<a name="introduction"></a><h2>1. Introduction</h2>

<a name="purpose"></a><h3>1.1. Purpose and Scope</h3>

MAPIProxy is an endpoint server for Samba4 which proxies ExchangeRPC
traffic from MAPI clients (Outlook, openchangeclient, etc.) to
Microsoft Exchange Server (and back). It can either act as a
transparent proxy, for hacking, monitoring or debugging purposes or
modify traffic on the fly and so provide new features. It is primarily
developed for - but not limited to - third-party implementors looking
for a development framework they can use for MAPI acceleration
purposes.

This project is originally based on dcerpc_remote.c code from Stefan
Metzemacher (Samba4 trunk) and is released under GPLv3 or later. It
creates a dynamic shared object file which is loaded into samba and 
uses the Samba configuration file (smb.conf) to set common options.

<br/>
<a name="overview"></a><h3>1.2. General overview</h3>

<center>Figure 1. General MAPIProxy network overview</center>

The MAPIProxy traffic can be divided into 3 different parts as
described in the figure above:

<ul>
<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>[1] clients to
MAPIProxy:</strong><br/>The origin of a client connect does not 
have much importance: it can either be an incoming connection from a
real MAPI client, a connection relayed from another third-party
proxy or another MAPIProxy instance. MAPIProxy runs as an endpoint
server registered when samba starts. When the Samba4 endpoint mapper
receives an incoming connection asking for one of the ExchangeRPC
endpoints: NSPI (Name Service Provider Interface - Address Book) or
EMSMDB (Exchange Message Store), the endpoint mapper redirects
ExchangeRPC traffic to MAPIProxy which will pull, push and dispatch
MAPI operations.</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>[2] MAPIProxy to
MAPIProxy:</strong><br/>The main objective of MAPIProxy is not to
directly connect to the remote message server, but rather to relay
some kind of modified MAPI traffic to the next MAPIProxy hop. This
configuration can be used to add a compression layer between MAPIProxy
instances, or to send specific third-party vendor information.
However, a proxied connection directly from a MAPI client to an 
Exchange server (i.e. <i>client-MAPIProxy-server</i> is possible and
such a configuration could be used for many other purposes.<br/></li>

<li><strong>[3] MAPIProxy to server:</strong><br/>This last node is
responsible for restoring MAPI contents and pushing it to the real
Exchange server. </li> 
</ul>
<br/>

</ul>
<br/>


<a name="install"></a><h2>2. Installation</h2>
<a name="download"></a><h3>2.1. Download MAPIProxy</h3>

MAPIProxy is only available through SVN at the moment. A tarball 
release will only be made when we have a stabilized API with a
preliminary set of useful features. You will need a <a
href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">SVN client</a> to download
openchange (including  MAPIProxy)..

\code
 $ svn co https://svn.openchange.org/openchange/trunk openchange
\endcode

<a name="samba4"></a><h3>2.2. Samba4 installation</h3>

The MAPIProxy implementation requires a very recent Samba4 version
in order to run properly. If Samba4 is planned to be installed
from scratch for MAPIProxy only, please use the <i>make samba-git</i>
compilation rule provided in the build system. This command will
automate most part of the samba4 installation process. The only
requirement for this step is to have an up to date <a
href="http://git.or.cz/">GIT version</a> installed on the system.

\code
  # make samba-git
\endcode

When the installation process is finished, a running samba4
installation will be located in <i>/usr/local/samba/</i>. You will possibly be
required to run <i>ldconfig</i> before you move to next steps. Please
refer to <i>doc/howto.txt</i> for further information on openchange
compilation.
<br/>

<a name="mpinstall"></a><h3>2.3. MAPIProxy installation</h3>

If you have existing OpenChange DSO in the
<i>/usr/local/samba/modules/dcerpc_server/</i> folder, such as
<i>dcesrv_exchange.so</i>, <strong>please remove them prior loading
samba with MAPIProxy.</strong>

\code
  $ ./autogen.sh
  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba
  $ make
  # make install
  # rm -rf /usr/local/samba/modules/dcerpc_server/dcesrv_exchange.so
\endcode

<br/>


<a name="config"></a><h2>3. Configuration</h2>
<a name="minute"></a><h3>3.1. 5-Minute Configuration</h3>

This 5-Minute configuration will help you set up a minimal MAPIProxy
using specified credentials and relaying traffic from Outlook clients
to a remote Exchange server. This configuration will be performed in three
steps:

<ul>
<li><strong>[1] Provision Samba</strong>:<br/>From samba4/source4
directory, run under the root account:
\code
# ./setup/provision --realm=OPENCHANGE.LOCAL --domain=OPENCHANGE \
                    --adminpass=openchange --server-role='domain controller'
\endcode

If you don't have DNS resolution and your realm can't be resolved,
samba will be unable to authenticate the user in its user database. You
must specify a realm which MAPI clients and MAPIProxy can resolve.

If everything works fine, the provisioning script will have created
all the databases, populated the AD (Active Directory) and generated a
valid smb.conf file.
</li>

<li><strong>[2] Add a user account</strong>:<br/>

In this configuration, we'll set the same credentials both for the
user in the windows domain and on the Samba4 server. Let say there is
already a user named <i>testuser</i> with its password set to
<i>openchange</i> on the Exchange server:
\code
# ./setup/newuser testuser
New Password: openchange
\endcode
</li>

<li><strong>[3] Configure MAPIProxy options</strong>:<br/>

In this final step, we only need to customize a small set of parameters:
<ul>

 <li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc endpoint
 servers</strong>:<br/> MUST include epmapper and mapiproxy separated
 with comma.</li>

 <li
 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:binding</strong>:<br/>
 This is the binding string used to connect to the remote Exchange
 server. The format of this string is: transport:address[flags]. In the
 example below, we'll be using the TCP over IP transport, connect on
 192.168.1.1 and add the print flag so MAPI packets get dissected on
 samba stdout (or logfile).</li>

 <li
 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:username</strong>
 and <strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:password</strong>:<br/>The specified
 credentials we will be using to connect to the remote Exchange
 server.</li>

 <li
 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:domain</strong>:<br/>
 The Windows domain the remote Exchange server belongs to.</li>

 <li
 style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:interfaces</strong>:<br/>
 In our case, we want to relay the whole ExchangeRPC traffic, so we
 need to load both the EMSMDB and NSP interface. In the meantime,
 people interested in NSPI proxy only would only have to load the
 exchange_nsp interface.</li>

<li
style="text-align:justify;"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules</strong>:<br/>
MAPIProxy provides a stackable modular system which primary objective
is to provide developers an API for modules development. In our case
we want to activate the <i>downgrade</i> module responsible for the
EcDoConnect/EcDoRpc EMSMDB RPC functions negotiation.</li>

</ul>

\code
[globals]
        netbios name    = MAPIPROXY
        workgroup       = OPENCHANGE
        realm           = OPENCHANGE.LOCAL
        server role     = domain controller

	### Configuration required by mapiproxy ###
	dcesrv:assoc group checking = false
        dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, mapiproxy

        dcerpc_mapiproxy:binding = ncacn_ip_tcp:192.168.1.1[print]
        dcerpc_mapiproxy:username = testuser
        dcerpc_mapiproxy:password = openchange
        dcerpc_mapiproxy:domain = EXCHANGE
        dcerpc_mapiproxy:interfaces = exchange_emsmdb, exchange_nsp, exchange_ds_rfr
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules = downgrade
	### Configuration required by mapiproxy ###


[netlogon]
        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/openchange.local/scripts
        read only = no

[sysvol]
        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
        read only = no
\endcode
</li>
</ul>

We are now ready to run samba:
\code
 # samba -d5 -i -M single
\endcode

If everything works properly, the following lines should be displayed
in samba output:

<a name="concepts"></a><h2>4. Technical Concepts</h2>
<a name="bindings"></a><h3>4.1. NSPI Bindings Replacement</h3>

When Outlook sets up an Exchange account using either the mail applet
from the configuration panel or the account editor within Outlook, it
uses the NSPI protocol (Name Service Provider Interface, effectively
the address book provider). In this case, NSPI is used to resolve the
Exchange username and fetch from Exchange server all information
needed by Outlook to initiate direct connection to the EMSMDB pipe 
(effectively the message store) the next time it connects to the server.
<br/>

At some point of the profile's creation process, Outlook queries
Exchange for some specific connection information using the
<strong>NspiGetProps (0x9) RPC operation </strong>. More specifically,
when Outlook requests for the
<strong>PR_EMS_AB_NETWORK_ADDRESS</strong> MAPI property, Exchange
returns a list <strong>binding strings</strong>. Outlook next stores
these binding strings at some location - associated to the Outlook
profile - in the windows registry and uses them for future
connections.<br/>

Outlook can also rely on other information returned by NSPI functions
and connect to the real Exchange server rather than MAPIProxy. Such
case occurs when Outlook is able to resolve the exchange server using
its hostname. This reference to the original Exchange server can be
found when Outlook requests for the
<strong>PR_EMS_AB_HOME_MDB</strong> MAPI property during the
<strong>NspiQueryRows (0x3) RPC operation</strong>. MAPIProxy replaces
the Exchange server name with its own netbios name and forward the
reply to the client.<br/>

In the meantime, this information is next used by Outlook to query a
minimal entry ID for a distinguished name using this server
name. MAPIProxy needs to substitute the server name in the inbound
request string with the original exchange one.<br/>

MAPIProxy needs to avoid Outlook clients being aware of this remote
server address and trying to communicate directly with the remote server
instead of using the proxy. In order to do this, MAPIProxy alters the
Outlook-Exchange MAPI traffic and replaces these binding strings with
the MAPIProxy FQDN and netbios name.

<br/>
<a name="rfr"></a><h3>4.2. NSPI Referral Replacement</h3>

The Address Book Name Service Provider Interface (NSPI) Referral
Service is a service used by Outlook to retrieve the name of an NSPI
server. No NSPI connection should be initiated without first querying
for the correct NSPI server. In this case, RFR returns the fully
qualified domain name of the real Exchange server and starts using it
if available. <br/>

MAPIProxy needs to avoid Outlook clients being aware of this server
address and trying to communicate directly with the remote server
instead of using the proxy. In order to do this, MAPIProxy alters the
Outlook-Exchange MAPI traffic and replaces the server DN returned by
<strong>RfrGetNewDSA (0x0) RPC operation</strong> with the MAPIProxy
realm as specified in smb.conf.

<br/>
<a name="retrograde"></a><h3>4.3. Force EMSMDB Protocol Version</h3>

When Outlook starts and presumably calls MapiLogonEx, it first opens a
connection to the Exchange server on the NSPI pipe, then on the EMSMDB
pipe. Under Outlook 2003, the very first EMSMDB RPC call Outlook makes
can be considered as a kind of <i>protocol version
negotiation</i>. Depending on which version of Outlook is used, and how
the Exchange server replies to the EMSMDB connect request, Outlook will
either keep using the same pool of RPC calls or downgrade.

For example Outlook 2003 (default behavior) tests if the remote server
supports the 2 new EMSMDB calls (EcDoConnectEx/EcDoRpcExt2) introduced
in Exchange 2003. If Exchange replies to the EcDoConnectEx request
with a dcerpc_fault, it means the server does not support the RPC
operation, presumably has a version before 2003, and Outlook needs to
downgrade its version in order to communicate with the server:
<ul>
  <li>EcDoConnectEx (0xa) call
    <ul>
       <li>On success, Outlook will use EcDoRpcExt2 (0xb) to handle MAPI traffic</li>
       <li>On failure (dcerpc_fault: nca_op_rng_error), Outlook calls
       EcDoConnect (0x0) and use EcDoRpc (0x2) to handle MAPI
       traffic</li>
   </ul> 
  </li>
</ul>

If MAPIProxy runs in an environment with Outlook clients and
Exchange servers using a version above 2003, a last step is required
to successfully use Outlook. The EcDoConnect RPC reply returns the Exchange
server version (as an array of 3 short integers). When Outlook detects this
particular server version, it automatically closes the connection and keep
requesting indefinitely for EcDoConnectEx. To deal with this, MAPIProxy 
modifies  the EcDoConnect reply sent by Exchange and replaces the server version
with a one equal to that sent by Exchange 2000.

In the meantime, if we reproduce this test with Outlook 2000 which
doesn't support these 2 new RPC calls, Outlook will directly call
EcDoConnect.

The main difference between the EcDoConnectEx/EcDoRpcExt2 operations and
the EcDoConnect/EcDoRpc operations is that the former use 
both XOR 0xA5 obfuscation and LZ77 compression/Direct2 encoding;
while the latter only use the XOR obfuscation to handle MAPI content.
If MAPIProxy wants to act as an intelligent proxy (for example, to 
be able to analyze MAPI content on the fly, compress MAPI data etc),
receiving non compressed MAPI traffic would probably improve the
overall process.

Below is a list of Exchange/Outlook pairs and the EMSMDB connect
function they will use by default:

MAPIProxy reproduces the Exchange 2000 behavior and prevents Outlook
from communicating with the Exchange server using the
EcDoConnectEx/EcDoRpcExt2 as described in Figure 2 below. When Outlook
sends an EcDoConnectEx request, MAPIProxy does not relay the request to
the remote Exchange server and immediately returns a dcerpc_fault to
Outlook. Outlook, assuming the server doesn't support this call uses
EcDoConnect instead. From this call, MAPIProxy relay the information
to Exchange.

<center>Figure 2. MAPIProxy behavior on Outlook EMSMDB connection</center>

From the Exchange side, the server will analyze this EcDoConnect
request as a call sent by Outlook 2000 or below version. Exchange
works fine using this protocol version unless Exchange 2007 SP1 which
appears to introduce client version restrictions <i>by default</i>. In
the meantime, existing tests demonstrate similar restrictions would
apply to Outlook 2003 connection (without MAPIProxy) and prevent
Outlook version before 2007 connecting to Exchange 2007. Further information

<a name="idl"></a><h3> 4.4. OpenChange IDL File </h3>

IDL stands for Interface Definition Language and OpenChange uses this
format to describe ExchangeRPC communications. This file is processed
by pidl (Perl IDL compiler provided by Samba4) which turns this
protocol description into C-code dealing with the push, pull and print
operations.

OpenChange development policy in trunk used to push a new MAPI call in
the IDL only when the associated libmapi implementation and mapitest
unit is developed, but this was preventing from distributing MAPIProxy
with further openchange releases. Furthermore, the OpenChange IDL is
now almost complete and merging back to the trunk helps improving
libmapi reliability.

<a name="mod_dev"></a><h2>5. Stackable Modules</h2>
<a name="mpm_overview"></a><h3>5.1. General Overview</h3>

The MAPIProxy stackable modules system provides implementors a
development framework to add new features. This stackable mechanism
allows developers to write modules with a very specific scope of 
which modifications will transparently be relayed to the next module
until it is finally pushed by MAPIProxy to
the next hop (Figure 3.).

<center>Figure 3. MAPIProxy module stack and EcDoRpc interaction </center>

With this system, developers can focus their effort on ExchangeRPC
traffic - or any other protocol samba supports - interception,
modification, analysis and avoid spending time on implementing a new
endpoint server. Furthermore it provides an easier way for
implementors to divide the work in smaller units and develop each of
them in a separated module.
<br/>

MAPIProxy modules are dynamic shared objects with an entry point and a
limited set of hooks. These modules have to be installed in the
<i>dcerpc_mapiproxy</i> folder within the samba4 modules directory
(e.g. <i>/usr/local/samba/modules</i>). MAPIProxy modules specified
in the Samba configuration file (smb.conf) will be loaded into MAPIProxy
at runtime and interact with each other in the same order they were
defined:

\code
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules = downgrade,dummy
\endcode

All MAPIProxy modules will be registered but only those specified on
the <strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules</strong> parametric option line
will be added to the chained list of effective modules.
<br/><br/>


<a name="mpm_ep"></a><h3>5.2. Module entry point</h3>

MAPIProxy modules must have an entry point function named
<strong>samba_init_module</strong>. This function needs to set general
information about the module, specify the module's hooks and finally
call the <strong>mapiproxy_module_register</strong> function to
register itself in the MAPIProxy module subsystem.

\code
NTSTATUS samba_init_module(void)
{
	struct mapiproxy_module	module;
	NTSTATUS		ret;

	/* Fill in our name */
	module.name        = "sample";
	module.description = "A sample module";
	module.endpoint    = "any";

	/* Fill in all the operations */
	module.init     = sample_init;
	module.push     = sample_push;
	module.ndr_pull = sample_ndr_pull;
	module.pull     = sample_pull;
	module.dispatch = NULL;
	module.unbind   = NULL;

	/* Register ourselves with the MAPIPROXY subsytem */
	ret = mapiproxy_module_register(&module);
	if (!NT_STATUS_IS_OK(ret)) {
		DEBUG(0, ("Failed to register 'sample' mapiproxy module!\n"));
		return ret;
	}

	return ret;
}
\endcode

<ul>
    <li><strong>module.name</strong>:<br/>
    This is the module name. This name will be used by
    dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules in smb.conf to load the module</li>

    <li><strong>module.description</strong>:<br/> 
    This field lets developers specify a brief module description for
    information purpose only.</li>

    <li><strong>module.endpoint</strong>:<br/> 
    This field defines the interface which this module is designed to
    work with. The primary objective is to avoid calling the module
    hooks if the module doesn't have any impact on the requests or
    replies. For example, a module only interacting with the EcDoRpc
    function should define <i>exchange_emsmdb</i>.

    In the meantime, it can happen that a module requires to interact
    with more than a single interface. In such case, use the
    '<strong>any</strong>' keyword which will call the modules functions
    with any endpoints proxied by MAPIProxy.</li>
</ul>


<a name="mpm_hooks"></a><h3> 5.3. Module Hooks</h3>

MAPIProxy offers a set of hooks which modules can implement to
modify/change/alter client to server MAPI traffic. The figure below
shows how and when hooks are called during a request/response
lifetime.

receives a MAPI request. The request has already been extracted and
its information filled into MAPI structures

<li><strong>push</strong>: This is the function called when MAPIProxy

compressed information or use functions other than EcDoRpc for
EMSMDB transport. In order to use the downgrade module, edit smb.conf

The <strong>pack</strong> module implements routines designed to
manipulate and factorize MAPI content between different MAPIProxy
instances. It also offers a developer overview on how to manipulate
mapi requests. Last but not least, it provides data which can next be
used by subsequent MAPIProxy modules for example to compress or
encrypt this proxypack blob.

<ul>

<li>First, MAPIProxy extracts and removes specific MAPI calls from the
request, pack them within the proxypack MAPI call data blob, prefix
them with their real offset in the array of mapi requests and finally
append this custom call at the end of the mapi requests array (Figure
4).</li>

This module has two configuration options:
<ul>
 <li><strong>mpm_pack:opnums</strong><br/>
 This option takes a list of MAPI calls to pack into the proxypack
 data blob. It can take one or more MAPI opnums, each of them
 separated with a comma.</li>

 <li><strong>mpm_pack:lasthop</strong><br/>
 This options takes either <i>true</i> or <i>false</i>.the lasthop
 option defines whether this is a MAPIProxy directly connected to
 Outlook/Exchange or yet another proxy inserted within the MAPIProxy
 chain of hops. If this MAPIProxy instance is not a last hop, then it
 will skip the pack/unpack operations and forward the request to the
 next one.</li>
</ul>

\code
        mpm_pack:opnums = 0x70,0x75,0x76,0x77,0xa
        mpm_pack:lasthop = true

In order to use the pack module, edit smb.conf and add <i>pack</i> to
<i>dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules</i>.

\code
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules = downgrade,pack
\endcode

<br/>


<a name="mod_cache"></a><h3> 6.3. Cache Module </h3>

The <strong>cache</strong> module implements a cache mechanism for
streams related to messages or attachments. This module reduces
communication latency between MAPI clients (using <i>online</i> mode)
and Exchange. When configured with online mode, MAPI clients retrieve
data from Exchange each time they access a message and don't have any
offline storage mechanisms enabled - data are downloaded and stored
within a <i>temporary files</i> folder. This module also offers a
preliminary synchronization mechanism which can be used to transfer
files between different MAPIProxy instances and use different
protocols than MAPI for data transfer (such as rsync or wget).

The cache module is designed to cover different cases:

<h4>Scenario 1: Replay attachments</h4>

This scenario only requires a single MAPIProxy instance and requires a
single configuration option:
\code
	mpm_cache:path = /tmp/cache
\endcode

<table style="clear:both; margin: 0.5em auto; width:80%; text-align: center; background-color:#ffffff; border:2px solid #e0e0e0; padding:5px;">

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<center> Figure 8. Replay stream scenario </center>

<ul>

 <li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1. Outlook reads a stream for the first time</strong>:<br/>
 MAPIProxy monitors the Outlook-Exchange traffic and store the
 attachment on the local filesystem. </li>

 <li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2. Outlook requests this stream again</strong>:<br/>
 MAPIProxy looks over its cache, find the requested stream and
directly communicate with Outlook without forwarding requests to the
remote server.</li>

</ul><br/>

<h4>Scenario 2: Read stream ahead</h4>

This scenario requires two MAPIProxy instances and requires different
configuration options for local and remote MAPIProxy:

<ul>
<li><strong>local MAPIProxy smb.conf sample</strong>:<br/>
\code
	mpm_cache:path = /tmp/cache
	mpm_cache:ahead = false
	mpm_cache:sync = true
	mpm_cache:sync_cmd = /usr/bin/rsync -z mapiproxy@192.168.102.2:__FILE__  __FILE__
\endcode
</li>

<li><strong>remote MAPIProxy smb.conf sample</strong>:<br/>
\code
	mpm_cache:path = /tmp/cache
	mpm_cache:ahead = true
	mpm_cache:sync = false
\endcode
</li>

</ul>

<tr style="border:none;">
<td style="border:none;">
<img src="mpm_cache_case_two.png" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<center> Figure 9. Read ahead scenario with synchronization mechanism </center>

<ul>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>This scenario uses 2 MAPIProxy instances</strong>. We call
<i>remote MAPIProxy</i>, the MAPIProxy instance connected to the
Exchange server network and <i>local MAPIProxy</i> the instance
connected to the MAPI clients network.</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1. Outlook wants to read an attachment for the first
time</strong>:<br/> The remote MAPIProxy monitors the first ReadStream
request and read the full stream ahead on its own and stores it on its
local filesystem.</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2. remote MAPIProxy replies to local MAPIProxy and local
MAPIProxy runs the synchronization mechanism.</strong> The current
implementation provides a fork/execve/waitpid process which allows to
run any command with parameters. When local MAPIProxy finishes to
store the file locally through the synchronization mechanism, it marks
the stream as being cached.</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3. local MAPIProxy plays the attachment back to the client
from cache</strong>.</li>

</ul>


The module monitors OpenMessage, OpenAttach, OpenStream, ReadStream
and Release MAPI calls and stores streams on the local filesystem with
indexation in a TDB database. Note that the module doesn't yet provide
semantics needed to remove entries from the TDB database.


This module has different configuration options and modes:
<ul>
 <li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>mpm_cache:path</strong><br/>
 This option takes the full path to an existing folder on the
 filesystem. This folder will be the storage root path for the cache
 module and will hold the TDB store, a folder hierarchy and stream
 files.

\code
	mpm_cache:path = /tmp/cache
\endcode
</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>mpm_cache:ahead</strong><br/>
This option takes a boolean value (true or false) and defines whether
the ahead mechanism should be enabled or not. This mode should only be
enabled on the remote MAPIProxy instance. It can be enabled on local
MAPIProxy instance, however there won't be any benefit but Outlook
unexpectedly falling in some time out mode and close the connection.

\code
	mpm_cache:ahead = true
\endcode
</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;"><strong>mpm_cache:sync</strong><br/>
This option takes a boolean value (true or false) and defines whether
the synchronization mechanism should be enabled or not. This mode only
makes sense on the local MAPIProxy instance and
<strong>mpm_cache:sync_cmd</strong> must also be configured.

\code
	mpm_cache:sync = true
\endcode
</li>

<li
style="text-align:justify;"><strong>mpm_cache:sync_cmd</strong><br/>
This option takes the command line to execute for the synchronization
process. A preliminary substitution variable mechanism is available
but should be improved over time. For the moment, the cache module
only provides <strong>__FILE__</strong> which will be substituted by
the full path to the cached file. The synchronization process
currently assumes local and remote MAPIProxy instances have the same
storage path (<i>mpm_cache:path</i>).

\code
	mpm_cache:sync_cmd = /usr/bin/rsync -z mapiproxy@192.168.102.2:__FILE__  __FILE__
\endcode

</li>

</ul>

In order to use the cache module, edit smb.conf and add <i>cache</i>
to <i>dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules</i>.

\code
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:modules = downgrade,cache
\endcode
<br/>

<h4>Notes</h4>

<ul>
<li style="text-align:justify;">While the cache module implements a
preliminary <i>session</i> mechanism (multiple clients support), this
mode is currently only implemented up to 50%. Multiple clients will
work for files already cached, but will cause unexpected behaviors
while synchronizing a remote file at the same moment from different
session. This bug should be fixed when the streaming and lock
mechanism will be implemented.</li>

<li style="text-align:justify;">The synchronization mechanism is yet
experimental and we have deliberately changed the storage path
permissions from 0700 to 0777 for trivial setup. File permissions will
become parametric smb.conf options in the future.</li>

</ul>

<br/>


<a name="server_mode"></a><h2>7. Server Mode</h2>

<a name="server_overview"></a><h3>7.1. General Overview</h3>

Although <a href="#purpose">section 1.1</a> only describes MAPIProxy
as a proxy, recent work makes it possible to turn MAPIProxy either into a
<strong>complete and real stand-alone server</strong> or server/proxy
hybrid.

MAPIProxy behaviour is controlled through the <i>dcerpc_mapiproxy:server</i>
parametric option. To use MAPIProxy as an independent server, set

\code
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:server = true
\endcode

<ul>
  <li style="text-align:justify"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:server = true</strong><br/>
  When this parametric option is set to true, MAPIProxy will not initiate
  connections to a remote server, but instead will direct client connections to
  its own default NSPI, RFR and EMSMDB servers and work as a
  stand-alone server.<br/>
  </li>

  <li style="text-align:justify"><strong>dcerpc_mapiproxy:server = false</strong><br/>
  If this option is unset or set to false (default behavior),
  MAPIProxy will work in proxy mode only and initiates a connection to
  a remote server using the binding/credentials configuration as
  specified in <a href="#minute">section 3.1</a> (5-Minute
  Configuration).
  </li>
</ul>
<br/>

In addition to the server mode described above, MAPIProxy provides an
additional set of configuration options which makes possible to
override and customize MAPIProxy behavior. The server mode has been
designed to supply a modular mechanism somewhat similar to the modules
one described in <a href="#mod_dev">section 5</a>. While MAPIProxy
modules are stackable and can be chained, server modules only
support a single module for a given endpoint:
<ul>

  <li style="text-align:justify">When dcerpc_mapiproxy:server is set
  to true, MAPIProxy registers dynamic shared object stored at a
  specific location (modules/dcerpc_mapiproxy_servers) and load server
  modules tagged with the <strong>MAPIPROXY_DEFAULT</strong>
  status. For each of the endpoints MAPIProxy can handle
  (exchange_nsp, exchange_emsmdb, exchange_ds_rfr), the associated
  default server will be loaded. These default servers are located
  within mapiproxy/servers/modules. (Figure 10.)<br/>

<table style="clear:both; margin: 0.5em auto; width:80%; text-align: center; background-color:#ffffff; border:2px solid #e0e0e0; padding:5px;">

<td style="border:none;">
<img src="dcerpc_mapiproxy_server_true.png"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<center>Figure 10. Server mode enabled</center>
</li>

  <li style="text-align:justify">When dcerpc_mapiproxy:server is set
to false, MAPIProxy still registers server dynamic shared objects but
does not load any of them, which means that ExchangeRPC traffic will be
relayed to remote server.</li> 
</ul>

However there may be some cases where developers would like to run a
custom server they have developed, or handle a limited set of
ExchangeRPC traffic on their own for a given endpoint. This
configuration is made possible through 3 parametric options:

\code
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:nspi_server   = nspi_server
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:emsmdb_server = emsmdb_server
	dcerpc_mapiproxy:rfr_server    = exchange_ds_rfr
\endcode

Each of these options specifies the server module name to be loaded
for a given endpoint. Note that these options override the
dcerpc_mapiproxy:server state:
<ul>

  <li style="text-align:justify">If dcerpc_mapiproxy:server is set to
  true, specifying one or all of these options will override default
  servers with your own custom servers. For example Figure 11 shows a
  mapiproxy configuration where server mode is enabled but where the
  NSPI server has been replaced with a custom one.

  <li style="text-align:justify">If dcerpc_mapiproxy:server is set to

relayed to the remote server.

username and password. A similar credentials dialog will be displayed
each time Outlook is launched.

The profile was properly created using the mail applet from the
configuration panel (or using Outlook wizard). However when I launch
Outlook, I keep having the following error message:

<table style="clear:both; margin: 0.5em auto; width:80%; text-align: center; background-color:#ffffff; border:2px solid #e0e0e0; padding:5px;">
<tr style="border:none;">
<td style="border:none;">
<img src="mapiproxy_error_002.png"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<center>Figure 15. Outlook error: Unable to Open your default e-mail folders</center>

This probably means Outlook is unable to lookup the resolved name of
your MAPIProxy/samba4 server. You can either:
<ul>
  <li>1. Make your Windows workstation points to a domain name server
  able to resolve MAPIProxy fully qualified name.</li>

  <li>2. Open \code C:\WINDOWS\system32\etc\drivers\hosts \endcode file and
  add an entry for mapiproxy. For example if I have
  mapiproxy.openchange.local pointing at 192.168.102.2, then hosts
  file should hold the following line:
  \code
  192.168.102.2 mapiproxy.openchange.local mapiproxy
  \endcode
  </li>
</ul>

<a name="dc"></a><h3>8.3. Does MAPIProxy need to be domain controller?</h3>

No it doesn't. MAPIProxy works fine as a member server of a Windows
domain. However, since delegated credentials and forwarded kerberos
credentials don't yet work, you'll need to force samba to rely on the
local SAM database. To force this behavior, add to smb.conf within the
global section:

\code
	server role               = member server
	aux_methods:member server = sam
\endcode

<a name="gnutls"></a><h3>8.4. Generating Samba's private keys takes infinite time</h3>

For some configuration, the private keys generation process at Samba
startup can be very long. In case private keys are not generated
within a couple of minutes, it is suggested to recompile Samba with
gnutls disabled as in the example below:

\code
	$ ./configure.developer --enable-debug --disable-gnutls
	$ gmake idl_full
	$ gmake
	$ sudo gmake install
\endcode

<a name="gmake"></a><h3>8.5. On Ubuntu <i>make samba-git</i> exits with <i>gmake: not found</i></h3>

On Ubuntu, I have the following output while trying to install samba4 from OpenChange sources:

\code
	To build Samba, run /usr/bin/make
	Step2: Compile Samba4 (IDL)
	./script/installsamba4.sh: 332: gmake: not found
	Step3: Compile Samba4 (Source)
	./script/installsamba4.sh: 332: gmake: not found
	Error in Step3 (error code 127)
\endcode

gmake is make on Ubuntu. Creating the following symbolic link will fix
the issue:

\code
	$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake
\endcode
