# Nextcloud Mail Developer Documentation ## Resetting the app Connect to your database and run the following commands (`oc_` is the default table prefix): ```sql DELETE FROM oc_appconfig WHERE appid = 'mail'; DELETE FROM oc_migrations WHERE app = 'mail'; DROP TABLE oc_mail_accounts; DROP TABLE oc_mail_aliases; DROP TABLE oc_mail_coll_addresses; DROP TABLE oc_mail_attachments; DROP TABLE oc_mail_mailboxes; DROP TABLE oc_mail_messages; DROP TABLE oc_mail_recipients; DROP TABLE oc_mail_classifiers; DROP TABLE oc_mail_trusted_senders; DROP TABLE oc_mail_tags; DROP TABLE oc_mail_message_tags; DROP TABLE oc_mail_provisionings; ``` ## Enable CKEditor Inspector ![ckeditor inspector](./ckeditor_inspector.png) - `npm install --save-dev @ckeditor/ckeditor5-inspector`. - Open `src/components/TextEditor.vue` (CKEditor is initialized in this component). - Import the module `import CKEditorInspector from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-inspector';` - Add `CKEditorInspector.attach( editor );` to `onEditorReady` Documentation: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/framework/guides/development-tools.html ## Testing LDAP aliases provisioning Testing the ldap aliases provisioning requires: 1. LDAP service configured in Nextcloud 2. IMAP service using LDAP for authentication 3. A provisioning configuration for Mail ### LDAP service configured in Nextcloud The fastest way to setup Nextcloud with LDAP is https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-docker-dev. It's still possible to integrate a ldap service into your own development setup with docker-compose. ``` ldap: image: osixia/openldap:1.5.0 command: --copy-service --loglevel debug ports: - 50003:389 volumes: - ./ldap:/container/service/slapd/assets/config/bootstrap/ldif/custom environment: LDAP_DOMAIN: planetexpress.com LDAP_BASE_DN: dc=planetexpress,dc=com ldapadmin: image: osixia/phpldapadmin:0.9.0 ports: - 50004:443 environment: - PHPLDAPADMIN_LDAP_HOSTS=ldap ``` To have sample users we are using https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-docker-dev/tree/master/data/ldap. - Download the directory and save it in the same directory as docker-compose.yml. - Delete 99_others.ldif (otherwise you have a lot of additional test users). - Adjust the port mapping for your use case if necessary. Run docker-compose to start ldap and ldapadmin. Visit ldapadmin at http://localhost:50004 (or whatever port you configured) and try to login with - user: cn=admin,dc=planetexpress,dc=com - password: admin ![ldapadmin overview](./ldap_ldapadmin.png) Next step is to configure our LDAP service in Nextcloud. - Login as administrator - Go to apps and enable "LDAP user and group backend" - Go to settings -> LDAP/AD integration ![ldap in nextcloud - server](./ldap_nc1.png) - Host: the address of your LDAP server - Port: 389 mostly - User DN: cn=admin,dc=planetexpress,dc=com - Password: admin - One Base DN per line: dc=planetexpress,dc=com Click Test Base DN to test the configuration. ![ldap in nextcloud - user](./ldap_nc2.png) - Only these object classes: inetOrgPerson Click Verfiy settings and count users. ![ldap in nextcloud - login attributes](./ldap_nc3.png) - Check LDAP/AD Username - Check LDAP/AD Email Address ![ldap in nextcloud - groups](./ldap_nc4.png) - Only these object classes: groupOfNames ![ldap in nextcloud - groups](./ldap_nc5.png) - User Display Name Field: givenName ### IMAP service using LDAP for authentication In a production environment we would configure our IMAP service to authenticate against the LDAP service. For our testing scenario it's sufficient to configure some LDAP accounts on the IMAP service. ``` imap: image: christophwurst/imap-devel:latest ports: - "25:25" - "143:143" - "993:993" - "4190:4190" environment: - MAILNAME=mail.domain.tld - MAIL_ACCOUNTS=admin@test.local,password 3268b904-582d-103b-83a5-c7ccb54ec103@planetexpress.com,bender 32657d7a-582d-103b-83a4-c7ccb54ec103@planetexpress.com,amy ``` Extend our docker-compose.yml and add the imap test image. Use the MAIL_ACCOUNTS environment variable to create test accounts for IMAP. ![ldap in nextcloud - user management](./ldap_nc6.png) 3268b904-582d-103b-83a5-c7ccb54ec103@planetexpress.com is the username for the user in the LDAP directory. The username might be different on your setup. Please lookup the right values in the Nextcloud user management. To create a IMAP account for Amy and Bender add to MAIL_ACCOUNTS. `32657d7a-582d-103b-83a4-c7ccb54ec103@planetexpress.com,amy 3268b904-582d-103b-83a5-c7ccb54ec103@planetexpress.com,bender` The password is (for our sample data) the display name in lowercase. Note that accounts are seperated by a space. ### A provisioning configuration for Mail ![ldap in nextcloud - provisioning configuration](./ldap_nc7.png) The above configuration will query the mailAlias attribute for each user and use it to create and delete aliases. Our sample data for LDAP does not contain mailAlias. To add one or more mailAliases to a user: - Visit ldapadmin - Expand dc=planetexpress,dc=com - Expand ou=people - Pick a user (e.g Bender) - Look for objectClass -> Click add value -> Select PostfixBookMailAccount -> Click Add new ObjectClass - Click Add new attribute -> Select mailAlias -> Enter rodriquez@planetexpress.com -> Press Enter -> Click Update Object Now login to Nextcloud as Bender and go to Mail. See rodriquez@planetexpress.com as Alias in the Account settings for the provisoned mail account.
