sync zimbra contacts with funambol
<div id=“dw”>
Funambol
Lets try to hook up funambol.cipar.net with the zimbra installation at mailro.songshu.org so that we can sync the calendars and contact lists with e-mail clients like thunderbird and mobile devices blackberrys and such.
Installation
you can get it to run on 64bit i guess but you will have to change some paths for java, well not really in to the effort right now so i'll install the 32 bit OS this time.
newvserver --vsroot /VSERVERS --hostname funambol --domain cipar.net --ip 192.168.1.18/24 --dist etch --arch i386 --mirror http://192.168.1.12:3142/debian.apt-get.eu/debian --interface dummy0
Your current time zone is set to Unknown Do you want to change that? [n]: Enter for default
Enable shadow passwords? <Yes>
enter the root password
Create a normal user account now? <No>
Choose software to install: <Ok>
vserver funambol start vserver funambol enter
nano /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://192.168.1.12:3142/security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib deb http://192.168.1.12:3142/ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
cd /usr/src/
wget http://download.forge.objectweb.org/sync4j/funambol-7.0.6.bin
sh funambol-7.0.6.bin
and prepare for a long scroll.
Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no] yes
/opt always seems to be a nice place
Directory to extract Funambol [/opt] <return to accept>?
Do you want to start the server? [yes or no] yes
cp /opt/Funambol/bin/funambol /etc/init.d/
ln -s /etc/init.d/funambol /etc/rc3.d/S30funambol
nano /etc/init.d/funambol
change funambol home to the following
FUNAMBOL_HOME=`(cd /opt/Funambol ; pwd)
cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zimbrafunambol/ZimbraConnector_0.5.01.s4j?modtime=1219875982&big_mirror=0
cp ZimbraConnector_0.5.01.s4j ZimbraConnector.s4j
cp ZimbraConnector.s4j /opt/Funambol/ds-server/modules
mkdir /opt/Funambol/config/connector
nano /opt/Funambol/config/connector/ZimbraConnector.xml
<java version="1.5.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object class="ru.korusconsulting.connector.config.ConnectorConfig">
<void property="dataSource">
<string>jdbc/fnblds</string> <!--The funambol datasource-->
</void>
</object>
</java>
nano /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties
and add our module to the modules to install
ZimbraConnector
/opt/Funambol/bin/install-modules
This will ask you to install the modules listed in install.properties.
We're not running funambol on a desktop machine so do the basic install on your desktop client and issue.
/opt/Funambol/admin/bin/funamboladmin
to start the admin tool and login to 192.168.1.18.
In the admin tool remove the following items
PIM Calendar SyncSource -- cal; event; scal; stask; task PIM Contact SyncSource -- card; scard
add new SyncSources to FunambolZimbraConnector.
Modules > zimbra > FunambolZimbraConnector>CalendarSyncSource
Source URI = cal,event,scal,stask,task Name = cal,event,scal,stask,task Zimbra URL = http://mailro.songshu.org/service/soap/
Modules > zimbra > FunambolZimbraConnector>ContactSyncSource
Source URI = card, scard Name = card, scard Zimbra URL = http://mailro.songshu.org/service/soap/
done.
