Having trouble with your recently updated Zarafa 7.2 installation? Can’t connect via imap? Seeing something like this in your gateway log?

CreateProfileTemp(): ConfigureMsgService failed 80040115: network error

You already make sure that

* your zarafa-server binds to 0.0.0.0
** server_bind = 0.0.0.0
** server_tcp_enabled = yes
* your gateway points to localhost
** server_socket = http://localhost:237/zarafa

And your config worked just fine before? Still have no idea what’s going on? Well, take a look at lsof -i tcp:236 and notice that you’ll only get TCP *:237 (LISTEN) on IPv4 for the zarafa-server.

Now check your ifconfig lo for inet6 entries:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask>:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

And your /etc/hosts will probably point to this as well:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost

So this is what happens: zarafa-gateway looks up localhost, reads IPv6, tries to connect to ::1 port 237 and gets nothing. Here is your 0x80040115 (MAPI_E_NETWORK_ERROR) network error.

Use server_socket = http://127.0.01:237/zarafa and you’ll be fine.

Well done Zarafa. How about binding to IPv6 as well? Nothing in the manpage on this. Don’t tell me that the server isn’t IPv6 ready while the gateway is.

#80040115

Hint: Do *never* use the UNIX socket as server_socket in the zarafa-gateway config. You may open login to the accounts without valid password if you do so. Check the manual. Seriously.

This is how I import my deadlines for tickets from our Jira bugtracker to our Zarafa ical gateway (running on localhost only but since I’ve a real account I could easily install a crontab for this for my system user).

Notes:

– The script makes use of phyton as well
– The script makes use of the Jira rest api (needs to be enabled)
– The script makes use of the (free) JIRA Calendar Plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.ext.calendar/versions#b20107)
– The script uses a hardcoded filter id 10100. The filter must be created by the Jira user before. In my case it’s simply a filter that returns all projects I’m assigned to.
– The calendar used (e.g. “Jira”) must be manually created by the Zarafa user before and will be overwritten everytime the script runs! (Do not use default calendar)
– Dunno how to check whether ICS file loaded fine so run it manually and check whether new items show up in the calendar 🙂

It can probably easy adapted to other ics servers as well. I run this all 15 minutes during working days making use of crontab.
