Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync POST not work

somogyi 2021-01-06 14:22:57 UTC #1

We have tested the Active sync feature in egroupware. The problem is when i create an event in windows calendar, its not write back to the server.

Can you help with this?

Thank you

Windows 10 default calendar app.

Ah, OK.
Never looked at it before.

I have now created an EGw ActiveSync account in it on a Win 10 test system. I can create, move, change appointments on both sides, … The changes always arrive on both sides immediately. Thanks to Push in EGw, the appointments are also “moved” immediately in EGw.

So I can’t detect any problem for now.

Hi Zoli.

Preferences:

Here you can take some configurations AND activate the logging.

But there is no setting what could cause your problem(?).

See what you get out of logging.

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for the screenshots. I’ve setup (with full fresh installed Windows 10) based on your screens and maked some tests.
It works for a few hours/days. After that i get an error in windows calnedar:

Additional info:
We use Nginx proxy for Egroupware. I’ve have to changed this section:

From:
location /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
include proxy_params;
# RB changed to 60m (from 20m) because that is length of zPush ping requests
proxy_read_timeout 60m;

To:
location /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync;
include proxy_params;
# RB changed to 60m (from 20m) because that is length of zPush ping requests
proxy_read_timeout 60m;

If it work at moment, its a caotic working. I can create event in Windows and appear in Egw, but when making changes in Egroupware, not sync to the Windows calendar.

What can cause this?

Thanks,
Zoli

   proxy_read_timeout    60m;
}

This change has no effect at all!
If no path is given after the proxy-url, it uses the path from the location, so both give the exact same result.

You must have an other problem.

You might need to kill the ActiveSync session, to get it to start logging / read the changed preference.

Hi Ralf,

I agreed this, okay, thank you.

I’ve killed all activesync session for the test user (and reconnect) and still shows empty log window.

Is it possible to access more logs somewhere?

Thank you!

Ive maked some tests with Thunderbird (with activesync):
Only sync that events where i am the chair. Invitations from others not showing up.
