Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.3 now includes software developed by
the OpenSSL project for use in the OpenSSL toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org). It also
includes includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young
(eay@cryptsoft.com) and software written by Tim Hudson
(tjh@cryptsoft.com). Scalix would like to thank these individuals and
the OpenSSL community for their valuable contributions.
Scalix Server 11.3 now includes software based on the Universal
Character Set Detector from the Mozilla project (http://www.mozilla.org), written by
Simon Montagu (smontagu@smontagu.org), Shy Shalom (shooshX@gmail.com),
Shoshannah Forbes <xslf@xslf.com> and others. Scalix would like
to thank these individuals and the Mozilla community for their valuable
contributions.
Scalix 11.3 no longer supports
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL 3) and no packages are available for
this platform for new installs or upgrades. For new installations and
upgrades, you
will now need
to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4) or Red Hat Enterprise Server
Linux 5 (RHEL 5).
Scalix is planning to deprecate support for SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server 9 (SLES 9) in one of the next releases of Scalix. We recommend
that you consider upgrading to SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES
10), even though no date or release has been set.
Scalix is planning to freeze development of Scalix Connect for
Outlook for Outlook versions 9 (Outlook 2000) and 10 (Outlook XP/2002)
in one of the next releases of Scalix. We recommend that you consider
upgrading to Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. Note that we will continue
to provide support on the basis of a frozen connector version, however,
no new functionality in Scalix Connect will be made available for these
platforms.
Scalix is committed to both providing programmatic access to the
system as well as to promote the use of open standards. With Scalix
11.3, we are releasing support for CalDAV (RFC 4791) and will continue
to enhance Scalix WebDAV capabilities in future releases. As there is
significant overlap between the technologies, we are considering to
halt further development and then later remove support for Scalix
REST-based Messaging Services APIs, which use proprietary interfaces
and data formats. If you are using Scalix Messaging Services for your
application development, we recommend investigating into updating your
code to use CalDAV/WebDAV interfaces instead. No date has been set for
this change yet.
|
Please read the following carefully, as some specific actions
might be required as you upgrade from earlier versions of Scalix.
|
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Scalix, there
are
several
changes of which you should be aware:
- Before beginning any upgrades, check your license key. If you are
upgrading to or from a Small Business Edition (SBE) or Enterprise
Edition (EE) installation, you need to have a valid and current license
key with a
"Last Valid Issue Date" (LVID) on or after 1 December 2007
(2007-12-01) to use Scalix 11.3. If the license is
not valid, your installation will downgrade to Community Edition. To
check the
LVID of your license, use the Scalix Management Console or the
sxlicense command. To extend
your upgrade subscription or get a new license key, please contact
Scalix Sales at info@scalix.com.
- After upgrading to any version of Scalix 11 from Scalix 10 or
earlier, you
cannot
downgrade to a previous
version because of permanent changes to the structure of the message
store.
- Scalix 11 changes the file system layout significantly from
previous versions. If you have customizations stored in any files under
the Scalix home directory (/var/opt/scalix), back them up before
upgrading. In addition, any custom scripts with hard-coded references
to /var/opt/scalix (such as ommaint or ombackup) must be updated
because they point to a file structure that has been changed. For more
on this issue, see the workaround for updating custom scripts. If you have any filesystems
mounted below /var/opt/scalix (e.g. separate mountpoints for tmp and/or
temp), you will need to unmount these before the upgrade. Otherwise,
the upgrade will fail.
- The location of all files has changed in this release from
/var/opt/scalix (aka ~) to /var/opt/scalix/<nn> which will be
referred to as <instance>. The meaning of ~ for Scalix 11 changes
to be the directory <instance>/s". In addition, some tomcat
logfiles have been renamed
- Scalix 11 requires the package sendmail-cf as an additional
prerequisite, which should be installed manually before starting the
installer. If not, the installer will detect the missing package.
- Direct upgrade from versions of Scalix prior to Scalix 10 is
not supported. You must first upgrade to Scalix 10, then upgrade again
to Scalix 11. You can directly upgrade from Scalix 10 to any version of
Scalix 11, including Scalix 11.3.
- When upgrading from Scalix 10.x to any version of Scalix 11, make
sure your
message store is in a
consistent state before you begin the upgrade. We recommend running
the omscan -Aafvx command to verify and fix
pre-existing message store issues. Due to a necessary message store
format upgrade when upgrading to Scalix 11, data corruption can occur
when trying to do this on a message store with pre-existing consistency
issues.
- We recommend you upgrade all components at the same time if
possible. If you can't do all systems at once, follow these rules:
- You can run Outlook with a Scalix 10.0.x MAPI connector
against a Scalix 11 server.
- You must not run
Outlook with a Scalix 11 MAPI connector against a Scalix 10 server.
This combination can cause invalid data in the message store and
interoperability issues.
- You can run a Scalix 11 SWA web server against a Scalix 10
server. You cannot run a Scalix 10 SWA web server against a Scalix 11
server.
- You can use a Scalix 11 Management server to manage a server
installed with Scalix 10. You cannot use a Scalix 10 Management server
to manage a server installed with Scalix 11.
- It is supported to run Outlook with an older Scalix Connector
version against a newer server, e.g. you can run Scalix Connect for
Outlook 11.1 against a Scalix 11.3 server. It is not supported to run
Outlook with a newer Scalix Connector version against an older server,
e.g. you cannot run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.3 against a Scalix
11.2 server. You must always upgrade all your servers first before
upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook.
- Scalix 11 requires slightly more disk space than its predecessors
because
it adds a new header cache database and a full text index. So before
upgrade, check the size of the message store and add another 5% to 10%
to the amount of diskspace required.
- Scalix 11 provides new full-text indexed search capability, used
by
both Outlook and Scalix Web Access. After the upgrade, the index must
be initialized. When run for the first time, this is a time-consuming
process and may take days for
a large message store. During this time, the system will experience
higher load and performance impacts. Also, search functionality is not
fully available until the index is created. You can control the pace at
which the index is created and schedule resources as required. See the
sxmkindex man page for further information. The Scalix installer will
ask you at the end of an upgrade install, if it should kick-off
creation of the index. For large systems, you might want to decline
this and schedule the index creation manually.
If you are upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook to version 11.3 from
any
previous version of Scalix Connect for Outlook 11, there are several
things to be aware of:
- When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.0 you should create new profiles for any
clients using SmartCache to benefit from all fixes contained in Scalix
11.1
- When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.1, Scalix 11.0.2 or Scalix
11.0.2.1, you may need to create
new profiles for some users using SmartCache to benefit from all
fixes in Scalix
11.3
- When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.3 or later,
there is no
need to recreate
Outook profiles or re-initialize the cache.
If you are using omldapsync to manage Scalix
users and groups through an external directory:
- Scalix 11.3 comes with an updated version of Java,
Sun Java
Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 13 (JRE 1.5.0_13) while
versions of Scalix 11 up until Scalix 11.0.4 used Sun Java Runtime
Environment 1.5.0 Patch 6
(JRE 1.5.0_06) and Scalix 11.1/11.2 use Sun Java Runtime Environment
1.5.0 Patch 11 (JRE 1.5.0_11). The Scalix Tomcat installation is
updated automatically
to use the new Java version. However, any existing sync agreements for
omldapsync, stored in
/var/opt/scalix/<instance>/s/ldapsync/<sync_agreement_name>/sync.cfg,
need to be updated manually to reflect the new version, e.g. the
following change will need to be done in all config files:
Change
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06
or
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_11
to
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_13
If you are upgrading your server to Scalix 11.3 from any previous
installation of Scalix 11, there are a number of new packages
supporting Scalix Server:
- scalix-libical - this replaces libical as shipped with earlier
versions of Scalix and must be selected in the installer when
installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.
- scalix-iconv-extras - this is an optional install that adds
additional character set for Japanese character sets to the os-supplied
iconv character set conversion library. It improves Scalix I18N
character set support and Scalix recommends installing this on all
systems running scalix-server.
- scalix-chardet - this is software derived from the Mozilla
Universal Character Set Detection library. It is used for automatically
detecting character sets in
incoming email messages with incomplete or incorrect MIME headers. As
of Scalix
11.3, scalix-server depends on this library and it must be selected in
the installer when installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.
If you are using Scalix Community Edition and you are upgrading your
server to Scalix 11.3 from any previous version of Scalix, please note
that the number of free Premium User licenses has changed from 25 to 10.
- If you have more than 10 Premium Users configured, the installer
will detect this and not allow you to upgrade. You will need to convert
some of your Premium Users to Standard Users before continuing with the
upgrade.
- If you need more than 10 premium users, you will need to upgrade
your Scalix installation to Small Business Edition or Enterprise
Edition. Please contact Scalix Sales at info@scalix.com for details.
Please also check the Scalix
11 Upgrade FAQ on the Scalix Wiki.

Scalix to track product usage statistically and better plan our
upcoming releases. The information is also sent by email to your
administrator account so that you can confirm that the content is
simple, transparent and non-sensitive. Except where disallowed by local
statute, it is a violation of the licensing conditions to disable or
circumvent this feature. Installing a Small Business or Enterprise

Supported Linux Platforms
Scalix 11.3 is supported on the following platforms:
- Scalix Server: Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 and 5; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10;
CentOS 4 and 5; Fedora 7; OpenSuSE 10.2 on i386 and x86_64 architectures
Note: Fedora 7 and OpenSuSE 10.2 are supported for evaluation
purposes and Community Edition use only; these are generally less
suitable for production environments than their "enterprise"
counterparts due to their frequent updates and short release cycles
Note: CentOS 4 and 5 are supported for evaluation purposes and
Community Edition use only at this time; it is planned to fully support
CentOS for Small Business Edition, Enterprise Edition and Hosting
Edition environments in a later release
Note: An unsupported
Community Edition package for
Debian-based Linux distributions is also available.

System Requirements

system requirements.
|
Alert
|
Note that the choice of storage environments will have a major
influence on performance of your Scalix system. Scalix as an
application is largely I/O-bound, using variable, small-blocksize
random read/write synchronous file I/O.
Also note that Scalix does
not
support
putting a Scalix Message Store on a NFS- or SMB-based storage device
such as a NAS Filer. Performance
issues and/or Message Store corruption can
occur. This is true for all Linux distributions using Linux
2.6.x kernels
as the NFS client software in these kernels have known issues with file
locking operations, which Scalix heavily relies on.
We suggest putting the Scalix message store on a Hardware
RAID Array,
using RAID 1+0 for best performance. The use of RAID 5 will result in
substantially worse performance due to the
nature of Scalix Disk I/O patterns (small, synchronous random writes)
and is not recommended.
In larger
installations, we do recommend using iSCSI- or FibreChannel-based SAN
storage. We also recommend the use of battery-backed write cache on the
RAID controller where available.

Installing the Scalix Mail Server requires Linux system
administration
skills and root access to the server. Coordination with your site
networking team is also required to ensure that workstations are able
to connect to the server (through TCP/IP sockets) and that the server
itself is visible to the network, including any necessary DNS/MX
configuration. If the network uses Firewalls and/or VPNs, then
additional modifications to the network might be necessary to enable
the required network connections to the appropriate ports on the
server, as described in the Scalix Installation Guide.
Scalix Installer
Issue
|
Workaround
|
|
If you installed SLES 9 on the Scalix server host, the
python-gtk-2.0.0-215.1 package automatically installs. This version of
the package forces the Scalix Installer to display the following error
message:
Error: Please upgrade python-gtk package to version
2.0.0-215.3 or newer, currently installed version 2.0.0-215.1 contains
a bug that affects Scalix Installer.
|
Exit the Scalix installer and use YaST to upgrade the
python-gtk package by the means provided by SLES 9.
|
|
After installation, the automatic launch of the Scalix
Management Console can sometimes be accompanied by a series of error
messages saying, "Shell-init: error retrieving current directory:
getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory."
Ignore these messages. The browser launches anyway. (Bug 4754)
|
None.
|
|
Reconfiguring the Messaging Services or the PostgreSQL
Database Integration with the Installation Wizard upgrade process can,
in some cases, cause users to be locked out when they later try to sign
in to the Scalix Mobile Web Client. (Bug 13947)
|
If the PostgreSQL database password changes, it must also be
changed in the file, platform.properties, which is located at
<instance>/platform/platform.properties. This requires a restart
of Tomcat. If the database is on a separate server from the platform,
this change must be done manually.
|
|
Windows-based installer for Scalix Connect for Outlook crashes
at the end of installation when starting setup.exe from inside a
Windows compressed folder even though installation completed
successfully. (Bug 14281)
|
Extract setup.exe from the compressed folder and execute it
directly from a normal folder.
|
|
Installer quits without warning if "dig" is not available (Bug
15771)
|
make sure that dig is installed. On most distributions, this
is part of the "bind-utils" package.
|
|
When replacing an existing Scalix SBE or EE license during
upgrade installation, sometimes the Scalix Server is not restarted
properly and the license manager will die unexpectedly (Bug 15770)
|
Check the status of the license monitor using the "omstat -a"
command. If not running or aborted, restart the server using "omshut"
and "omrc".
|
Scalix Mail Server
Issue
|
Workaround
|
|
After upgrading Scalix Mail Server from Scalix 10 to Scalix
11, users
with a
large number of messages in their email client folders might notice
reduced client/server performance when they access the message store.
This is caused by upgrades to the message store container file
structure that occur when they are next accessed by a user (through the
client UAL process or the local delivery service).
|
To control when the upgrading of the message store happens so
that it doesn't slow down mailbox access, shut down the Scalix Mail
Server
after upgrade and with only the daemons running (omrc -n), run the
commands omtidyu and omscan without the fixmode (-f) option. For
example, enter: omtidyallu -M and omscan -Aa.
Note: The first time it
runs after an upgrade, omscan can take twice as long as is typical
because it is upgrading message store containers. Scalix recommends
that you perform this task in off hours (nights or weekends) to
minimize impact on the Scalix Mail Server.
|
|
If you've installed your Scalix system on host(s) running SUSE
Linux Enterprise 9 (SLES9), your Outlook users will not be able to take
advantage of single sign on because of a flawed Kerberos interaction
between SUSE and Microsoft inherent in the Heimdal Kerberos
implementation provided with SLES9.
|
Upgrade to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10) which uses
a MIT Kerberos implementation.
|
|
[iCal Information] --
- Exchange 5.5 does not support iCal, therefore SWA-generated
meeting requests and meeting requests sent from Outlook/Exchange using
the "Forward as iCalendar" do not work correctly.
- A cancelled meeting scheduled via iCal shows as "Tentative"
rather than "Free".
- Outlook 2002 (Outlook 10) with an IMAP profile does not
recognize iCal messages. The only way Outlook XP will render iCal is if
the content type is text/calendar and is the only body type. Most iCal
messages are formatted as multipart/alternative. The same messages
viewed with OL11/IMAP are correctly processed. Therefore you cannot use
Outlook 10 in IMAP mode to connect to a Scalix Mail Server and process
iCal
type meetings.
- All-day events across time zones appear in local time and
are not marked specifically as all-day.
- Advanced recurrence patterns are not supported, e.g. every
2 weeks, Tuesday and Sunday (where the week starts on a Monday) or
yearly recurrence of the first weekend day of December.
- Responding to an iCal meeting request and proposing a new
time is not supported. Scalix does not currently support the COUNTER
method of iCal.
- Updating text for a series of recurring meetings may fail
to display the update where the recurring meeting previously had
exceptions.
- Sending a meeting request from Evolution to Outlook with
Scalix loses the "Optional" attendee status. As a result, all attendees
appear as "Required".
|
[iCal Workarounds] --
- To get full calendaring interoperability between Scalix and
Exchange 5.5, use the TNEF route and Outlook as the client.
- To make a time slot display as "free," manually remove the
meeting from the calendar when accepting a cancellation request.
- This is a Microsoft issue with Outlook 10.
|
|
If you modify an email user's name while the user is actively
connected to the server, the user may not be able to sign on again
using SWA or Outlook/Connect. This applies to modifications made both
in the Scalix Management Console or the ommodu command on the CLI.
|
Use SAC or the CLI to verify that the user is logged off
before making any modifications. You can then use SAC to modify the
user record, or use CLI and issue the following command:
ommodu --requireSignoff -o "<name> "
Where <name> is the user's Scalix name.
|
|
If a user's account is moved from one server to another when
SmartCache is enabled, local caches do not update with the user's new
internal server address.
|
When a user is moved to a different server, the profile and
cache must be recreated.
|
|
If using SmartCache in SmartCache mode, when a user's mailbox
is moved from one server to another within a multi-Server Scalix
Enterprise Edition environment, you must create a new profile on the
user's desktop and re-initialize the user's cache.
|
Create a new profile on the user's desktop and re-initialize
the user's cache.
|
|
If you use DDVs to store ISO bulletin board subjects, any DDVs
that contain 8-bit ISO characters should be moved to the DDVn-TX
variants before upgrading to 11.0. Otherwise, upgrade and/or directory
synchronisation may fail for these entries.
|
DDVs that contain 8-bit ISO characters should be moved to the
DDVn-TX variants before upgrading to 11.0. On the system where the
directory entry is locally owned, use omsearch to extract (e.g.
omsearch -e S=bb1 -m DDV1) and ommodent to 'move' it. For example:
ommodent -e S=bb1 -n DDV1=/DDV1-TX=<ddv1_value>.
|
|
With the 11.0 release, the interchange character set used for
storing ORN's has been changed from T61 to UTF8. This means that when
communicating with legacy Scalix machines (Scalix 10.0 and earlier) via
the Sendmail Interface (SMINTFC), character set conversion needs to
take place.
|
To achieve interoperability with legacy machines, the SMINTFC
routes need to be flagged with a new "Version Number" field, which can
be set with a new "-v" option to omaddrt/ommodrt and which can be
viewed with the pre-existing "-f" option to omshowrt. When creating a
NEW route to a Scalix 1.0.x machine, the version number should be set
to "0" or "1". If creating a SendMail interface route to another 11.0
machine, the route version should be set to "2". In multi-server
environment, if a machine is upgraded to 11.0, initially all interface
routes will remain as version 0. But as soon as it receives a message
on one of those routes which it detects to be an 11.0 message, then the
Sendmail Interface Service automatically upgrades that route to version
2. This way, as other machines in the network are upgraded, Sendmail
interface communication continues to work.
|
|
In some cases, you may be able to log in to SAC using
administrative privileges from a server not registered with SAC. (Bug
14088)
|
On each server, use a different management domain password
(set |
