How do I proxy a connection to the backend server?

Issue

How do I set the LDIF record for HTTP redirection from a mail router to a mail access server for the delegated domain user?

Solution

For the purpose of this example, assume that:

• cs3.cs.example.com is the message router
• cs1.cs.example.com is the mail access server
• cs1-dd1.cs.example.com is a delegated domain on cs1.cs.example.com

Issue the following CLI commands on the mail router (cs3.cs.example.com) to set the LDIF record:

Ldap Set Ldif

<add>

mail: @cs1-dd1.cs.example.com

mailhost: cs1.cs.example.com

and terminate it with "." (a period on a line by itself)

HTTP Set Mode Ldapredirect

Ldap Set Compatv1routing Off

Maildom Add cs1-dd1.cs.example.com

Auth Set Default Plaintext:local

Smtp Set Ldaprouting On

Issue the following CLI commands on mail access server (cs1.cs.example.com):

Domain Add cs1-dd1.cs.example.com

Domain Setcurrent cs1-dd1.cs.example.com

User Add test1 (create a user test1 in the delegated domain)

Mailbox Add user.test1 (create the mailbox for the user test1)

Domain Setcurrent ""

Auth Set Default Plaintext:local

In the above example, if a delegated domain user test1@cs1-dd1.cs.example.com connects to http://cs3.cs.example.com/wm and logs in with a password (set while creating the user), the user is redirected to the mail access server where the mailbox physically exists.
