# ownCloud 9.0 Server Administration Manual

# Univention Corporate Server

Subscribers to the ownCloud Enterprise edition can also integrate with UCS.

## Pre configuration

ownCloud makes use of the UCR, the Univention Configuration Registry. The values are read during installation, most of them can be changed later, too. Changes done directly via ownCloud are not taken over to UCR. We think we found sane defaults, nevertheless you might have your own requirements. The installation script will listen to the UCR keys listed below. If want to override any default setting, simply add the key in question to the UCR and assign your required value.

If you want to override the default settings, simply create the key in question in the UCR and assign your required value, for example:

    ucr set owncloud/user/enabled=1

or via UMC:

## Installation

Now, we are ready to install ownCloud. The recommended method is by using the UCS App Center.

### UCS App Center

Open the Univention Management Console and choose the App Center module. You will see a variety of available applications, including ownCloud. You can install and upgrade ownCloud from the App Center.

## Postconfiguration (optional)

There is only one local admin user “owncloudadmin”, you can find the password in /etc/owncloudadmin.secret. Use this account, if you want to change basic ownCloud settings.

In the installation process a virtual host is set up (Apache is required therefore). If you want to modify the settings, edit `/etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud` and restart the Web server. You might want to do it to enable HTTPS connections. Besides that, you can edit the .htaccess-File in /var/www/owncloud/. In the latter file the PHP limits for file transfer are also specified.

## Using ownCloud

If you decided to enable every user by default to use ownCloud, simply open up http://myserver.com/owncloud/ and log in with your LDAP credentials and enjoy.

If you did not, go to the UMC and enable the users who shall have access (see picture below). Then, login at http://myserver.com/owncloud/ with your LDAP credentials.

Updating users can also be done by the script `/usr/share/owncloud/update-users.sh` . It takes the following UCR variables as parameters: owncloud/user/enabled for enabling or disabling, owncloud/user/quota as the Quota value and owncloud/join/users/filter as LDAP filter to select the users to update.

### Groups

Groups can be enabled and disabled via UCM as shown in the screen shot below.

Another way to enable or disable groups is to use the script `/usr/share/owncloud/update-groups.sh`. Currently, it takes an argument which can be 1=enable groups or 0=disable groups. The filter applied is taken from the UCR variable owncloud/join/groups/filter. If it is empty, a message will be displayed.
