swa and sac

[s1tka]

Installed a fresh install of scalix 11 ga.

I'm only able to logon the swa via http://www.mydomain.com/webmail.
When I try http://www.mydomain.com it takes me to centos's apache2 welcome page.

When I try to login the sac it shows up but the password doesn't seem to work.
Username and password works for the swa in the http://www.mydomain.com/webmail.


Any help and/or tips is appreciated.

changing the password didn't help logging in the sac

Hi,
It might be possible that password is locked, pre-expired or the account may be lock.
You can verify this from "omshowu -n sxadmin" command. The below command's will help you in retrieving the password and account .

1) ommodu sxadmin --unlock-password (Unlock Password)
2) ommodu -E sxadmin (Unexpired the password)
3) ommodu sxadmin -k (Unlock account)

If you need more help try man pages of ommodu.
Below link might be helpful

well, when I checked the account the sxadmin looked ok.
I just tried sxadmin as the login and it worked.

I was trying sxadmin-mail@mydomain.com. That's what I had to do
in version 10.

Even the message at the login says to use the whole address as the login
name.

Can't believe it is so obvious of a fix ... it kept me out anyhow

Well, the message in the screen says that it "may" contain the domain name - which is somewhat useful in a multi-server install. The installer will create the user as you assign it's name during installation, however the default has changed. With Scalix 11, it is "sxadmin" only, with Scalix 10 it used to be sxadmin@fqdn.host.name....

I'm only able to logon the swa via http://www.mydomain.com/webmail.
When I try http://www.mydomain.com it takes me to centos's apache2 welcome page.

To fix this, make the file /var/www/html/index.html

Inside that file, have this, and only this line:

Code: Select all

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=/webmail/">

This will redirect any http or https requests from www.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/webmail automatically.

Simple, and there are countless other ways to do it, but this is the way I do it, and it's transparent to the end user.
