Installation and Upgrades / Re: Getting an SSL certificate
« on: March 14, 2013, 06:10:01 pm »
@christian, from the topic start, he note that he is primairy using it as mail-server and the question seams to only apply to winmail thats why i linked in the first place, in more 'dificult' situations i agree, that trusting zentyal as a root ca is a better option, specially if there is a way to automate it (for example with an installer package)...
if i remember correctly there was a verry good howto on this forum somewhere that made exporting CSR's a breeze and importing even more easy. but as we stand its not yet clear what is gooing to happen with development and we are not yet sure if there will be effort to patch the current code base to support a small guy to make this a 3 click deal... even if its managed per server it can stil be really easy. sadly enought the current implementation of trusted keys, is not a hiërarchie like for example DNS, witch makes SLL secured-service not-so-trivial

http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,6108.msg24821/topicseen.html#msg24821 looks like there is already an example on how to import signed keys... if you search the forum a bit longer there are some other posts explaining how... and startsll is even providing free (email only validated) signed keys.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Valid SSL certificate on Zentyal
« on: March 02, 2013, 12:08:25 am »
there are a lot of things here that you want to take into considerations,
for example some modern browser dont even trust startls anymore because its certs are not considered save... at the same time the bigger issue is that certs are usually not wildcarded so importing 1 cert for all related services is not as easy as it looks...
if your network is a bring your own device, and it is not an office space, you could manually add external trsted cert files for eatch service... but if its a company lan... i would instead make sure that your onsite system admin helps people to trust your root ca... this is a bit more work for him but also directly helps him adress saftly issues because he can not also check for anti-vir software befor he allows the device on your lan..
the easies way (if not joining a domain) would be to create an software installer package) what will add your root-ca to the system.. specially in windows there are in MSI packages ways to do this...

Installation and Upgrades / Re: [Solved] New install on large drives with ZFS
« on: February 15, 2013, 10:57:46 pm »
im not happy to say 'told you so' because having a verry realiable software reduncancy is absolutely preferably (for me) than any hardware raid controller...
its true that hardware raid 'can' (not is) be much more performant... but in trueth at the same time it can also be a single point of failure because when the hardware brakes (so your controller card) ... you have to replace it, it there is no replacement (like with older models) you are F*d. where as with software implements... there is always hardware that can replace your system and you can always tweak the software.
for me zentyal really lacks decent storage management, both in terms of volume management, adding removing / re-allocating storrage, as well as managing / checking testing and reporting it...
being able to manage lvm volumes growing ans srinking them, would help... also changing locations where data is stored would help for replication, as well as for example iscsi targeting for file-storage-clustering... zentyal would be great if for example it would be backed by freenas over iscsi.
specially because freenas DOES support zfs natively

3things,
1 zfs on zentyal is highly experimental..
2 zentyal is not an operating system so it doesn't either or not support zfs unless ubuntu supports it...
so 3 if you want support for ubuntu and zelfs your best guess would by on either the zfsonlinux website (and support channels) or on the #ubuntu-server support channel..
once and only once you have setup your filesystems propperly and are able to manage them zentyal come's in to play...

is this on a per user basis or did you change it for all users?
first guess read up on samba4 wiki's if the features is propperly supported
next try to find out where the value is suposedly stored...

« on: February 11, 2013, 07:26:09 pm »
sure there are issues, as with almost all filesistems once a file is opened by one... it will be locked due to sync issues otherwise.. meaning other people will only be able to open a file with read-only... if this is not desired than you should investigate the need for shared editing mostly part of a document management system / colaboration system.
other than that... logon times with roaming are always slower than non-roaming this is by nature. you can medigate it a little by allowing clients to cash the folders locally but on heavy changes they would still have to sync first ...
what you seam to want is not easily achievable with roaming but might rather be a feature of ltsp... and thin clients..
but than... why would you want to run multiple clients with a single useraccount... its considered mall practice for years and i would strongly advise against it..

give us your hardware, version details and all your settings...
i really feal honored that you apperently think whe are all knowing but sadly that not the case...
also dont forget to mention how your disk is connected...
1 simple gues would be to ~# sudo lsusb

what he probably means is that clients are mounting an smb share to a certain location on OS of the client for example H:\
note that roaming profiles IS possible with linux mounting /home/user to smb://zentyal/user/home for example.
the biggest issue for me would be that this is done via smbfs rather than for example nfs... (nfs is not currently supported by zentyal - not from the box anyway).
if you look in the forums it has allready been described how to do this with ubuntu. for any aditional questions after reading ... you should best comment HERE
