We have UCS hosted in Amazon (AWS) with LDAP enabled. I would like to have an option to send the invitation of UCS Univention to our users without manually sending the credentials to them. I researched and followed this article https://www.univention.com/blog-en/2019/04/ucs-4-4-self-services-new-features/. I already installed the Self Service but when creating user there is no option to Invite the user via email.
Can someone help me configure this? I’ve been looking for possible solutions for a week now it is hard for me to follow other articles as I am not familiar with other settings. so I need guidance on setting this up. I hope some can help me.
Yes, I did install the Mailserver app however the “Invite user via email. Password will be sent to their email” does not appear when I am creating a user on my Univention Admin dashboard. did I miss something? I hope you can help me.
have you checked, if all join scripts have been executed successfully?
→ Log in to UMC, select the UMC module Domain join and execute pending join scripts.
The invite user feature was added with UCS 4.4. The screenshot shows that univention-self-service is installed in version 3.xxx - that version is from UCS 4.3. Please update your UCS system to the latest version using the software update module, and the invite option should appear.
Please have a look at the UCS manual for general information about updating UCS. There are also release notes for each update which contain the changelog. Both can be found at https://docs.software-univention.de/
It is generally advised to reboot the UCS server after a release update was installed, see the release notes.
UCS Updates are done inplace. Generally, no additional configuration is required after an update - but this depends on the individual configuration of the server. See the release notes for more information.
I created a test server and successfully upgraded to the latest version and the “option to invite user via email” is now showing on the user management dashboard.
However, I do not receive any invitation on my email. with this, my next step was to install the mail server and I am looking where I can configure it? I am looking for an option where I can set or modify it to use our Google SMTP server. any advice, please?
