Installation issues
- The following procedure/adjustments are mandatory if you installed CentOS6 (64bit) or ORACLE Linux 6 (x86/x64)
- If port 80 is not set to allow connections (open) in ip
tables, Tomcat will not work at all - scalix-tomcat service will run, but in the tomcat log there will be a big backtrace
- Open port 80 in iptables
- restart the iptables service
- restart the scalix-tomcat service
- restart the httpd service
- After this it should be working correctly
- Secondly initialization of all web applications in Tomcat can take over 20 sec - Tomcat will work only after initialization of its webapps. If you make changes to Tomcat such as the above, please also restart apache (service httpd restart).
- If port 80 is not set to allow connections (open) in ip
tables, Tomcat will not work at all - scalix-tomcat service will run, but in the tomcat log there will be a big backtrace
- On Debian sometime installation fails due to a pre-existing error in the sendmail.cf file with the MAILER lines in the wrong place. To fix this manually move the bad MAILER lines to the end of the file and try again.
- The Installer GUI has been removed. Only the Command Line Interface (CLI mode) installer is used with Scalix 12.5
Important end of
Life Notices
When running Scalix in a mixed-version multi-server setup, where your front end servers are running SWA 12.5, the back end servers have to be upgraded to at minimum version 12.5 as well.
· Scalix 12.5 is the last release of Scalix to provide support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10). We recommend that you upgrade to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) to prepare for the release and upgrade to future versions of Scalix.
· Scalix 12.5 is the last release of Scalix to provide support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 (RHEL5). We recommend that you upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (RHEL6) to prepare for the upgrade to future versions of Scalix.
· Scalix is further halting development of Scalix Connect for Outlook versions 12 (Outlook 2007) and earlier as of Scalix 12.5. We recommend that you upgrade to Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013. While we will continue to provide support on the basis of a frozen connector version, no new functionality in Scalix Connect will be made available for these platforms.
· JRE 1.5 is no longer supported.
· Upgrading from Scalix 11.3 or earlier is not supported
Upgrade Notices
Please read the following notes very carefully, as some specific actions might be required as you upgrade from earlier versions of Scalix.
Upgrading from a previous version
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), Enterprise Edition (EE) or Hosting Edition (HE) installation, you need to have a valid and current license key with a "Last Valid Issue Date" (LVID) on or after January 1, 2015 (2015-01-01) to use Scalix 12.5. If you continue installation after the respective warning and the license is not valid, your installation will downgrade to the Community Edition. To check the LVID of your license, use the
Scalix Management Console or the sxlicense command. To extend your upgrade subscription or to get a new license key, please contact Scalix Sales.
- ACL behaviour has been changed as of Scalix 12.5. If upgrading from an earlier version of Scalix, you may to first set general.cfg ACL_NEW_SEARCH_RULES=FALSE to temporarily disable the new ACL rule behavior, and then migrate your existing ACL rules . See the Scalix Administration Guide for details.
- When upgrading from previous installation of Scalix to 12.5, it is recommended that you empty your IMAP caches by running the following command on your backend server. Please note that this command may only be run when nobody is signed on to the system (when the rci and IMAP services are off): cd $(omrealpath "~/"); find user* -name imap-cache -exec rm -rf {} \;
Features & Supported OS
Scalix 12.5 provides the following features:
Major archiving changes to support Exchange format and other features:
- With general.cfg settings of ARCHIVE=TRUE and ARCH_MESSAGE_FORMAT=SIMPLE the output is the same as before in Scalix 12.1.
- With general.cfg settings of ARCHIVE=TRUE and ARCH_MESSAGE_FORMAT=EXCHANGE the output is in the format of Exchange 2007 Journaling.
- With general.cfg settings of ARCHIVE=TRUE and ARCH_MESSAGE_FORMAT=SCALIX the output is in the new Scalix format (for details see sxarchiver man page).
Major changes to support Sender Internet Address configuration and related new functionality:
- Prior to Scalix 12.5 the SMTP name used for a message sent from Scalix used the SMTP name that was the primary name for a configured user (or the first SMTP name if multiple names were configured). The 12.5 enhancements allow much more flexibility in the selection of which SMTP name to use at the sender.
- A new configuration option has been defined (per-user and/or per-system): UL_SENDER_IA=TRUE|FALSE|<SenderIA>
- If the Sender IA feature is configured and active, then Outlook and SWA clients will be presented with ways for select the Sender IA.
- The command omshowu displays extra 'All Sender IA' line if active using RFC2047 MIME DL syntax, e.g. =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCNVdKXRsoQiAbJEI4NTwjGyhC?= <mkubo@scalix>
Major changes to support ACL features including new search rules and new sxacl* commands for mail store:
- In general the om*acl* commands at Scalix 12.5 control access only to services while the new sx*acl* commands control access to mail store items (mailboxes, public folders, private folders, messages).
- New ommaintacl command to clear orphaned entries and/or replace old entries with GUID entries (for maintenance and upgrade).
- New sxacl* commands (e.g. sxacladdn) have been added (for more details see individual new man page).
- New ACL search rules have been defined for 12.5 (for more details see omchkacln/sxaclchkn man pages).
- Internally the commands store GUID instead of ORN in ACLs (to better cope with use name changes).
Major hosting enhancements to support per-mailnode configurations and other features:
- Add server support for per-mailnode configuration (see omaddmn/ommodmn/omshomn man pages).
- Add server support for per-mailnode user quota/sanction in omlimit (see omlimit man page).
- Add server support for hosting tenants spanning multiple server (see sxhostadd/sxhostdel man pages).
- Enhance sxhostcfg and sxdu to support new functionalities (see sxhostcfg and sxdu man pages).
Freebusy service maintains and provides freebusy information for all mailbox calendars:
- At Scalix 12.5 the server-based Freebusy Service (FBS) maintains Calendar freebusy information for all Calendars and makes thatinformation available to Mail and Calendar clients.
- Freebusy information is derived without the need for clients to publish individual Freebusy data.
- Existing support of Freebusy information remains unchanged for SWA, Outlook and Messaging Services.
- Freebusy information can be supplied in iCal format via CalDAV URL.

|
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 or RAID 6 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 |

Known Issues and
Workarounds
Scalix Admin Tools
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
When creating a mailnode using the Mailnode screen in SAC, public folder structure in hosting mode is not created and users cannot login. |
Do not create the Hosted Mailnode using the Mailnode Screen in SAC; use the provided SAC Hosted Mailnode plugin instead. In Scalix 11.5, the functionality will be fully embedded into SAC and the plugins will go away |
|
|
Default values for LDAP size limit inadequate |
The size limit for LDAP queries in SAC may be insufficient for even simple installations. The default will be raised in a future release. The limit can be manually adjusted in ubermanager.properties if the said error appears |
Scalix Server
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
Umlauts in passwords do not work correctly |
It is recommended not to use non-ASCII characters in passwords. For best security and compatibility, use a combination of ASCII characters, numbers and special characters. non-ASCII characters in passwords are subject to client processing and are not likely to work across different clients |
|
|
ommodu --resource Y does not create calendar folder and set calendar permissions |
It is not recommended to change a normal user to a resource. Delete the user mailbox and create a new one, which will have the calendar folder setup. Otherwise, you'll have to log-in to a calendar-enabled client with the user and setup folder permissions on the Calendar manually |
|
|
LDAP server should disable anonymous binds by default to allow for better security |
The desired effect can be achieved by setting LDAP_MUST_AUTHENTICATE=TRUE in general.cfg |
|
|
sxaa: An applied filter including non-ascii characters is not effective. |
This will be fixed in a future release of Scalix |
|
|
omtidy omtidyallu options -d -w0 cause problems |
The combination of options will be disabled in a future release of Scalix and should be considered unsupported and deprecated |
|
|
RSS ProxyFolder should keep history of entries independent of server feed content |
The behavior will change in a future release of Scalix |
|
|
Some special characters not allowed in Proxy Folder names |
Do not use any of these characters in proxy folder names: "[", "]", "$", "%", "*", "#" or "/" |
|
|
Can't recognize CJK user names in Proxy Folder setup |
Find out the ASCII version of the Scalix username (as per omshowu) and use this to create the proxy folder as a workaround |
|
|
omscan server cycle will not run if time was in the future during last cycle |
Reset the Server Cycle timer using omscan -Z |
|
|
sxdu -r should automatically correct wrong recovery folder size. |
The wrong size information can be corrected by running omscan in "-S" fix mode and then deleting another item, so that it gets added to the recovery folder. Future versions of Scalix will automatically correct the wrong information |
|
|
Allow for unlimited number of elements in a folder, including Inbox. |
Scalix 12 will eventually allow for an unlimited number of items in each folder. For Scalix 11, the limitations are 128K (=131072) items per folder (including subfolder entries, but NOT including subfolder items) and 32K (=32767) when Outlook is supposed to access the folder using Scalix Connect |
|
|
ommodpdl fails when CN has more than 40 characters |
Use PDL names shorter than 40 characters |
|
|
Duplicate sub-Folders Created in BB device after moving messages in SWA. |
This is a known issue with Scalix Connect for Blackberry Enterprise Server. It will be fixed in a future release |
Scalix Messaging Services
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
CalDAV should allow viewing of attachments |
This functionality will be added in a future release of Scalix |
|
|
CalDAV scheduling POST to Outbox should result in message in Sent Items |
This will be improved in a future release of Scalix, as the CalDAV-Scheduling standard evolves towards a full RFC |
Scalix Web Access
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
Folder name having greater then (<) and (>) lesser then sign are not displayed in folder tree |
Do not use "<" and ">" characters when naming folders for use in SWA |
|
|
Invoking SWA within a frameset yields erroneous error message |
Using SWA inside a frameset is currently not supported. A future version of SWA will be made more portal-friendly |
|
|
Attaching file having semicolon in filename removes all the earlier attachments. |
Using semicolons in attachment names is not supported for SWA. The behavior will be improved for a future release |
|
|
SWA appears to allow changes to read-only Proxy Folder |
Future versions of SWA will display proxy folders differently and not allow changes using UI limitations |
|
|
SWA test button should trigger browser prompt to install appropriate media plugin on IE7 |
Correct Media plugins must be installed manually before the SWA session for SWA to play sounds correctly on receiving email |
|
|
Folder names with ! don't work in SWA, do in Outlook, cause issues in sxmboxexp/imp |
Do not use folder names containing exclamation marks ("!") to be able to use a folder in SWA |
|
|
Can't open attachment with apostrophe in the file name |
In Internet Explorer and when running on Vista, files with apostrophes in the name cannot be opened when received as an attachment. This will be fixed in a future release. As a workaround, please re-send the file with the attachment renamed. In general, it is not recommended to use filenames with special characters for attachments |
|
|
Search Result Pane returns blank window, when pop-up blocker is turned on. |
The search window will be integrated into the main window in a future release of Scalix. Popup handling will be improved. For the time being, popup blocking must be fully disabled for SWA to work correctly |
|
|
Keep getting "Your request to the server has timed out. Keep trying?" popup message. |
Scalix 11.5 will vastly improve on SWA used bandwidth and how timeouts are managed. The number of occurrences of this (valid) timeout will be reduced |
|
|
SWA fails to send mail to the PDLs having special characters in their names. |
Certain special characters like double quotes ("), ampersand (&), angle quotes (<>) or semicolon (;) should not be used in the display name of a personal distribution list in the SWA contact folder; otherwise, it will not be possible to send email to these distribution lists |
Scalix Connect for Outlook
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
- |
Extended Japan Support ISO-2022-jp
does not work yet |
Will be fixed in future Scalix version |
|
- |
Outlook 2010/2013 sometimes
freezes on accepting meeting requests IF there are two users with the same CN
on a server. |
Will be fixed in future Scalix version |
|
OLE embeded objects are not viewable on the
message in the Sent Items folder |
The use of embedded OLE objects is not supported with current versions of Scalix Connect |
|
|
MAPI limits number of items displayed in a folder to the first 32767 |
Currently, only the first 32767 items in any folder can be accessed through Outlook/MAPI. This limit will be lifted in a future release of Scalix |
|
|
Subject displays empty in sent items folder when mail sent with more than 178 i18n chars. |
This issue will be resolved in future versions of Scalix |
|
|
Scalix (Outlook) Help doesnt show up on Vista and Windows 7. |
Online help for Scalix Connect for Outlook is currently unavailable on Windows Vista. This will be fixed in a later release |
|
|
System address book cached copy should be updated on change |
User must wait for the AB_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL to expire and/or restart Outlook for Address Book Changes to be propagated to SmartCache |
|
|
Support for "To-Do Bar" search for Tasks on Outlook 2007 |
This feature of Outlook 2007 or higher will be supported in Scalix 11.5 |
|
|
When searching in Outlook the "search in subfolders" option is ignored for subfolders with special characters in their names. |
The behavior will be improved in a future release of Scalix. It is not recommended to use non-ascii characters in folder names for maximum client compatibility |
|
|
"Recall message" functionality should be supported with Scalix Connect. |
This may be implemented in a future release of Scalix. It should be noted, however, that the functionality is only weakly implemented in Outlook, as in many cases only a "Disregard previous message" message can be provided |
|
|
Repairing connector installation gives outlook information store error. |
Do not use the "Repair" option at this time. If there are any issues with the installation of Scalix Connect for Outlook, uninstall and re-install the connector |
|
|
Regression: Setup.exe uses CPU more than 95% while setup is triggered from shared folder. |
This is a known issue with the Scalix Connect for Outlook installer. Copy the setup.exe file to a local drive before launching the installer |
|
|
Progress indicator sometimes not visible or updated on OL12 |
This issue happens rarely with Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4.5 |
|
|
iTunes does not support sync with iphone using iTunes OutlookSyncClient |
Support for wired synchronization using Outlook and iTunes will be supported in Scalix 11.5. Scalix ActiveSync, providing for Push Email and wireless calendar and contact synchronization, could be used as a better alternative |
|
|
Outlook Connect does not install if filename is renamed in Vista |
Leave the filename of the installation image as Setup.exe |
|
|
Outlook 2003 used right after installation can report error: "Unable to open default email folder..." |
Start Outlook once and activate it before using it with Scalix Connect |
|
|
WDS: Support indexing of non-cache profiles and ensure it scales appropriately |
As of Scalix 11.4.5, Windows Desktop Search will correctly index SmartCache profiles. Future versions will enable non-cached profiles to be indexed as well |
|
|
Support for Blackberry Desktop Manager |
Blackberry Desktop Manager v4.1 and v4.2 can be enabled to work with Scalix using a patch to those products provided in the "extras" folder of the Scalix Connect distribution. Future versions of Scalix connect will support BBDM without such a patch |
|
|
Scalix Connect to support Google Desktop Search |
A future version of Scalix Connect will support Google Desktop Search. Use Windows Desktop Search with Scalix Connect 11.4.5 or higher as a workaround |
Scalix Installation
|
Bug |
Issue |
Comment/Solution/Workaround |
|
Installation fails if hostname contains uppercase characters. |
Use a hostname for your scalix server consisting of all-lowercase characters |
|
|
Installer should be smart enough to handle running scalix server with license upgrade during installation |
If you need a different Scalix license key after a planned upgrade, install that license key before running the installer to upgrade the software |
