Nevada to OpenSolaris Sun Ray on SPARC (part 4 - imapd)

Had another go at building UOW imapd. This time I’m going to try with the studio12 compiler after a brief exchange with George Shepherd who has managed to get this to build.

$ pfexec pkg install developer/sunstudio12u1

Changed src/osdep/unix/Makefile so that

CC=/usr/bin/cc
SSLCERTS=/etc/openssl/certs
SSLKEYS=$(SSLCERTS)
SSLINCLUDE=/usr/include/openssl
SSLLIB=/usr/lib

It looks like you need to install this by hand. Note that I’m only installing imapd. I am really not interested in pop.

$ pfexec cp imapd/imapd /usr/sbin

Then if we are going to use SSL then we need a certificate. For my purposes I create a self signed one that will last 10 years. I’m going to have to do this again when I rename the machine.

# cd /etc/openssl/certs
# openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 3650
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
.....................................++++++

writing new private key to 'imapd.pem'
-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) []:AU
State or Province Name (full name) []:NSW
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Gordon
Organization Name (eg, company) []:Oracle
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:TSC
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:sb2000-b.aus.sun.com
Email Address []:

It appears to be crucial to get the fully qualified hostname as the common name.

Now we can add the imap services to /etc/inetd.conf

imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/imapd     imapd
imaps   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/imapd     imapd

and then add it into SMF

$ pfexec inetconv
imap -> /lib/svc/manifest/network/imap-tcp.xml
Importing imap-tcp.xml ...Done
imaps -> /lib/svc/manifest/network/imaps-tcp.xml
Importing imaps-tcp.xml ...Done

Configure it up into thunderbird and wonder of wonders, it looks like it works.

Update #1

I forgot to mention the make command that I used to build it was:

$ make soc

Next trick will be Sun Ray Server.
