Did a reinstall accepting all the defaults and problem is gone away.
There must have been something in the values I used where I changed from the defaults that it did not like.

It is good to hear of a positive experience.  It seem as if the mail side is robust from your experience.The sogo,samba and openchange bits are the areas where I seem to hit most trouble.

I wonder has anyone succeeded in setting up a stable and working instance of Zentyal community/development version as an Exchange replacement?
I am thinking of an example that might have say 10 users with mail, contacts and calenders that is working reliably.
I would like to think that is is possible.  Looking through your previous posts it is  obvious that you have a lot of knowledge and that you have gone to considerable effort  to understand Zentyal.   I would think that if you are having difficultries implementing it,  then most will struggle to get Zentyal (community/development edition) working in a production environment.  If you are using the Commercial Edition and experiencing the problems you mention then there is a bigger problem. :)

I have just rebooted the new install and the error is back!!
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

Thanks for your response and help, which I appreciate.
Yes, I am putting them into the Trusted Root CA, using certmgr.msc .
However, I was running it in Virtualbox and Zentyal kept freezing so I made a new direct standard  install on a stand alone server.  I used all the same settings (as I had written them down),  I deleted the old certs in windows, reinstalled the certs from the new install and believe it or not Outlook will not connect again!!

I have not applied all the updates, as on my last install, when I did, SoGo stopped working on port 443.
See post
https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,27346.0.html

You mention that "we are beta testing new, cutting or bleeding edge solutions for Zentyal they are letting us use a fully functional, super solid server product "
I am not sure if beta versions and super solid go together :)
While we must be grateful for anything that is given to us at no cost, It would be nice if, like other opensource projects, Zentyal gave the Community open access to the stable repositories as opposed to the testing ones.  Is 4.1 considered stable or is it only the repositories that the commercially supported version of Zentyal use that are stable?

Meanwhile  Outlook tells me "The name cannot be resolved, The connection to MS Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
Also I can't figure that if you have "autodiscover" , you must turn it off to discover the server.  Its a little counterintuitive :)

I have just reinstalled but have not updated any software and the sogo interface on 443 works fine.
I wonder which of the "upgrades" breaks the system??

Hi, I have done a fresh install of 4.2 and applied all updates.
When I try to connect to webmail on https://localhost/webmail I get the following error:

"An error occurred during a connection to localhost. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) "

As far as I recall it was working before I applied the updates.

Anyone else having this problem any any suggestions for a solution?
I have tried different browsers.

It seems that ssl is not properly set up for port 443.  It is working fine on 8443.
nmap shows port 443 open.

I tried as you suggested but still had a problem with certificates.  I reinstalled using the suggested settings in this thread:
https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,26714.0.html

Here is what I entered in the setup:

Hostname:
mail

Domain:
lan.mydomain.com

Mail Domain:
mydomain.com
(NB by default the installer wants this to be "lan.mydomain.com" and you have to change this)

First Organisation:
MyOrganisation


I downloaded the CA cert for the server and the cert for the mail domain and installed them on windows.

I then followed your advise re autodiscover and dns.

The connection did not happen automatically.  I had to go into advanced settings in mail on windows and tick always prompt for login.
After logging in it found the user and set up outlook after that.

Installation and Upgrades / Apt-check using 100% cpu
« on: January 27, 2016, 11:59:20 pm »
I am running Zentyal as a virtual machine on a fairly low spec. box
Running top, I notice that apt-check hogs a huge amount of cpu and seems to be running almost permanently.
I am not sure what calls it as I have disabled auto check for updates in the GUI.
It seems to be a cause of a very slow web interface.

Can I disable apt-check and if so how and will it cause any problems if it is disabled?
I know it is a link to a Python script.  Could I just chmod it to non executable?

Thanks so much for your reply and sorry for not responding sooner.  I was away for the week end and away from wifi and computers.
I will try as you suggest, later on today and report back.
Thanks,

I have crt files installed in Windows for myrealdomain.com  zentyal-domain.lan  and the Zentyal CA cert.
Windows does not accept the pem files.
Do they need to be installed and if so how?

When I try to set up an email account in outlook using  user@myrealdomain.com it complains that the cert has a name mismatch.
When I check the name on the cert it says that it is zentyal-domain.lan which clearly does not match myrealdomain.com.

Is there any simple guide that explains  how to set up Zentyal with a local domain and an internet domain and how to install the necessary certs on windows to enable outlook to connect with an Internet email domain?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I think it must relate to installing the correct certs in Windows.  Zentyal generates 4 files in the downloaded zip.  Is there any clear guide as to which file/files should be used and how  is/(are they) installed?

Hi,
I have just done a fresh reinstall of 4.2 Development Edition
I called my server "mail" and accepted all other defaults  i.e
domain zentyal-domain.lan etc

After the install I created a virtual email domain called myrealdomain.com ( using my actual registered domain name)
Created cert for that domain
Added some uses with emails at the domain.
Added  mail.myrealdomain.com  and myrealdomain.com   to DNS
Ticked all boxes in openchange for both zentyal-domain.lan and myrealdomain.com
Downloaded Certs for both domains and added to windows 7 .  They are both listed in the Trusted Root Certification Authority.
Windows 7 uses the Zentyal Server to resolve dns

When I try to set up an Outlook connection I get the error "An encrypted connection to you server is not available.

Where am I going wrong??

What exactly should I type into outloook when tring to set up the mail?
All the docs use "zentyal-domain.lan for the email address.  I am trying to use a real email address  i.e user @ myrealdomain.com
Any logs I can look in to see what is happening.
Several previous similar installs using 4.0 worked.
Is 4.2 broken?

If it is OK I will start a new thread for my problem as it is somewhat off topic for this thread.

Yes, I have tried that.
I have just done a complete reinstall.
Called my server "mail" accepted all other defaults  i.e
domain zentyal-domain.lan etc

After the install i created a virtual email domain called myrealdomain.com ( using my actual registered domain name)
Created cert for the domain
Added some uses with emails at the domain.
Added  mail.myrealdomain.com  and myrealdomain.com   to DNS
Ticked all boxes in openchange for both zentyal-domain.lan and myrealdomain.com
Downloaded Certs for both domains and added to windows 7 .  They are both listed in the Trusted Root Certification Authority.
Windows 7 uses the Zentyal to resolve dns

When I try to set up an Outlook connection I get the error "An encrypted connection to you server is not available.

Where am I going wrong??
