Which version of Alfresco are you using? What kind of server are you running on? What database management system?

Hello everyone.
Does anyone can explain how to make a mount point to another space? I have default settings in alfresco-global.properties:

imap.config.home.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.home.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
imap.config.home.folderPath=Imap Home
imap.config.server.mountPoints=AlfrescoIMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.mountPointName=IMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.modeName=ARCHIVE
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.AlfrescoIMAP.mountPointName=Alfresco IMAP
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.AlfrescoIMAP.modeName=MIXED‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I want to know what to write instead ${spaces.store} or /${spaces.company_home.childname}.

Thanks!

I also tried to chage this mount point to another space, but without success. It seems that you have to use some internal variables for accessing the spaces, or some other syntax, which is not documented.

So I hope that someone will give us a clue in how to deal with this issue.

Best,

Hi,

Here is an example of how to create 2 mount points (Docs, MyEmails) that point to the following folders:
1) /Company Home/Documentation (is VIRTUAL meaning it will wrap doc metadata in emails on the fly)
2) /Company Home/User Homes/martin (is ARCHIVE so can be used to drag and drop emails into)

You can also use MIXED mode if you want to both store emails and view doc metadata.
Rememer to make folders writeable for the user to be able to see doc metadata (if they are read-only to the user then the wrapping emails will not be created and you will not see any emails with doc metadata)

# Set default ImapConfigMountPointsBean property values
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.store=${spaces.store}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
imap.config.server.mountPoints.default.modeName=VIRTUAL

# Define mount points (i.e. ImapConfigMountPointsBean beans)
imap.config.server.mountPoints=Docs,MyEmails

# Set mount point specific properties (per ImapConfigMountPointsBean bean)
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.Docs.mountPointName=Docs
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.Docs.folderPath=Documentation
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.Docs.modeName=VIRTUAL
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.MyEmails.mountPointName=My Emails
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.MyEmails.modeName=ARCHIVE
imap.config.server.mountPoints.value.MyEmails.folderPath=User Homes/martin

Hello,

Thank you very much, it works fine.

The only problem I have now is that when I try to connect to Alfresco using some other username other then 'admin' I am getting error message :

"Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for zoran@tet.ba.' reported error (0x800CCCD2) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for zoran@tet.ba. Error: The server responded: 'LSUB failed. 01120112 Zabranjen pristup. Nemate odgovarajuću razinu prava za izvođenje ove akcije.'. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'"

It seems that other alfresco users have no access rights to these IMAP folders. I tried to create new user and grant it with all rights to IMAP Home and all subfolders, including 'Docs' and 'MyEmails' folders from your example which I use in configuration.

When I create new account in Outlook with user 'admin' everything works fine, I can see spaces 'Docs' and 'MyEmails' and work with it as expected, but when I put username of the user I created, it gives me the same error, and I could not see any of these spaces.

What else should be granted for user in order to work with IMAP ?

Thank you once more for your assistance,

Best,
Zoran Kuret

Hello,

Still researching this issue and could not find any solution.

When I add user into the 'Administrator' group everything works just fine, IMAP folders can be read and all messages as well.

But this is not what I want, of course, the question is what should be done for ordinary users, not the administrator, so that they can login to IMAP server.

It has to do something with privileges, that is for sure

Any ideas ?

Best,
Zoran

Hi all…
After a month of work on LDAP ( :evil: ) I found the solution!!!!!
Even if you don't share nothing in the "Sites" space you HAVE to grant consumer permission to that space for all users that have to use IMAP!!!
This because I think that alfresco check if there are some starred sites and if you don't have the permission, all other spaces won't be connected!!!

I hope to be useful…

Bye,
Oddo.
