# ownCloud Administrators Manual

# Univention Corporate Server

Subscribers to the ownCloud Enterprise edition can also integrate with UCS.

## Pre configuration

ownCloud makes use of the UCR, the Univention Configuration Registry. The values are being read during installation, most of them can be changed later, too. Changes done directly via ownCloud are not taken over to UCR. We think we found sane defaults, nevertheless you might have your own requirements. The installation script will listen to the UCR keys listed below. In case you want to override any default setting, simply add the key in question to the UCR and assign your required value.

If you want to override the default settings, simply create the key in question in the UCR and assign your required value, for example:

    ucr set owncloud/user/enabled=1

or via UMC:

## Installation

Now, we are ready to install ownCloud. This can be either done through the UCS App Center (recommended) or by downloading the packages.

### UCS App Center

Open the Univention Management Console and choose the App Center module. You will see a variety of available applications, including ownCloud.

Click on ownCloud 5 and follow the instructions.

In the UCS App Center, you can also upgrade from ownCloud 4.5 by installing ownCloud 5.0. They are provided as separate apps. It is only possible to have one version of ownCloud installed.

### Manually by download

Download the integration packages from our website and install them from within your download folder (note: the package owncloud-unsupported is optional) via command line:

    dpkg -i owncloud*.deb

ownCloud will be configured to fully work with LDAP.

### Reinstallation

When ownCloud was installed before and uninstalled via AppCenter or via command line using apt-get remove, ownCloud can be simply installed again. The old configuration will be used again.

When an older ownCloud was installed and has been purged (only possible via command line using apt-get purge) the old configuration is gone, but data is left. This blocks an installation. You can either install the old version and upgrade to ownCloud 5 or (re)move the old data. This is done by removing the MySQL database “ownCloud” using the command line:

    mysql -u root -e "DROP DATABASE owncloud" -p`tail /etc/mysql.secret

In this case you probably also want to remove the data directory /var/lib/owncloud although this is not mandatory.

## Postconfiguration (optional)

There is only one local admin user “owncloudadmin”, you can find his password in /etc/owncloudadmin.secret. Use this account, if you want to change basic ownCloud settings.

In the installation process a virtual host is set up (Apache is required therefore). If you want to modify the settings, edit `/etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud` and restart the web server. You might want to do it to enable HTTPS connections. Besides that, you can edit the .htaccess-File in /var/www/owncloud/. In the latter file there are also the PHP limits for file transfer specified.

## Using ownCloud

If you decided to enable every user by default to use ownCloud, simply open up http://myserver.com/owncloud/ and log in with your LDAP credentials and enjoy.

If you did not, go to the UMC and enable the users who shall have access (see picture below). Then, login at http://myserver.com/owncloud/ with your LDAP credentials.

Updating users can also be done by the script `/usr/share/owncloud/update-users.sh` . It takes the following UCR variables as parameters: owncloud/user/enabled for enabling or disabling, owncloud/user/quota as the Quota value and owncloud/join/users/filter as LDAP filter to select the users to update.

### Groups 2012.4.0.4

Since ownCloud Enterprise 2012.4.0.4 group support is enabled. Groups, that are activated for ownCloud usage, can be used to share files to instead of single users, for example. It is also important to note, that users can only share within groups where they belong to. Groups can be enabled and disabled via UCM as shown in the screen shot below.

Another way to enable or disable groups is to use the script `/usr/share/owncloud/update-groups.sh`. Currently, it takes an argument which can be 1=enable groups or 0=disable groups. The filter applied is being taken from the UCR variable owncloud/join/groups/filter. In case it is empty, a message will be displayed.
