cyrus.suite.wiki
cyrus.suite.wiki is a shared development and testing server. Once the testing period is over, the server will be deleted so don't store any real data on this server. If you would like server access, please contact Marc Laporte
Urls
You can replace test with your login and follow the pattern below
User management
https://cyrus.suite.wiki:81/app/users (you need root access). And users need to login via IMAP for their account to be properly set up.
CalDAV
https://cyrus.suite.wiki/dav/calendars/user/test
CardDAV
https://cyrus.suite.wiki/dav/addressbooks/user/test/
RSS

Notes for future documentation page
How to install
- Set up MX records
- install the eGloo release package: rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.egloo.ca/egloo/clearos/7.3/stable/x86_64/egloo-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
- This will be simpler in the future
- Then install the IMAP and SMTP apps: Copy to clipboardyum --enablerepo=egloo-clearos-devel install app-imap app-smtp
- You will also need to do the following:
- Create the default SSL certificate via the “System - Settings - Certificate Manager” app.
- Create a user with IMAP and SMTP enabled.
- Login via an IMAP client in order to create a mailbox for the user.
Optional: How to install Mail Forwarding on ClearOS
How to use
- The extra features (CalDAV, CardDAV and JMAP) run on port 80 and/or 443, so Cyrus IMAP interferes with web server. On this dev server, we use port 8080 for the JMAP client
- See URLs patterns above
Clients tested
DAVdroid
Automatic detection from email doesn't work but entering username, password and base URL works
Questions
- Is it possible to have a logout feature? (which would make it easier to test with different accounts)
Known bugs / limitations
Accounts created in ClearOS are not reliably setup for CalDAV and CardDAV.

- Cyrus release process - switching to odd-even release cycle: "3.1.x releases will only ever be snapshots of the master branch, and should be considered for testing purposes and bleeding-edge features only. We will try to release these snapshots at coherent development points, but there will generally be large breaking changes occurring between releases in this series. At some point in the distant future, the next stable release series will be 3.2, which will aim to include the stabilised versions of the features developed/tested in the 3.1 releases."
