Hi
I am trialing Nethserver with a view to banishing Google from my life. I have SOGo installed and working fine apart from Active-Sync.
The server is setup with SSL and the I have no problem logging in to the web interface. However when I try to connect my Android phone to ActiveSync I get ‘Unable to set up account - Unable to connect to server’.
I am using mailbox@domain.com for my username.
I am running the final release of Neth v7 and I a have just updated to the latest SOGo patches.
Does Active sync require an AD backend? I am just using Local LDAP.
SSL on Android needs a valid certificate sometimes (depends of Android version). You could use Let’s Encrypt certificate or you could install the self signed certificate manually as trusted certificate on your android device. First option would be easier, as you do not need to touch your android device…
Give it a try!
I’m using it here and it works.
Thanks all for chipping in thus far.
I have managed to get the IMAP/Caldav etc working externally but ideally I would rather not open up that to the internet, purely to reduce the attach surface. I would prefer to just have 443 open with SSL.
Yes, I know I could set up a VPN to gain access to them but that wouldn’t go down too well with the family.
Also… don’t know if this impacts anything… I am using a Samsung Galaxy S6 with the standard Samsung email client.
This client is also connecting to my exchange servers at work without problem.
I did try the Microsoft Active Sync tester website and that threw an error saying something about anonymous access was enabled, which is a bad thing.
