HowTo

The CommuniGate ADAP module implements an ACAP server for TCP/IP networks.

The ACAP protocol allows a client (mailer) application to connect to the Server computer and upload and download the application preferences, configuration settings and other datasets (such as personal address books).

Configuring the ACAP module

Use a Web browser to configure the ACAP module. Open the Access page in the WebAdmin Settings section.

Serving ACAP Clients
Log:  
Channels: listener
Log
Use this setting to specify what kind of information the ACAP module should put in the Server Log. Usually you should use the Major (password modification reports) or Problems (non-fatal errors) levels. But when you experience problems with the ACAP module, you may want to set the Log Level setting to Low-Level or All Info: in this case protocol-level or link-level details will be recorded in the System Log as well.

The ACAP module records in the System Log are marked with the ACAP tag.

channels
When you specify a non-zero value for the TCP/IP Channels setting, the ACAP module creates a so-called "listener" on the specified port. The module starts to accept all ACAP connections that mail clients establish in order to updates password data. This setting is used to limit the number of simultaneous connections the ACAP module can accept. If there are too many incoming connections open, the module will reject new connections, and the user should retry later.
If the number of channels is set to zero, the ACAP module closes the listener and releases (unbinds from) the TCP port.

listener
By default, the ACAP module Listener accepts clear text connections on the TCP port 674. Follow the listener link to tune the ACAP Listener.

The ACAP module supports the STARTTLS command that allows client mailers to establish a connection in the clear text mode and then turn it into a secure connection.
