User Account Definition
In Active Directory Users And Computers select the Users section. Choose the New User option to run the wizard for creating a new account.
The standard version of the wizard is extended with a folder that will be used to create a new account within Kerio MailServer.
Figure 2. User account definition
Now, tick the Create a KerioMailServer mailbox option to create in the database all items that Kerio MailServer will need to work with. Define the basic email address of a user with the Alias item (the user login name defined during the first step of the wizard will be used automatically).
Other account parameters may be defined in Properties. Click on the new user account with the right mouse button and select Properties in the context menu. Open the Kerio MailServer Account folder. This folder provides the following options:
Figure 3. Kerio MailServer Account tab
- Mail Account Enabled
- Activating this option you will allow the email account to be available in Kerio MailServer. If the option is off, the user account will be ignored by Kerio MailServer.
- E-mail Addresses
- Definition of email addresses (aliases) for a particular user. Under the default settings, each user has an email address created from the username and the name of the domain where the account has been defined.
- Forwarding
- Here, forwarding of mail to the desired email address may be defined. The Forward to: option can be used to forward mail addressed to the user to all addresses defined in this entry. The Deliver messages to both option can be used to forward the mail and to store it into the local mailbox (copies of the messages will be sent to defined addresses).
- Mailbox Limits
- Mailbox limitations according to the Storage size and Number of messages may be defined. Each limit option may be switched off by the Do not limit... option, thus the limitation will be ignored within the mailbox.
Figure 4. Mailbox Limits - WAP Settings
- Kerio MailServer enables access to email via cellular phones using WAP. This service can be enabled by using the Enable/Disable Access to WAP service option and by insertion of PIN (min. 4/max. 32 numbers) which will be used for later authentications.
- Administration Rights
- Definition of Kerio MailServer administration rights. The menu provides the following options to select from: No access to administration user is not allowed to access the Kerio MailServer administration. This option is used by default. Read only access to administration user is allowed to access the administration only to read it. User can connect to the server with Kerio Administration Console and view the settings, however, he/she is not allowed to edit the administration. Read/write access to administration full access to the administration. User is allowed to read and write in the administration. We recommend creating a local account for the Kerio MailServer administration (see chapter User Accounts). In case the Active Directory server is not accessible, administration of KMS will still be possible if the account is managed internally to KMS.
