News and Announcements / eBox Online Store is now open!
« on: February 22, 2010, 05:21:09 pm »
Dear eBox users,
We're glad to let you know that eBox Technologies announced today the launch of an online store aimed at eBox Platform end users. The eBox Online Store - available at https://store.ebox-technologies.com - provides a channel to acquire a number of eBox based subscription services such as VoIP credit or backup storage space, support services or official eBox documentation.
As you know, the recently launched version 1.4 of eBox Platform integrated - for the first time - SaaS options such as remote backup and low-cost VoIP calls aimed directly to the eBox end users. The eBox Online Store now enables the purchase of off-site storage space and VoIP credit that the eBox end users can use through the eBox Platform user interface.
Other services that are now available for purchase include eBox Control Center Subscriptions to manage and monitor multiple eBox servers and support services such as One-time eBox Support, aimed at those customers that occasionally have a need for technical support and eBox Migration Support, to guarantee successful migrations from eBox 1.2 to eBox 1.4. In addition, end users can now purchase official eBox documentation from the online store - to begin with, the official eBox for Network Administrators Guide in Spanish (for eBox Platform 1.4).
If you are a professional eBox Platform user or want to know more about the additional services that will soon be available, maybe you are interested in reading the full story.

Installation and Upgrades / WAN-eBox-server-Switch or WAN-Switch-eBox?

Good day!
We got the following question from Drew - I wonder if you could help him out & share the answer with everybody else interested? I'll redirect him here! Thank you again
! Best, Heidi
Hey,
With eBox Gateway do both modems need to be plugged into their own LAN ports on the eBox server(eg: WAN>eBox server>Switch), or can it go from a switch to the eBox server(WAN>Switch>eBox)? Is this the same with VM's?
Also are these(eBox Gateway) all part of the single eBox Platform? (eg: is the eBox Gateway/Infrastructure) just a service on an eBox server?

« on: January 01, 2010, 11:59:51 pm »
Hola! Hemos recibido el siguiente mensaje de Carlos - le redirigiré aquí al foro para aclaraciones adicionales y para compartir la respuesta con los demás personas que puedan estar interesados en los mismos temas. Un saludo! Heidi
Hola, ¿eBox soporta video conferencia?, veo que trabaja con ekiga, pero no he visto documentacion acerca de video conferencia o de multi video conferencia.
P.d: He estado estado probando la version 1.2.2 y de rato en rato se muestra la pagina de administración como una página sin diseño gráfico, solo texto y sin colores y cuando doy click en algún link, no muestra ninguna página y sale un error del navegador, "se ha agotado el tiempo", voy a descargar la version 1.2.6, por favor confirmenme si este problema ya no se presenta en esta nueva versión.

Good morning !
Just received the following message from Anderson. I wonder if you could give him a hand while I re-direct him to the Forum? Thank you in advance! BR, Heidi
Message: // LDAP password config
$rcmail_config['passwd_min_length'] = -1;
$rcmail_config['passwd_max_length'] = -1;
$rcmail_config['ldap_passwd_server_addr'] = "127.0.0.1";
$rcmail_config['ldap_passwd_server_port'] = "389";

News and Announcements / eBox testing environment ANSTE one of O'Reilly's Beautiful Testing essays
« on: October 28, 2009, 08:59:22 am »
We're proud to announce that an essay regarding the Advanced Network Service Testing Environment (ANSTE) that was developed in order to carry out eBox Platform testing has been included in O'Reilly's Beautiful Testing book that is to be published on the 30th of October. Beautiful Testing, edited by Tim Riley and Adam Goucher, offers 23 essays from 27 leading testers and developers that illustrate the qualities and techniques that make testing an art.
"eBox Platform is a complex tool that integrates a number of independent network services, released as a set of independent modules that need to be thoroughly tested to prevent regressions and to verify the correct functioning of each feature" said Isaac Clerencia, author of the "Testing Network Services in Multimachine Scenarios" essay and developer at eBox Technologies. "After a year or so since we started developing eBox Platform, getting a new release out had become a struggle due to the lengthy testing and quality assurance process. What is more, these tasks had quickly become the most dreaded ones among eBox developers and we figured out that something had to be done."
"As we couldn't find an existing testing tool that would suit our needs, we ended developing our own open source testing suite" said José Antonio Calvo, ANSTE developer and developer at eBox Technologies, and continued "the result was ANSTE that allows you to easily define complex network scenarios with multiple virtual machines, to run or to remotely schedule the tests according to pre-defined test suites that include command-based and Selenium-based tests and finally obtain a full report that is made available through a web interface."
"We think ANSTE is a beautiful network service testing solution that can help in the testing process of any software that involves several machines connected to a network" said Isaac Clerencia. "ANSTE has already been successfully used to test MySQL clusters and we think it could also be useful for other projects, such as XMMP or Squid, for example. We are extremely glad for being included in the Beautiful Testing to give more visibility to the project for a good cause."

News and Announcements / New screencast on how to set up a VPN with eBox Platform
« on: October 15, 2009, 02:04:48 pm »
We're glad to announce that we've put together a screencast on how to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) with eBox Platform. The screencast shows step-by-step how to create and configure a Certification Authority (CA), user certificates, a VPN server and the clients with eBox.
Together with the official documentation regarding VPN set up you should be able to allow secure access to the corporate network to remote users and secure interconnection of geographically distant networks.
You can also find interesting the screencast on Basic Network Configuration or if you are a professional eBox user, the screencast on eBox Control Center.
You can view the screencasts also at YouTube:

Installation and Upgrades / EBOX v1.2-1 installation on i386 / perimeter firewall/router failed
« on: October 12, 2009, 11:03:14 pm »
Hi! We just received the following message: I'd appreciate if you could give him a hand! Thank you in advance! Best, Heidi
Dear sir, dear madam,
unfortunately our recent endeavours in installing eBox v1.2-1 on an i386 platform as a perimeter firewall/router failed.
Right now e run a GNU/Linux HPC with Ubuntu Server 8.04 SE (security enhanced) and Xubuntu 8.04 SE on our clients. As a logical step we wanted to introduce eBox v1.2-1 on two legacy platforms to provide us with a web proxy, DNS and NTP fallback server and ipfilter.
We finally managed to get around the PAE and CMOV errors by installing "linux-i386" packages. Nevertheless the system does not operate correctly since the recent installation probably broke some dependencies. On system startup we face an error whilst reading from disc drive (CDROM) and the web interface cannot be reached too.
It seems like we have to double check the installation or start over with a distribution like IPCop, monowall, eisfair/eis4l or Zeroshell. In case you can assist us in fixing our routers/firewalls we'd appreciate that much.

Installation and Upgrades / How to load and save the userprofile on the LDAP server?

Hi! We just received the following question from Sijbren. I'd appreciate if you could help him out: I'll re-direct him to the Forum! Thank you in advance, once again ! Heidi
Hello,
I'm currently working on an LDAP server with Ebox software. For the clients i use ebox-desktop.
Now i'm running into the following problem:
When i login on my client pc it works perfectly, it creates a directory at /home/samba/users/
But this is quite annoying because when i logon on another client pc it creates a new account for me, and i would like my files to be synced from the last logout.
So my question is how do make it possible to load and save the userprofile on the ldap server so that i can use that profile on every computer?
I hope i described the problem good enough.
Thanx in advance.

Hi! We just got this question from Louis. I'll re-direct him here: could you please shed some light on the issue? Thanks ! Heidi
Two questions before I deploy ebox as a domain controler for 250 users.
1) Can EBOX act as a backup domian controler.
2) If so do I have to copy the smbpasswd file manualy or ebox takes care of replication.
