Changelog#
This changelog documents all notable changes to the OX Connector app. Keep a Changelog is the format and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
2.2.13#
Released: 17. Sep 2024
Changed#
When changing an OX user in UDM, the OX attribute default_sender_address was left untouched. That is because it is a user preference, not “core data”. Now, if an OX user is changed in UDM so that the primaryMailAddress changes and this has been the user’s default_sender_address, it is overwritten to the new mail address - as this makes sense in next to all scenarios and would be considered an error if not done automatically.
2.2.12#
Released: 28. Aug 2024
Changed#
You can now add LDAP containers to the list of default containers for functional accounts and select the container before creating a new functional account in UMC, see the Functional accounts for more information.
2.2.11#
Released: 23. May 2024
Changed#
Fixes a bug which prevents the removal of Open-Xchange contexts.
2.2.10#
Released: 26. April 2024
Changed#
The performance of the OX Connector has been improved.
2.2.9#
Released: 12. April 2024
Added#
It’s now possible to change the attribute mapping between Open-Xchange and UCS through the script change_attribute_mapping.py. For more information, see User attribute mapping.
2.2.8#
Released: 16. January 2024
Changed#
The meta.db also stores the error message and the filename that causes the error.
Added#
The script get_current_error.py outputs a json with the contents of the meta.db. This json can be used to automate the app health checks.
The app settings OX_USER_IDENTIFIER and OX_GROUP_IDENTIFIER have been added. They give control over which UDM property is used as the unique identifier for users and groups in OX.
The script check_sync_status.py has been added. It can be used to identify data inconsistencies between UDM, OX and the listener files.
2.2.7#
Released: 7. September 2023
Changed#
Allow any string in OX_FUNCTIONAL_ACCOUNT_LOGIN_TEMPLATE app setting to simplify SSO configurations.
Fixed#
Fix OX_FUNCTIONAL_ACCOUNT_LOGIN_TEMPLATE empty app setting handling (Bug #56523).
Fix error in context change when modifying the context and the username in the same operation (Bug #56525).
2.2.6#
Released: 18. August 2023
Changed#
The Functional Account login field is now configurable via the app setting OX_FUNCTIONAL_ACCOUNT_LOGIN_TEMPLATE.
2.2.5#
Released: 16. August 2023
Changed#
User context change uses the UserCopy service.
2.2.4#
Released: 13. July 2023
Changed#
The imaplogin field is now configurable via the app setting OX_IMAP_LOGIN.
2.2.3#
Released: 27. June 2023
Fixed#
Corrected a typo in the listener_trigger script.
2.2.2#
Released: 22. June 2023
Fixed#
The OX-Connector now prevents a scenario in which values set by users in the App Suite app were overwritten in a wrong way.
2.2.1#
Released: 07. June 2023
Changed#
The OX-Context of a group is no longer modifiable in the groups module of UMC since the OX-Context of a group is always derived from the OX-Contexts of its users.
2.2.0#
Released: 01. June 2023
Changed#
Removed use of old oxDrive and oxAccessUSM UDM properties. The OX Connector only uses the oxmail/accessprofile objects to control access rights.
The OX Connector does not require the oxDisplayName to be unique anymore.
The OX connector only sets a user’s default_sender_address, language, and timezone when initially creating a user. Afterwards, any user can configure their settings in the OX App suite front-end.
The OX connector can handle user files in listener/old/ without the oxContext attribute.
Deprecated#
oxTimeZone and oxLanguage still exist as UDM attributes. But they are not evaluated anymore (see above in Changed; the Connector sets these attributes to the value set in the App Settings instead).
oxDisplayName still exists and is evaluated. At some later version, we will use the original displayName of a user.
2.1.4#
Released: 31. May 2023
This version has been revoked
2.1.3#
Released: 21. April 2023
Fixed#
Changes to the oxAccessUSM attribute are now considered by the provisioning logic.
Changed#
Added helper script to remove old listener files from users with empty oxContextIDNum attribute.
Removed bindpwd uses from createextattr.py script (#55985).
2.1.2#
Released: 4. April 2023
Changed#
Changes in inst script for compatibility with App Center’s OX App Suite.
2.1.1#
Released: 9. December 2022
Fixed#
Fixed bug that prevented users from creating OX users from UMC.
2.1.0#
Released: 14. November 2022
Fixed#
Remove the use of unnecessary gid_ox syntax for OX group names. All valid group names in UCS are now accepted in OX.
Avoid unnecessary group change` operation that can fail in large groups and lead to an infinite loop where the ox-connector tries to delete an already deleted user.
Change oxcontext contextid syntax from string to integer.
Changed#
Refactor of internal project structure.
Update of scripts and internal files.
Added#
Prepare support for Univention OX App suite.
2.0.1#
Released: 9. September 2022
Fixed#
Avoid unnecessary look-ups in the OX database when syncing groups: Users that appear to not be present in the database will be treated as such instead of double checking.
Avoid 500 log messages in OX by guarding user look-ups by an exists call.
2.0.0#
Released: 26. April 2022
Added#
With OX App Suite 7.10.6 Open-Xchange added Functional Mailboxes to OX App Suite, see OX App Suite - Minor Release v7.10.6 - Feature Overview [7]. OX App Suite shares functional mailboxes among other users in the same context.
For more information, see Functional accounts.
1.1.0#
Added#
OX App Suite knows access and can grant them individually to users. The
OX Connector app supports access profiles through the file
ModuleAccessDefinitions.propertiers
.
The connector generates the file locally on the UCS system each time an
administrator modifies objects in the UDM module oxmail/accessprofile
. It
doesn’t provision the data to OX App Suite directly. The connector uses the
access profiles and sets the attribute oxAccess
during provisioning.
For limitations, see No plausibility validation in access profile rights.
