[Feature Request] dns and web-based autodiscovery for mail and other services

Open dphi opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Summary

There are a few dns records that help clients to do auto discovery,eg, for mail, caldav, and carddav. It would be great if Froxlor would make sure that they are in the DNS zones.

For domains with email support:

  • adding rfc6186 compatible records (This is related to #719 .)
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration defines autoconfig.domain
  • https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3211279/outlook-2016-implementation-of-autodiscover defines _autodiscover._tcp.domain in step 10.
  • The iOS feature would also be nice to have, see https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/blob/master/data/web/mobileconfig.php for an example.

Adding custom records to multiple domains managed by Froxlor would help too, eg, caldav, carddav see rfc6764

Thanks

how about the admin decides whether they should be added and how?

Side note: not very high priority as it's dns only related which is rarely used

Agreed, the admin has to configure which settings should be available for a given customer by default. Also: The customer should be able to override these.

Thanks

Customer can overwrite any entry via the dns editor if enabled already
