Please confirm with `y` when Composer asks you whether you want to enable the plugin in the Roundcube configuration. Alternatively, add `identity_from_directory` to Roundcube's `$config['plugins']` array by hand. You can now [configure](#configuration) the plugin. ### Installation from release tarball [](#installation-from-release-tarball) Download the latest [`identity_from_directory-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz` tarball](https://github.com/foundata/roundcube-plugin-identity-from-directory/releases) (do not use the "Source code" archives Github creates automatically for each release). Extract it into `plugins/`, all files have to be in `plugins/identity_from_directory/` afterwards. Useful snippet if you have got a shell available on your target server: ``` # set Rouncube's installation path, adapt if needed roundcube_install_dir="/var/lib/roundcube" # get version number of the latest release version="$(curl -s -L https://api.github.com/repos/foundata/roundcube-plugin-identity-from-directory/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name' | sed -e 's/^v//g')" printf '%s\n' "${version}" # download curl -L "https://github.com/foundata/roundcube-plugin-identity-from-directory/releases/download/v${version}/identity_from_directory-v${version}.tar.gz" \ > "/tmp/identity_from_directory.tar.gz" # extract and cleanup cd "${roundcube_install_dir}/plugins" && tar -xzvf "/tmp/identity_from_directory.tar.gz" && rm "/tmp/identity_from_directory.tar.gz" ``` [Configure](#configuration) the plugin and add `identity_from_directory` to Roundcube's `$config['plugins']` array to enable it. Updating -------- [](#updating) ### Update using Composer [](#update-using-composer) The following command updates the [plugin package](https://packagist.org/packages/foundata/identity_from_directory) via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/): ``` php composer.phar update --no-dev -o "foundata/identity_from_directory:*"` ``` ### Update from release tarball [](#update-from-release-tarball) Updating is as simple as overwriting the existing files. Just follow the [installation instructions](#installation) again to get the newest release. This should be a low-risk operation as there are no database schema changes performed by this plugin and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). The [changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) will inform you of any manual actions required during an upgrade, typically only necessary for major version increments. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) - Copy the template [`config.inc.php.dist`](./config.inc.php.dist) to `config.inc.php` (Composer may already have done this for you) - Now edit `plugins/identity_from_directory/config.inc.php` as you need. The [inline comments](./config.inc.php.dist) describe every config value in detail. Some additional notes: - All **plugin actions are only triggered during a user's login**. So logout and login again to test a new configuration. - This plugin is technically **compatible with all values of Roundcube's `$config['identities_level']`** config option. However, a value of `1` (user can edit all params but not the email address as well as add or delete identities in the UI) or `3` (user can edit all params but not the email address and cannot add or delete identities in the UI) makes most sense. - Set `$config['identity_from_directory_deleteunmanaged'] = true` if you want to **delete propably unwanted identities automatically**. - Set `$config['identity_from_directory_handle_proxyaddresses'] = true` to **support searching for alias addresses in Active Directory's `proxyAddresses` field**. It may contain a CSV string like `smtp:foo@exmaple.com,smtp:bar@example.net`. Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) - Roundcube 1.6 or higher. - PHP 7.4 or higher. - No special database requirements. This plugin does not adapt the database schema and is using Roundcube's built-in actions and hooks to handle the identity data. The plugin may work with older versions then listed above, but this is not tested nor supported. We recommend using the latest stable Roundcube version and PHP 8.x, which the plugin is most tested with.
