++ Horde

+++ A Webmail-only installation without featuring the Horde portal

Of course, you will have to let Imp handle the authentication:

  • In the Administration/Setup menu, choose the //Horde (horde)// application, then the //Authentication// tab.

The Horde administrators will need Horde's //Administrator// menu, so you will need a user group to grant them particular permissions:

  • In the Administration/Setup menu, add a new group, say //Administrators//.

  • Add all Horde administrators to that group.

Now you are ready to set the permissions, so ordinary users won't see the Horde portal:

  • In the Administration/Permissions menu, add the new permission: //Horde (horde)//.

  • Edit the //Horde (horde)// entry to grant the following permissions:

  • To all authenticated users: Read, Edit, Delete. (This will remove the Horde entry in the top menu and the entire sidebar menu, leaving more room for the Webmail display.)

  • To the //Administrators// group: Show, Read, Edit, Delete. (This will retain the Sidebar menu and the Horde entry in the top menu.)

Instruct your users on how to set Horde's //Global Options//, particularly the preferred language:

  • In top bar of the //Options// submenu, in the //Edit options for// field, choose the //Global Options// application,

  • then, if necessary, klick on the //Go// button, nearby.

  • Note: In German, this bit is particularly confusing, as both Horde's //Global Options//, and Imp's //General Options// are termed alike, viz. //Allgemeine Einstellungen//.

  • Note: Alternatively, you could try to include Horde's //Global Options// with Imp's option menu, by modifying {{imp/config/prefs.php}}, but that is beyond the scope of this advice.


++ Hermes

To allow authenticated users to see the time tracking module you must give at least Show and Read permissions to the "hermes" application

  • Choose Administration --> Permissions

  • Click on the All Permissions "keys" icon

  • When the "Add a child Permission" pane appears, choose the Hermes module

  • Click the Add button

  • Click the "notepad" icon to edit the permissions for Hermes

  • On the default permissions tab, check Show and Read

To allow a user to be able to Review time from other users you must make changes to the hermes permissions. Here are the steps:

  • Choose Administration --> Permissions

  • If the Hermes permissions are not yet set, follow the steps above.

  • Click on the Hermes "keys" icon

  • When the "Add a child Permission pane appears, choose the Time Review module

  • Click on the Permissions tab for the user or group that you want check, Show


++ Turba

+++ A read-only LDAP address book

To allow authenticated users to search the addressbook of your organization (provided it is kept on an LDAP server), and to use the e-mail addresses contained therein to compose messages:

  1. Define, in turba/config/sources.php, that addressbook, using {{sizelimit}}, {{export}}, and {{browse}} to prevent large-scale address copying, e. g.:

/** Central E-Mail Directory (read-only) **/

$cfgSources['localldap'] = array('title' => _("E-Mail directory Example Ltd."),

                             'type' => 'ldap',

                             'params' => array('server'    => 'ldap.example.com',

                                               'port'      => '389',

                                               'tls'       => false,

                                               'root'      => 'ou=people,o=Example Ltd.,c=com',

                                               'charset'   => 'utf-8',

                                               'sizelimit' => 200,

                                               'scope'     => 'one',

                                               'version'   => 3),

                             'map'    => array('__key'     => 'dn',

                                               'name'      => 'cn',

                                               'email'     => 'mail'),

                             'search' => array('name', 'email'),

                             'strict' => array('dn'),

                             'export' => false,

                             'browse' => false);
  1. Login to Horde as an administrator, then select the Administration/Permissions menu.

Under //All Permissions//, add new permission //Address Book (turba)//

Under //Address Book (turba)//, add new permission //Sources (sources)//

Under //Sources (sources)//, add new permission //E-Mail directory Example Ltd. (localldap)//

Edit the added permissions to grant all authenticated users the following rights:

  • //Address Book (turba):// Show, Read, Edit, Delete (This will provide access to turba via the menus.)

  • //Sources (sources):// Show, Read, Edit, Delete

  • //E-Mail directory Example Ltd. (localldap):// Show, Read (This will hide, in the several menus, all editing operations that would otherwise cause weird error messages.)
