SOGo v5.10.0 released

February 21, 2024

The Alinto team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of SOGo v5.10.0. This is a major release of SOGo which add new features and a lot of bug fixes.

What’s new with 5.10.0

IMPORTANT

• We strongly encourage you to read the passage from the doc about setting a secret to encrypt sensitive data in database.
• A new table for database needs to be set: OCSAdminURL, see database Configuration

Message of the Day

Super User can set a message of the day that would be shown at the login page. To do that be sure to have set the table OCSAdminURL and define your super users with the param SOGoSuperUsernames in your sogo.conf:

OCSAdminURL = "mysql://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:3306/sogo/sogo_admin";
SOGoSuperUsernames = ("qhivert@mydomain.org");

Note that sogo will automatically create the table OCSAdminURL if missing, no need to do it manually.

A new ‘Administration’ panel will be available for those super user where they can change the message of the day.

This functionnality has been sponsored by one of our prenium customer: the University Of Cologne

You’ll find the administration button next to mail, calendar and contact:

Once the message od the day set, it will show to every user in at the login page!

Hide mail in website url

SOGo website use your email in its url like this:

https://my.sogo.website/SOGo/so/qhivert@snapshot.alinto.org/Mail/view#!/Mail/0/INBOX

New parameters will encrypt this so you url will look like something like this:

https://my.sogo.website/SOGo/so/pz84d5jNOtDkeII5AAGl0Y5l35IDcGHZ5d8GLTOcVCM-/Mail/view#!/Mail/0/INBOX

To do that set those parameters in your sogo.conf:

SOGoURLEncryptionEnabled = YES;
SOGoURLEncryptionPassphrase = "16_chars_secrets";

Show some entries in global address book

New parameters allow you to show some entries when you click on your Global Address Book folder in Contacts.

SOGoGlobalAddressBookFirstEntries = YES;
SOGoGlobalAddressBookFirstEntriesCount = 78; //Number of entries shown, default to 100

Smtp server for auxiliary’s accounts

You can now set the smtp server for your auxiliary’s accounts. Auxiliary’s accounts are enable if these two parameters are set like this:

SOGoMailAuxiliaryUserAccountsEnabled  = YES;
SOGoCreateIdentitiesDisabled          = NO;

Now go to Preferences -> Mail -> New Mail Account

This functionnality has been sponsored by one of the sogo community user: sogouser5646

Exemple for a gmail address, mind that you have to enable the imap in your gmail account.

What’s next for SOGo
