T'Krin's Realm

Good little link. Not much I need to add…

1 – Install poppassd as described in this write up at

.

2 – Download and install passwd from Horde’s website, http://www.horde.org/passwd/.

3 – Edit passwd/config/backends.php to be as follows:

< ?php
$backends['poppassd'] = array(
'name' => 'mail.crownservices.com',
'preferred' => '',
'password policy' => array(),
'driver' => 'poppassd',
'params' => array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 106
)
);


4 – Login as a Horde admin and go into Administrator -> Setup -> Password (passwd) to complete the setup and generate a conf.php file.

I did a lot of searching for this and finally came up with this solution based on a couple of different ones that I found. These changes will automatically fill in the domain portion of the e-mail address in the Default Identity and lock it down so users can not change their e-mail address on the server.

1 – Edit config/hooks.php and add the following hook:

if (!function_exists('_prefs_hook_from_addr')) {
function _prefs_hook_from_addr($user = null)
{
if (is_null($user)) {
$user = Auth::getAuth();
}
if (!empty($user)) {
$user = Auth::getAuth();
$mail = "$user" . "@example.com";
return (empty($mail) ? '' : $mail);
}
return '';
}
}

2 – Edit config/prefs.php and change

$_prefs['from_addr'] = array(
'value' => '',
'locked' => true,
'shared' => true,
'type' => 'text',
'desc' => _("Your From: address:")


to

$_prefs['from_addr'] = array(
'value' => '',
'locked' => true,
'hook' => true,
'shared' => true,
'type' => 'text',
'desc' => _("Your From: address:")
);

The Energy Star site, http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls_mercury, contains useful information, especially what to do in the event you break one!

I’ve been a long time VMware user, and will continue to be, but, VirtualBox is certainly a viable option for those looking for a virtualization solution. Check it out. I’m not going to write up a review, as plenty already have.

Enjoy! www.virtualbox.org
