Post-installation Configuration

Procedure​

Une fois l'Installing BlueMind sur la distribution Linux effectuée, utiliser le navigateur web pour se rendre sur la page de configuration initiale de BlueMind : https://votre.serveur.mail/setup (attention à bien saisir https et non http simple)

Puis se laisser guider par l’assistant d’installation :

  1. Prerequisites check

    Warnings and error messages​

    A warning may appear when the server has been assigned the minimum memory required. This is merely a non-blocking warning as a result of memory calculation, setup can go on regardless.
    If a problem blocks installation, an error email appears in red and the "Continue" button is unavailable.

  2. URL d’accès a votre BlueMind : saisir l'url publique d'accès à BlueMind et cliquer sur "Test access" (« Tester l'accès ») afin de valider, le bouton "Next" (« Suivant ») s'active alors si tous les tests sont réussis :

  3. Nom de domaine de messagerie : vérifier et corriger si besoin le nom de domaine de la messagerie puis cliquer sur "Next" (« Suivant ») :

  4. Mots de passe : le système vous permet de personnaliser les mots de passe définis par l'installeur.
    De plus, une sécurité permet de ne plus les perdre par inattention : tant que la case "I have memorized these passwords" (en français « J'ai mémorisé ces mots de passe ») n'est pas cochée, le bouton "Finish the configuration" (« Finir la configuration ») n'est pas disponible :

    Cliquer sur "Finish the configuration".

  5. L'installation se termine puis affiche les informations de connexion à l'application :

  6. Redémarrer le service BlueMind en ligne de commande :

    bmctl restart

Subscriptions​

If you already have a BlueMind subscription, install it now by following the procedure on Setting up the subscription to benefit from the associated tools and Outlook workstation connection.

tip

If you want dedicated people to be able to see when the number of users has been exceeded or when the subscription expiry date is approaching, don't forget to assign them the appropriate management role.

For more information, please see the pages:

Additional Components​

Some additional components are not included by default in the BlueMind installation and require the installation of additional packages.

Linked attachments​

BlueMind offers the option of linking attachments from emails to present them as download links to recipients.

See the following pages:

LDAP Import​

To implement the import of users and groups from an LDAP directory, go to LDAP Synchronization.

Subscription-based Components​

The BlueMind subscription gives you access to additional tools and functions:

  • the ActiveDirectory import tool.

For further information, see les pages BlueMind Subscription et Setting up the subscription.

Storage space sizing​

Once installed, to optimize BlueMind's operation, you need to set certain parameters according to your hardware and the number of users, in particular :

  • the number of nginx workers: this is set in the admin console, see the page dedicated to the System configuration
  • chapter 2: Proxy server

Data migration​

To ensure complete and successful data recovery, data recovery must be carried out from server to server, using export/import and data recovery tools.

Any data transfer by users or from thick clients (Outlook, Thunderbird) can be problematic in terms of the volume of data manipulated by these thick clients, and can lead to inconsistencies in user data on the new BlueMind instance.

We therefore recommend :

  • Contacts: VCard exports and imports
  • Events: ICS imports/exports
  • Emails: depending on the source server, imapSync, Exchange or Domino migration tool.

Contact BlueMind or your BlueMind partner for assistance with data recovery.

PST Import

Reminder: data transfer by PST import from Outlook should be avoided at all costs.
