<div class="document" id="basic-configuration">
<h1 class="title">Basic Configuration</h1>

<p>This document contains information for initial and/or basic configuration of automx.</p>
<p>automx reads runtime behaviour and all settings controlling a domains account provisioning from a single configuration file. By default automx expects to find this file at /etc/automx.conf.</p>
<div class="section" id="format">
<h1>Format</h1>
<p>The general format of the automx.conf file is as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The basic element contained in an INI file is the property. Every property has a name and a value, delimited by an equals sign (“=”). The name appears to the left of the equals sign.</li>
<li>Properties are grouped into sections. The section name appears on a line by itself, in square brackets (“[” and “]”). All properties after the section declaration are associated with that section. There is no explicit “end of section” delimiter; sections end at the next section declaration, or the end of the file. Sections may not be nested.</li>
<li>Section and property names are case sensitive.</li>
<li>A line with a number sign (“#”) begins a comment. Anything following a number sign will be ignored by automx.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="sections">
<h1>Sections</h1>
<p>Sections create a namespace in which properties specific to a domain are defined. The section name identifies the domain. The three section names [automx], [DEFAULT] and [global] are reserved for special purposes within automx.</p>
<div class="section" id="automx">
<h2>[automx]</h2>
<p>Controlling automx Runtime Behaviour</p>
<p>This section is mandatory - it lists all options controlling automx runtime behaviour. The properties provider and domains are also mandatory. Usage of memcache and all of its associated properties is highly recommended.</p>
<p>[automx]</p>
<p>The following example shows a typical [automx] section setup:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[automx]
provider = example.com  1
domains = *  2
logfile = /var/log/automx/automx.log  3
debug = yes  4
memcache = 127.0.0.1:11211  5
memcache_ttl = 86400
client_error_limit = 5  6
rate_limit_exception_networks = 127.0.0.0/8, ::1/128  7
</pre>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>1</dt>
<dd>The provider property configures automx to identify the webservice as example.com.</dd>
<dt>2</dt>
<dd>The wildcard option * used in domains instructs automx to answer any configuration request regardless of the domain sent by the mail client.</dd>
<dt>3</dt>
<dd>All log information should go to /var/log/automx/automx.log.</dd>
<dt>4</dt>
<dd>Debugging is enabled and infos will be sent to logfile.</dd>
<dt>5</dt>
<dd>Statistical data controlling errors caused by clients accessing database backends will be sent to the specified memcache service.</dd>
<dt>6</dt>
<dd>In this example a client may not cause more than 5 errors before automx will refuse to answer further queries.</dd>
<dt>7</dt>
<dd>Clients listed in rate_limit_exception_networks are excluded from rate limiting.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="default">
<h2>[DEFAULT]</h2>
<p>Properties present in all other sections</p>
<p>This section is optional. Settings in this section define properties which will be present in all other sections. It is useful to avoid redundancy.</p>
<p>[DEFAULT]</p>
<p>The following example shows a typical [DEFAULT] section setup:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[DEFAULT]
action = settings  1
account_type = email  2
account_name = Example Inc.  3
account_name_short = Example  4
</pre>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>1</dt>
<dd><p class="first">The default action for automx is to provide account settings.</p>
<div class="note last">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The Microsoft schema forsees other actions that account provisioning.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt>2</dt>
<dd>The account_type should be an email account.</dd>
<dt>3</dt>
<dd>The account should show up as Example Inc. in the clients account list.</dd>
<dt>4</dt>
<dd>The accounts short name should be Example.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="global">
<h2>[global]</h2>
<p>A global backend</p>
<p>Setting this section is mandatory, but it may remain empty. It provides a backend, which will be used whenever automx should serve a domain, but no section with domain-specific settings has been specified.</p>
<p>Other sections may either explicitly or implicitly refer to the [global] section as a whole. An explicit reference specifies global as backend property. Implicit references simply announce the domain in automx' domains list and omit an explicit section definition for that domain.</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">This is useful when many domains should use the same backend or when automx domain property configures it to run as wildcard service.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>[global]</p>
<p>The following example configures automx to query a LDAP directory service. Refer to automx_ldap(5) for a detailed discussion of parameters and their meaning:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[global]
