a group may have to be created as a Zarafa group. This is to skip system groups present in the /etc/group file with a high gid, as group nogroup does. Default: 10000

except_group_gids
    A whitespace seperated list of gids that are within the min_group_gid and max_group_gid range, but shouldn't be considered as groups. Default: empty

non_login_shell
    This this the shell a user has to be created as a non-login box. Mail can be delivered to this box, but you cannot directly login with this username. The uid must be within the defined limits. Default: /bin/false

USER ATTRIBUTES

Not all Zarafa attributes can be used from the system files. The following attibutes are used from the system files:

username
    The login name of the user.

fullname
    The fullname of the user.

password
    The password is in the /etc/shadow file. Zarafa needs reads access to this file to correctly work with the Unix plugin.

Other attributes like quota settings, admin setting and e-mail address are kept in the database like the db user plugin does.
