How to install SOGo on CentOS 6 with iRedMail (MySQL backend)

Requirements

• A working iRedMail server on CentOS 6.

Install SOGo

• Make sure you have EPEL repo enabled, if not, please follow this wiki tutorial to enable it.

# yum repolist | grep -i 'epel'
epel              Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64          11,109

• Add yum repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/sogo.repo:

[SOGo]
name=Inverse SOGo Repository
baseurl=http://inverse.ca/downloads/SOGo/RHEL6/$basearch
gpgcheck=0

• Install SOGo and dependences:

# yum install sogo sope49-gdl1-mysql

Create SQL database to store SOGo data

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE sogo CHARSET='UTF8';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON sogo.* TO sogo@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

-- TODO
mysql> GRANT SELECT ON vmail.mailbox TO sogo@localhost;

mysql> CREATE VIEW sogo.sogo_auth (c_uid, c_name, c_password, c_cn, mail, home) AS SELECT username, username, password, name, username, maildir FROM vmail.mailbox;

Configure SOGo

Default SOGo config file is /etc/sogo/sogo.conf:

    SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_user_profile";
    OCSFolderInfoURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_folder_info";
    OCSSessionsFolderURL = "mysql://sogo:password@localhost:3306/sogo/sogo_sessions_folder";

    SOGoIMAPServer = "127.0.0.1";

    SOGoMailingMechanism = smtp;
    SOGoSMTPServer = 127.0.0.1;


    // Enable managesieve service
    SOGoSieveServer = sieve://127.0.0.1:4190;
    SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES;

    SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail = YES;
    SOGoAppointmentSendEMailNotifications = YES;

  SOGoUserSources =
    (
      {
        type = sql;
        id = directory;
        viewURL = "mysql://sogo:password@127.0.0.1:3306/sogo/sogo_view";
        canAuthenticate = YES;
        isAddressBook = YES;
        userPasswordAlgorithm = md5;
        prependPasswordScheme = YES;
        //LoginFieldNames = username;
        //MailFieldNames = username;
