Topic: Horde :: access from behind "megaproxy"

[purpaboo]

Hi

I have an issue with Horde, in that when I try to access my webmail from work, it frequently borks with the error "Your Internet Address has changed since the beginning of your Mail session. To protect your security, you must login again."

My work appears to use a badly set up proxy which uses two external IPs.

I have RTFM and STFW and found that I should change the

/etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php file. There should be two lines:

Code: [Select]

$conf['auth']['checkip'] = true;

Both lines must be changed to

$conf['auth']['checkip'] = false;

in order to prevent IP address check upon login and the problem described above.

But, this config file file on an e-smith box (7.3) seems to just point to some templates


" Sorted by name (.bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj at end of list)

Can anyone point me in the direction of where the "checkip" option can be switched off?

TIA

Pete,
You can edit the template fragment using the following:
#mcedit /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php/125Authentication
After modifying the template do the following:
#/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php
#/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

thanks for the super fast response, ldkeen!

If it doesn't work I'll post again.

If you edit the default SME template fragement then your edits will disappear when the relevant SME rpm is upgraded.

The "SME" way to customize this template fragment would be:

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php
cp etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php/125Authentication .
mcedit 125Authentication(note the lone "." at the end of of the 3rd line)

Customize to your heart's content, then

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

If 'expand-template' finds a file in the .../templates-custom/... area, it will ignore any file with the same name and relative location in the .../templates/... area.
