Synchronizing User Accounts with an MDaemon User Database

In addition to adding users manually (which is described in chapter User Management), MailStore Server can synchronize its internal user database with an MDaemon user database on the basis of the USERLIST.DAT of your MDaemon server.

During synchronization user information such as user names and email addresses are read from the MDaemon user database and recorded in MailStore Server's user database. MailStore Server makes no changes to the MDaemon user database itself. Synchronization can be limited to individual or multiple domains and groups.

Accessing the Directory Service Integration

• Log on to MailStore Client as a MailStore Server administrator.
• Click on Administrative Tools > Users and Privileges and then on Directory Services.
• In the Integration section, change the directory service type to MDaemon USERLIST.DAT.

Connection to the MDaemon

For synchronization MailStore Server requires information on how to access the MDaemon App directory.

• MDaemon App Directory
  Enter the path to the App directory of your MDaemon installation. The App directory contains the files Userlist.dat and Groups.dat. If MailStore Server is installed on the same computer as the MDaemon Server, the MDaemon App directory is detected automatically.
  If MailStore Server is not installed on the same machine, share the App directory of the MDaemon server with the MailStore Server computer and enter the share's UNC path into the field MDaemon App Directory (e.g. \\MDAEMON\MDApp).

Please note: To access the MDaemon App directory through a network share it may be necessary to configure a startup script for the MailStore Server Service.

• Code Page
  You only have to change this option if the encoding of the filesUserlist.dat and Groups.dat differs from the standard encoding of the MailStore Server computer.

User Database Synchronization

After configuring the connection settings as described above, you can specify filter criteria for the MDaemon user database synchronization in this section.

• MDaemon Groups
  Choose one or more groups to let only their members be created as MailStore Server Users. If no groups are selected, all users will be synchronized.
