MCIS 2.0 Email account management

1. LDAP solution.

2. VB script solution.

3. VB scripts parameters.

4. Examples

Rodopi is creating accounts on the MCIS Mail Server systems with event scripts. We have several LDAP and VB scripts to manage the basic functionality of MCIS 2.0 Mail Server.

1. LDAP solution.

Address: ldap://mcis-server.yourdomain.com:389

• Add new entry to the DS

  dn: cn=object@ObjectID@, ou=Members, o=root
  changetype: add
  cn: object@ObjectID@
  accountStatus: 1
  mail: @New_PopName@@@default-mail-domain.com
  mail: @New_EmailAddress@
  userPassword: @New_Password@
  objectClass: member
  guid: @GUID@
  

• Deletes E-Mail Account

  dn: cn=object@ObjectID@, ou=Members, o=root
  changetype: delete
  

• Updates E-Mail Account

  dn: cn=object@ObjectID@, ou=Members, o=root
  changetype: modify
  mail: @New_PopName@@@default-mail-domain.com
  mail: @New_EmailAddress@
  userPassword:@New_Password@
  

• Suspends E-Mail Account

  dn: cn=object@ObjectID@, ou=Members, o=root
  changetype: modify
  accountStatus: 3
  

• Releases E-Mail Account

  dn: cn=object@ObjectID@, ou=Members, o=root
  changetype: modify
  accountStatus: 1
  

2. VB script solution:

We have several VBS and command scripts to manage the basic functionality of the mail server in MCIS 2.0.

mkmail.vbs - Creates E-Mail Account;

delmail.vbs – Deletes E-Mail Account;

actmail.vbs - Suspends/Releases E-Mail Account;

chngmail.vbs - Updates E-Mail Account.

dsfndobj.exe - Provides a fast search in the DS. Its result is useful for "chngmail.vbs" and " mkmail.vbs" (See   "mail_updated_" and "mail_inserted_" files).

3. VB scripts parameters.

To see how to use every script just start it without parameters. Example:

cscript script_name.vbs

actmail.vbs
Usage:
actmail <--user|-u UserName> <--status|-s UserStatus> <--root|-r DSRoot> [--help|-?]
Example:
actmail -u Someone -s 1 -r LDAP://SOMEHOST:389/o=SomeRootDN/ou=members
