Comment on Outlook default reminders, 18 hour madness by gooroo

I don’t know if this will solve the same issue, but I found that if its a recurring event you right click on the event in your calendar and mouse over open and choose open series then in the options section there is a little reminder drop down that lets you choose when you get a reminder for that particular event! If its a single event and not recurring you can just right click on the event and click open and then open occurrance and everything else is the same after from there on!

good luck and I hope this helps you!

Okay, this is what you need to do if you have more than 1000 AD/LDAP entries.

Go to Server > Server Manager > System Properties > Add new property
And add the following:

Property Name: ldap.pagedResultsSize
Property Value: 1000

Stop & start Openfire and you should now have more entries in the drop down menu, plus click-able page numbers.

Setting the line to “true” or “false” in the openfire.xml allows you to start over again.

CentOS 6.0 – 64bit — had to add libldb.i686 for JVM

Openfire 3.7.0

Name : mysql
Arch : x86_64
Version : 5.1.52
Release : 1.el6_0.1

Server set-up
http://127.0.0.1:9090 for initial configuration, for admin GUI after configuration http://127.0.0.1:9091

I opened firewall ports
22
5222
7777
9090 – this can be blocked after configuration as port 9091 will be used thereafter for admin
To get this ‘switched off’ enter ‘-1′ in the openfire.xml file
9091

JVM
Increase JVM memory by adding DAEMON_OPTS=”-Xms256m -Xmx512m” to /etc/sysconfig/openfire

Connection Settings
baseDN: dc=foo,dc=local

adminDN: cn=mr.foo,cn=Users,dc=foo,dc=local — mr.foo@foo.local also worked for me

User Mapping
Username Field: sAMAccountName

Search Fields — I left this blank

Advanced Settings > User Filter: (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(mail=*)) — add everybody with an email address, if they have no email address in AD they they will not be added
or (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(cn=*)) — add everyone with a Name entry in AD

Group Mapping
Group Field: cn — the default

Member Field: member — the default

Description: description — the default

Advanced Settings > Group Filter: (&(objectClass=group)(cn=MrFoo_GroupDivision)) — I had a test group in AD created

Some of my notes for setting up Openfire 3.7.0 on CentOS 6.0 64-bit with Active Directory, and some of the gotchas.

1) If you have more than 1000 AD user entries (I did) the drop down option in management GUI allows you sort by 1000 “Total Users: 1,000 — Sorted by Username — Users per page:1000″ … well it doesn’t work, it will display a 1000 users but if you have more you are not offered any way via the GUI to view the next 1000, no little arrow to click forward, no page number 2…etc…etc. I believe there is a fix for this though, I read it some where.

2) Getting locked out (not the old bug that seem to exist v3.6.4) after editing. Okay, everything was ticking along nicely, I added myself as the “Administrator” user for Openfire and it allowed me to do everything one expected, I rebooted the server, stop/started Openfire to test if everything came back up, it did, I could still login as Admin, all working perfectly, I then did the following and got locked out.

Openfire > Server > Server Manager > System Properties, I wanted to edit the ldap.searchFilter, so clicked the “Edit” icon, made may edit and saved, restarted Openfire, and then I couldn’t login to Openfire, the login page was displayed, but it refused to accept my credentials, I tried stop/start again, all to no avail. In the end I decided to start over as it only takes a few minutes to configue Openfire (it might have been possible to delete/change the mysql db directly, I couldn’t be bothered), so I just set “true” to “false” and retarted from scratch…just to test I did the same thing again, edited the field, and got locked out again…so this could be a bug.

Hi Talha,

I quick bit of Googling gave me this link :

Basically you need to turn on LDAP over SSL when using the LDAP wizard.

I can’t believe this isn’t configurable. So many times Microsoft do 95% of a good job but then stuff it up on the last 5%.
