User interface "funamboladmin"

The only way to configure funambol is trought it's ui. For this open funamboladmin with /opt/Funambol/admin/bin/funamboladmin login and search for user admin.

Changing admin password

The first thing you should do is to change the admin password (ds is not a secure pass).

Enter editing it, just change and save.

After changing admin password is most likely that you'll have to close and reopen funamboladmin.

Adding users

Just go to users tab and click "Add user" or right click users and click "Add user"

This is not necesary as users will be created from clients, but that way you can configure push mail before the client connects.

Adding devices

The process is exactly the same as users but in "Devices" tab. So not much to say here.

Ading principals

Principals are associations of users and devices. Just a device associated with a user.

That way with funambol you can have multiple users using the same device and multiple devices by a single user.

Adding a principal is also nothing. It's automagically done, if you want add some you can go to Principals and right-click, then "Add principal".

Now just select a user and a device (remember they won't appear alone, you've got to make a search)

Email conector and inbox listener

Really, this part is well documented by funambol guys. This enables your users to sync mail trought their devices with same user and do push mail. Basically you'll add a public server to mail servers and you'll link it with the user.

Configuring push mail

Just go to FunambolEmailConnector tab and select a user record (you know, the search stuff), then check in "Enable push" User has to be linked with a mail server.

Testing

Funambol comes with a great testing tool java written (warn: slow, and it's not just the topic)

Notes about the UI

• You can make right click here and press add new user.
• Users, principal and devices are automatically created from clients.
• You might want to create users manually for setting up mail sync on a non-yet-created user.

Oficial docs

This is a great pdf tool. Even tough some things about the ui and its problems are (obviously) not documented here.
