[sync] Littles questions about SyncML

[Gerard Breiner]

Hi Mike, Jens,

Yes Jens, I did the test  in firefox horde5.domain/Microsoft-Server-ActiveServer and it return a blanck page but  the apache logs  testified that there is a login redirection.
[LOG]
[13/Jan/2013:19:29:49 +0100] "GET /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/ HTTP/1.1" 200 20 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0"
amontsouris-163-1-58-255.w90-2.abo.wanadoo.fr - - [13/Jan/2013:19:29:49 +0100] "GET /login.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhorde5.domain%2Ffavicon.ico&horde_logout_token=pnsCMBD_lBjPt-XOPBjccQ1&app=horde HTTP/1.1" 200 2030 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0"
[/LOG].

Yet the alias in my apache config is correct : 
DocumentRoot  /www/horde5
Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /www/horde5/rpc.php

Another test with the url horde5.domain/rpc.php display what it is expected :
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope><SOAP-ENV:Body><SOAP-ENV:Fault><faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Bad Request</faultstring></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Then I want to test the Alias's directive syntax, so I create a file phpinfo.php and add the line phpinfo() 
Then in apache config : Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /www/horde5/phpinfo.php 
Then service apache2 reload
Then the url horde5.domain/Microsoft-Server-ActiveServer in firefox  display what it is expected.

Therefore there is an issue with "Alias /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync /www/horde5/rpc.php" but the syntax seems correct.  

Thanks to both of you.

Gérard

>> Might the login.php call be made because the aliasing of /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync to rpc.php failed for whatever (configuration) issue, causing H5 to take it a as regular web request, noticing that no login session was available yet and thus redirecting the call to the "login wrapper"? That would indeed point to a mis-configured server.
