This chapter covers the steps necessary to integrate Liferay Portal with external systems. This configuration may be necessary for the correct operation provided by some the bundled portlets.
Liferay Portal can integrate with Washington IMAP+Sendmail, Cyrus IMAP+Postfix, and Dovecot+Postfix. Support for integration with Microsoft Exchange and other IMAP servers are planned and will be implemented in the near future.
The portal synchronizes with the mail server's user authentication by adding a mail server account when a portal account is added, deleting a mail server account when a portal account is deleted, and updating a mail server account when a portal account is updated. To do this, the portal must have privileges to modify and to update the mail server's user database.
The portal must also keep track of how email addresses map to
certain accounts. For example, in the default installation, the portal
maps the user id liferay.com.1 to the email
address [email protected].
One possible deployment scenario is to run the mail EJBs on the mail server and run the portal EJBs on the web server. In this case, the mail server and web server are two different machines. The portal EJBs will give abstract commands (add/delete/update user) to the remote mail EJBs to carry out. The mail EJBs then run the appropriate system commands for the specific mail server and operating system.
Another possible deployment scenario is to have the mail EJBs and
portal EJBs run on the same machine. This can all be configured by
editing portal.properties.
Users access their email through an IMAP server. Access is limited to IMAP so that the portal does not have to be programmed to know where to persist the mail.
Install Sendmail and Expect on your mail server. Expect allows you to add, delete, or update users in one command. An example script for Red Hat is included in /mail-ejb/scripts/redhat.
Configure /portal-ejb/classes/portal.properties for your mail server.
The following instructions assume:

Install Fedora Core 4.
For a minimal installation, choose to install a custom server. Deselect all packages groups. Select the package groups: Text-based Internet, Mail Server, DNS Name Server, FTP Server, MySQL Database, Network Servers, Development Tools, Legacy Software Development, Administration Tools, and System Tools.
Make sure the following RPMs are also selected. The packages cyrus-imapd and cyrus-imapd-utils are only available in Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 4. They were not part of Fedora Core 1 and needed to be compiled manually. In Fedora Core 4, they were moved to Extras and you will need to use yum to install these packages.
Mail Server: +cyrus-imapd, +cyrus-imapd-utils
MySQL Database: +mysql-server
Development Tools: +expect
Update Fedora. This may take a while even if you have a
fast connection.

Copy /mail-ejb/scripts/fedora/cyrus/mysql_virtual.cf to /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual.cf. Modify mysql_virtual.cf to point to your MySQL database.
Edit /etc/postfix/virtual. Add the line
yourdomain.com anything for each virtual
domain that Postfix will manage. A correspending entry is needed
in the MySQL database so that email to [email protected]
can be delivered to a Cyrus IMAP account.
Transform /etc/postfix/virtual to a format Postfix can read.
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
Edit /etc/postfix/master.cf. Replace the two instances of
/cyrus/bin/deliver with
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver. Add these
two lines:
procmail unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m USER=${user}

|---|---|
If you copy cyrus_adduser and cyrus_userdel from a Windows environment to a Linux environment, you need to run dos2unix cyrus_adduser to convert the file so that Linux can read the file correctly. |
Edit /etc/pam.d/pop so that POP authentication is checked via MySQL. Remove the current lines and add these lines:

cyrus_adduser and
cyrus_userdel that are used to
add and delete Cyrus IMAP users require a default cyrus user to
authenticate with.
insert into CyrusUser (userId, password_) values ('cyrus', 'cyrus_password');
Every virtual domain requires a [email protected] entry so that email to [email protected] can be delivered to a Cyrus IMAP account.
insert into CyrusVirtual (emailAddress, userId) values ('[email protected]', 'your_domain_1');
Create a default account for your_domain_1.

First build a generic Liferay email hook, ShellHook.java, that
shells out all of the email methods. You install it by adding these
lines to portal-ext.properties:
mail.hook.impl=com.liferay.mail.util.ShellHook
mail.hook.shell.script=/usr/sbin/mailadmin.ksh
mail.box.style=INBOX
We next built a generic Korn Shell Script, mailadmin.ksh, that implements each method for Dovecot, or any other email system you want. It supports an interactive command line interface for testing:
mailadmin.ksh --help
mailadmin.ksh
mailadmin.ksh addForward [userId]
[emailAddresses]
mailadmin.ksh addUser [userId] [password] [firstName]
[middleName] [lastName] [emailAddress]
mailadmin.ksh addVacationMessage [userId]
[emailAddress] [vacationMessage]
mailadmin.ksh deleteEmailAddress
[userId]
mailadmin.ksh deleteUser [userId]
mailadmin.ksh updateBlocked [userId]
[blockedEmailAddress]
mailadmin.ksh updateEmailAddress [userId]
[emailAddress]
mailadmin.ksh updatePassword [userId]
[password]
All of the code is in SVN. mailadmin is at: mail-ejb/scripts/fedora/ksh/mailadmin.ksh Here are the step-by-step installation instructions:
