Plesk Integration

Integrate Open-Xchange with Plesk

This document describes how to integrate Open-Xchange with Plesk.

Requirements

In order to integrate Open-Xchange with Plesk, the Open-Xchange APS package must be used. This requires the following versions of Plesk and the APS package:

• Open-Xchange APS package version 7.2 and above (Not yet available).
• Parallels Plesk Panel version 11.5 and above

Older versions are not supported.

Download

Download the APS package from the APS catalogue

Install and configure Open-Xchange

Before you continue, you have to find out your requirements on how to integrate your Plesk instance(s) with Open-Xchange. There are two possible scenarios:

One Open-Xchange installation for one Plesk Installation

You want to serve one Plesk system with one single Open-Xchange installation or you are the only one managing the Plesk servers.

One Open-Xchange installation fo many Plesk systems

You want to resell many Plesk systems but only use one single Open-Xchange installation.

Note: Finding the correct scenario is important as it is hard to change later!

The main problem is, that usually on Open-Xchange, you have ONE single "root" account to provision contexts/tenants in Open-Xchange. The name of this account is usually oxadminmaster, but it can be renamed to what ever you like. Now imagine there's a scenario where not you, but your customers should create contexts. This is usually the case when you are a reseller. In this case you do not want to hand out that single "root" account to all your customers.

Fortunately, Open-Xchange has a solution for that. It is called the Reseller_Bundle.

Roughly summarised, if you are a Reseller you most likely need Plesk_Integration#One_Open-Xchange_installation_fo_many_Plesk_systems
