Zarafa Virtual Appliance

About the Virtual Appliance

This virtual appliance/machine includes a full installation of Zarafa.

We strongly discourage you against using this appliance in production. It is intended to be a simple turn-key solution for users and administrators who want to take a closer look at Zarafa without having to spend time on configuring it.

The virtual appliance was created with VMware Server 2, but should work in most recent VMware applications, such as VMware Fusion, VMware Player and VMware Workstation.

About Zarafa

In their own words: Nowadays, e-mail is one of the mission critical applications of a company. Zarafa combines the usabillity of Outlook with the stability and flexibility of a Linux server. Not only Outlook is supported natively, but users can use also the web 2.0 Outlook “Look & Feel” webaccess, all ActiveSync compatible mobile devices and Blackberry via the Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Default Configuration

By default, this appliance is configured with the following network static settings:

Zarafa Credentials

We have created two Zarafa-users. One administrator and one regular user.

Administrator
User: zadmin
Password: zpassword

Regular user
User: zuser
Password: zpassword

System Credentials

There is only one system user created on the system. The user ‘root’ does not have any password set, so you’ll have to use ‘sudo’ when performing tasks requiring more permission.

The system-user:
User: zadmin
Password: zadminpassword

MySQL root password: mysqlrootpassword

Modifying Network Settings

Updating the network settings is unfortunately not an easy task, as it involves making changes to quite a few different files. These are the config-files you need to modify:

/etc/network/interfaces
Change your IP, netmask, default gateway etc.

/etc/resolv.conf
Edit the nameserver so that it matches your local IP address. By default it is 192.168.10.1.
