@kordian said in Z-Push with Zimbra backend PHP 8.0 not working:

The Z-Push core is not tested with PHP 8.0 as yet, never mind PHP 8.1

Ah, I thought, you’re aware of this.
Sure, z–push as of maintainer’s current release 2.6.2 is not PHP8.x ready.

It’s certainly not only about testing and I have no information, whether the maintainers currently have time/ resources/ intention to do the necessary work or merge PRs.

My PHP 8.x fork is work in progress and sufficiently stable to serve the kopano-backend (with a PHP8 MAPI-extension), but I never tested it against the requirements of the Zimbra-backend.

++umgfoin.

@hooge exactly like you describe it. A whitelist is necessary.
Users are allowed by default, but any new device is a risk because you don’t know if the device belongs to the correct user or an attacker who got hold of the user’s credentials.
You’ll get the id with the initial connection attempt, and from there you allow the ids or not.
That would be an ideal solution and could be done with z-push-admin.

I found some other posts that I think were similar to my problem, suggesting a possible solution is to ensure that the full email address is used for IMAP login. Might be tough in my case since it’s an old stack I put together starting around 2004 and currently includes Cyrus > Pam > Winbindd > Windows AD, and though most elements are fairly configurable, the Windows domain name can’t be the same as the email address for other users. Maybe there’s something I can do at the pam level if there’s not an option to allow a different ActiveSync email address and IMAP login name.

Are there any options in Z-Push that will allow me to keep my email address and login name different? I know this is possible in ActiveSync, because I have an Exchange client that has a completely different domain from their email address and it works on iPhone.

I am glad I could help.

I will add that with the missing body type information…
(Just gotta check specifications once again, what is necessary.)

Have had this happening to me too, when setting up a new account.
Using the Kopano Outlook extension I triggered a complete resync, which worked well and the ID has remained the same ever since.

@fkoyer Raised it once to 768M, I should check but the 256M is the recommended value.

There was log mention of the php running out of memory a while ago… I wish I would of saved and pasted it on here.

That being said, I will try to remind myself to check the max memory size php uses.

Is it possible this happens when you daily SQL backup is running?

If you are using mysql, make sure to use the

–single-transaction

it will not slow down the availability of the database.

I combine with --single-transaction --routines

If you never used --single-transaction before, this problem would grow over time, as your DB gets bigger.

Two ways your can get client devices asking for password again:

The Z-Push is available, but kopano-server is not available

If the database server is too slow to accept new requests (or not available/offline), kopano-server can’t do much in regards to authenticating users.

@sebastian Is there a known recommended value for the PHP memory limit?

@manfred @Sebastian

Is there a reason that submitted pull requests are just auto-declining?

I have submitted 2 pull requests each for the two recent tickets, and all 4 have auto-declined after some “timeout” period.

For the record this was due to missing fpm package for the current php version.

I have PHP installed via Ondrej packages, and configured everything for PHP 7.4. But the default PHP version for the repo (that is, packages installed without an explicit version) are for PHP 8.0. Z-Push packages didn’t find php8.0-fpm so was trying to install Apache.

Installing php8.0-fpm solved.

I don’t know if it still matters - I have had this issue too, for me it came from not defining the default path for your caldav collection in backend/caldav/config.php.
Here is how I configured my default path for Nextcloud:

// Base URL to principals calendar collection: use ‘%l’ for local part or ‘%u’ for full username
define(‘CALDAV_PATH’, ‘/remote.php/dav/calendars/’);

// Default CalDAV folder (calendar folder/principal). This will be marked as the default calendar in the mobile
define(‘CALDAV_PERSONAL’, ‘personal’);

@sdondley said in Options for syncing roundcube contacts with z-push?:

I have contact syncing turned on so presumably the contacts on the phone exist somewhere on the server

That is not really how it works with ActiveSync (or any other contact syncing protocol I am aware of). When syncing an addressbook between your phone as server only the items of this specific addressbook get synced. The way I read your message is that it was your expectation that already existing contacts magically move into the addressbook that is synced to the server.
