Unable to get hmailserver plugin to work #1276

Open technicallyalterd opened 7 years ago

Rainloop 1.10.5.192, Running on IIS with PHP 7.0.9

I have installed the hmailserver plugin, and I can not seem to get it to allow me to change passwords.

Webmail is running on the same server as IIS
System is pointed to "localhost" for the email server
Password has been checked and reentered several times
no errors in any of the logs, hmailserver and Rainloop
DCOM has been setup to allow changes to hmailserver from "IUSR" per hmailserver documentation: https://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/v5.3/?page=howto_dcom_permissions

It continually gives me "Could not save new password."

Any ideas on where to look next?

Did you setup the hMailServer administrator password in the plugin configuration? This is the same password you would use to launch the desktop administrator configuration utility. Does the PHPWebAdmin utility that comes with hMailServer work?

Oh look, here I am 5 years later answering my own question. Except this time the answer is a little different. You can further check DCOM permissions in the event viewer:

Open EventViewer by searching for it on the start menu
In the right pane menu naviate to Windows Logs -> System
Observe any "Warning" level logs from the "DistributedCOM" source

Mine said something to the affect of The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission .. to the user IIS APPPOOL\WebMail.

Added the permission to that specific user using the instructions from the website.
