### Mail Configuration

#### AuthenticationLogoutListener

In the Mail application of eXo Collaboration, when a user checks messages for one account, the remote mailbox fetch is performed as a background job. Before eXo Collaboration 1.2, the job was continued until all messages had been retrieved or when the user stopped the check through the UI. Hence, even when a user was not logged in, the background job was continued. This can be the resource intensive for the server if many users have large mailboxes. Since eXo Collaboration 1.2, one capability is added to halt the background job when the user session terminates (logout or timeout). It makes eXo Collaboration more friendly with server resources. If you want to activate this feature, you need to add a bunch of the xml congifuration in /extension/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/cs-extension/cs/mail/mail-service-configuration.xml:

    <external-component-plugins>

      <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.listener.ListenerService</target-component>

       <component-plugin>

        <name>exo.core.security.ConversationRegistry.unregister</name>

        <set-method>addListener</set-method>

        <type>org.exoplatform.mail.service.AuthenticationLogoutListener</type>

        <description>description</description>

      </component-plugin>

    </external-component-plugins>

Details:

- Name: `exo.core.security.ConversationRegistry.unregister` - The name of listener.

- Set-method: `addListener` The plugin which registers the method. Keep this value.

- Type: `org.exoplatform.mail.service.AuthenticationLogoutListener` - A class which executes all requirements of the plugin.

- Description: It is a plugin used to stop checking mails of a user when he logs out.

#### MailSettingConfigPlugin

Since eXo Collaboration 2.2.0, MailSettingConfigPlugin is used to define the behavior, for example, showing/hiding fields and checking/unchecking checkboxes, of email account settings in the mail-server-configuration.xml file. It allows administrators to preconfigure all settings and to specify if end-users have the modification right on each specific setting or not.

## Data Injectors

Data injectors are used to create data for performance test. This part will describe which data injectors are implemented in eXo Collaboration and how to use them.

In eXo Collaboration, data injectors are implemented as plug-ins attached to the org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjectorService service and handled via RESTful requests. This service is normally registered to the portal container as a general component.

To use this service, add the following dependency to the Classpath of the server:

    <dependency>

          <groupId>org.exoplatform.commons</groupId>

          <artifactId>exo.platform.commons.component</artifactId>

    </dependency>

To activate the DataInjectorService component, you need to register it to a portal container by the following configuration:

    <component>

        <type>org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjectorService</type>

    </component>

When you want to inject data for a specific product, you must implement a class which extends "org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjector" and register it to the DataInjectorService component as a plug-in.

In eXo Collaboration, there are three plug-ins attached to the DataInjectorService component:

- ContactDataInjector

- CalendarDataInjector

- MailDataInjector

### ContactDataInjector

The ContactDataInjector plug-in is used to manage data injection of the Address Book application.

To use this plug-in, do as follows:

1. Add the following configuration to the configuration.xml file to register the plug-in to the DataInjectorService component:

    <external-component-plugins>

        <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjectorService</target-component>

        <component-plugin>

          <name>ContactDataInjector</name>

          <set-method>addInjector</set-method>

          <type>org.exoplatform.contact.service.bench.ContactDataInjector</type>

          <description>inject data for Contact</description>

          <init-params>

            <value-param>

              <name>mA</name> <!-- maximum number of address books -->

              <value>5</value>

            </value-param>

            <value-param>

              <name>mC</name> <!-- maximum number of contacts per a address books -->

              <value>10</value>

            </value-param>

          </init-params>

        </component-plugin>

    </external-component-plugins>

--- | --- | --- | ---
mA | number | 5 | The maximum number of address books of the Address Book application in each injection.
mC | number | 5 | The maximum number of contacts of an address book in each injection.

2. Execute the injector by the RESTful request as follows:

    http://{domain}/{rest}/bench/inject/ContactDataInjector?mA=5&mC=10

In which:

- {domain}: The domain name of the server.

- {rest}: The name of eXo REST service.

### CalendarDataInjector

The CalendarDataInjector plug-in is used to manage data injection in the Calendar application.

To use this plug-in, do as follows:

1. Add the following configuration to the configuration.xml file to register the plug-in to the DataInjectorService component:

    <external-component-plugins>

        <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjectorService</target-component>

        <component-plugin>

          <name>CalendarDataInjector</name>

          <set-method>addInjector</set-method>

          <type>org.exoplatform.calendar.bench.CalendarDataInjector</type>

          <description>inject data for Calendar</description>

          <init-params>

            <value-param>

              <name>mCt</name> <!-- maximum number of categories -->

              <value>all</value> <!-- string all/public/private -->

            </value-param>

          </init-params>

        </component-plugin>

    </external-component-plugins>

In which:

- Name: `CalendarDataInjector`

- Set-method: `addInjector`

- Type: `org.exoplatform.calendar.bench.CalendarDataInjector`

Parameters | Possible Values | Default Values | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
mCt | number | 5 | The maximum number of categories in each injection.

typeOfInject | String | all | The type of injection, including "public", "private" and "all". If the type is set as "public", only public calendars are created. If the type is set as "private", only personal calendars are create. If the type is set as "all", both the public and private ones are created.

2. Execute the injector by the RESTful request as follows.

    http://{domain}/{rest}/bench/inject/CalendarDataInjector?mCt=5&mEcat=10&mCal=10&mEv=20&mTa=20&typeOfInject=private

### MailDataInjector

The MailDataInjector is used to manage data injection in the Mail application.

Because of the quite complicated architecture of the Mail application in eXo Collaboration, the injector uses a simple mail server (a mock server) to simulate the way a mail server works. This will create real mail data without mocking effort from the injector and create a reliable testing environment.

To use the injector, do as follows:

1. Add the Greenmail library to the classpath of the web server (in tomcat, copy it to the lib folder). The library is Greenmail 1.3.1b but including some bug fixes which are not updated in the counterpart version of Icegreen. (To have the library, contact eXo Support team).

2. Initialize this component as a service of GateIn, then it will be invoked by MailDataInjector.

    <component>

        <type>org.exoplatform.mail.service.bench.SimpleMailServerInitializer</type>

    </component>

3. Register MailDataInjector to DataInjectorService by the following configuration:

    <external-component-plugins>

      <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.bench.DataInjectorService</target-component>

      <component-plugin>

          <name>MailDataInjector</name>

          <set-method>addInjector</set-method>

          <type>org.exoplatform.mail.service.bench.MailDataInjector</type>

          <description>inject data for Contact</description>

        </component-plugin>

    </external-component-plugins>

In which:

- Name: `MailDataInjector`

- Set-method: `addInjector`

- Type: `org.exoplatform.mail.service.bench.MailDataInjector`

### Usage of MailDataInjector

- To insert mail data into the Mail application, the request link is as follows:

     http://{domain}/{rest}/bench/inject/MailDataInjector/?users=mary,root&accounts=2,account&inPro=IMAP&check=true&msgs=100&attSize=100

Params | Values | Description
--- | --- | ---
users | String | The list of users sepereated by commas.
accounts | String | The number of accounts injected by the data injector. This value consists of two parts seperated by commas: the first is the number of accounts of an user, the second is the prefix of the account Id.
inPro | String | The incoming protocol. The possible values are: POP3 and IMAP.
check | Boolean | Specify if checking mails after the data are created on the mail server or not. If the value is true, the injector will execute checking new message tasks sequentially. This task can take some time if the data are large.
msgs | Number | The number of messages will be available in each account.
attSize | Number | The size of an attachment. If it does not exist or is equal to 0, no file is attached to the mail message.

- To reject mail data from the Mail application, the request link is as follows:

    http://{domain}/{rest}/bench/reject/MailDataInjector/?users=root&accounts=2,account

This link will request for removing 2 accounts of "root" of which Id starts with "account".

### Note

By default, such settings have been declared in "csdemo.war/WEB-INF/conf/csdemo/cs/bench-configuration.xml". Therefore, to save time, you should import the bench-configuration.xml file to "csdemo.war/WEB-INF/conf/configuration.xml", and then modify it as your purpose rather than create a new one.

## eXo Chatserver Configuration

### Openfire Configuration

The Chat service of eXo Collaboration is a Jabber engine powered by Openfire. eXo Platform will delegate the actual Jabber protocol communication to Openfire.

You have the full latitude to configure Openfire. There are two possible ways to do it:

- The admin console: http://localhost:9090/.

- The openfire.xml file in $openfire_home/conf/.

#### Configuration in Openfire.xml

The Openfire server has a single configuration file called openfire.xml and located under the exo-openfire/conf directory. Configuration is based on properties expressed in an XML syntax. For example, to set the property prop.name.is.blah=value, you would write this xml snippet:

    <prop>

      <name>

        <is>

          <blah>value</blah>

        </is>

      </name>

    </prop>

Openfire has an extensive list of configuration properties. You can read a list of all properties on this page: http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/docs/DOC-1061.

#### eXo specific configuration

The eXo Collaboration bundle comes with a pre-configured Openfire server. It is bundled with some eXo plugins and configurations that allow connectivity with eXo Platform. The key properties for integration are:

- provider.auth.className: An implementation of the AuthProvider interface for authentication of users on the Chat server.

- provider.users.className: An implementation of the UserProvider interface to which Openfire will delegate users management.

- provider.groups.className: An implementation of the GroupProvider interface to which Openfire will delegate groups management.

eXo Platform provides implementations for these 3 interfaces with ExoAuthProvider, ExoUserProvider, ExoGroupProvider. These implementations are based on the eXo REST framework and let you configure the endpoints within the openfire.xml file with additional properties:

Property | Default value | Description
--- | --- | ---
eXo.env.serverBaseURL | `http://localhost:8080/##` | The base URL of the server.
eXo.env.restContextName | `rest` | The context name of REST Web application.
provider.authorizedUser.name | `root` | The username to authenticate to access the HTTP REST service.
provider.authorizedUser.password | `gtn` | The password matching with provider.authorizeduser.name.
exoAuthProvider.authenticationURL | `/organization/authenticate/` | The URL to authenticate users.
exoAuthProvider.authenticationMethod | `POST` | The HTTP method used for the authentication method.
exoUserProvider.findUsersURL | `/organization/xml/user/find-all/` | The URL to find all users.
exoUserProvider.findUsersMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to find all users in the system.
exoUserProvider.getUsersURL | `/organization/xml/user/view-range/` | The URL to retrieve a range of users.
exoUserProvider.getUsersMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used for user/view-range.
exoUserProvider.usersCountURL | `/organization/xml/user/count` | The URL to count the number of users.
exoUserProvider.usersCountMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to count the number of users.
exoUserProvider.userInfoURL | `/organization/xml/user/info/` | The URL to get the information of users.
exoUserProvider.userInfoMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to get the information of users.
exoGroupProvider.groupInfoURL | `/organization/xml/group/info/` | The URL to get the information of a group of users.
exoGroupProvider.groupInfoMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to get the information of a group of users.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsAllURL | `/organization/xml/group/view-all/` | The URL to view a list of all user groups.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsAllMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to view a list of all user groups.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsRangeURL | `/organization/xml/group/view-from-to/` | The URL to list groups in a specific range.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsRangeMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to list groups in a specific range.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsForUserURL | `/organization/xml/group/groups-for-user/` | The URL to list groups to which a user belongs.
exoGroupProvider.getGroupsForUserMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to list groups to which a user belongs.
exoGroupProvider.groupsCountURL | `/organization/xml/group/count` | The URL to count the number of groups.
exoGroupProvider.groupsCountMethod | `GET` | The HTTP method used to count the number of groups.

As you can see, the default settings will only work if eXo Platform is deployed on the same host as Openfire, on the port 8080.

### Note

restContextName is used to specify the Openfire server that is dedicated for the portal. If the eXo.env.restContextName system property exists, it will override this value.

The eXo.env.restContextName system property can be set by specifying the -D option to the Java command when running Openfire.

For example:

- If the Openfire server is dedicated for the portal named "portal", the command will have the following format: java -DeXo.env.restContextName=rest -jar ../lib/startup.jar .

- If the Openfire server is dedicated for the portal named "csdemo", the command will have following format: java -DeXo.env.restContextName=rest-csdemo -jar ../lib/startup.jar..

By default, the Openfire server is dedicated to the portal named "portal".

### System Configuration

Openfire makes use of several ports for communication.

Interface | Port | Type | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
All addresses | `5222` | `Client to Server` | The standard port for clients is to connect to the server. Connection may or may not be encrypted. You can update the security settings for this port.
All addresses | `9090 & 9091` | `Admin Console` | The ports used for the unsecured and secured Openfire Admin Console accesses respectively.
All addresses | `7777` | `File Transfer Proxy` | The port used for the proxy service that allows files to be transferred between two entities on the XMPP network.
All addresses | `3478 & 3479` | `STUN Service` | The port used for the service that ensures connectivity between entities behind a NAT.

You can view the table above in http://hostname:9090/index.jsp after you have logged into the Openfire's web console and also customize those ports by yourself.

### AS configuration

To enable the propagation of identity across the Chat webapp, you are required to enable the SSO valve on the Tomcat-based Application server.

- For the Jboss server, edit jboss/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml.

- For the Tomcat server, edit tomcat/conf/server.xml.

The valve should already be there, you just need to uncomment it if it is not already done.

    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn"/>

In case of the cluster deployment, you may want to use `ClusteredSingleSignOn` instead.

    <Valve className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.sso.ClusteredSingleSignOn"/>
