• Delivers directory data to native clients
• Provides authentication back-end for WebDAV component

Cantina did not customize this component. We did, however, generate custom access controls to permit more sophisticated authentication of personal and group contact management through native LDAP clients.

• Provides IMAP and POP3 access to e-mail store

Cantina did not customize this component. We designed RPM-based packaging and performed custom configurations, including provisioning Cyrus to use Kerberos for authentication.

• Provides mail transport service (i.e., relay, forwarding and invocation of local delivery agent; aka the MTA)

Cantina did not customize this component. We repackaged Sendmail to include support for transport layer security (TLS) and SMTP authentication (primarily for Outlook clients).

• Services Cantina's "webtop" code
• Supports WebDAV and free/busy functionality

• Provides access to file repositories

Cantina did not customize this component. However, as mod_dav does not provide authentication services, the Groupware product contains custom software that manages access and authorization for use of the personal and group file stores.

• Provides web-based e-mail access

Cantina has modified SquirrelMail in several areas to integrate it with our webtop, including automating the login (for single sign-on).

SOY is the core groupware middleware that provides an API (application programming interface) to service all the functional components. That is, SOY manages all of the third-party and custom software components that have been integrated into Cantina Groupware. It stores the account meta data in a database and uses kerberos for master authentication.

The Webtop provides a web-based interface to all Groupware functions: login, home, e-mail, files, directory, calendar, contacts, settings, admin, logout. The Webtop is the primary administration tool and the primary interface for managing published, network-based personal calendars.

Cantina Groupware offers wireless access to a subset of the Webtop functions using a Palm or PocketPC device. Cantina also wrote a stand-alone Palm Directory application that provides native directory services for wireless Palms, permitting searching of the LDAP directories and import into the native Palm address book.

MaguroAuth is a custom module that provides authentication and authorization functions for the WebDAV file stores.

"build" is Cantina's automated install set build system. It prepares an install set (scripts and packages) that new servers can pull over the network or from local media. It takes care of retrieving and building our custom Groupware code, as well as all of the third-party software, including Perl code (from CPAN) and all binary packages.

The Groupware installer manages installations and upgrades of Cantina Groupware from an install set that is created by the build process. The installer is an interactive, full-screen utility that allows the system administrator to configure and customize the Groupware software for a company's domain, network, and related system configurations. No special developer tools (such as compilers) are required.
