Configuring your Thunderbird connector

Introduction

This article details the preferences that can be set in Mozilla Thunderbird to configure the OBM Connector.

What are Thunderbird preferences

Most of the settings you parameter in a Mozilla application ends up in some sort of registry, that are called the "preferences" are the "options". A registry entry got a type (string, number or boolean), a name, and a value.

To access the registry, open the preferences dialog of your Thunderbird, choose the Advanced tab, the General sub-tab, and then click on Config editor...

OBM connector preferences

Preference name type example value description
extensions.obm.server string https://example.com/obm-sync/services the URL to the OBM-SYNC handler
extensions.obm.obmUrl string https://example.com/ the URL to the OBM web interface
extensions.obm.autoconf.login string mmaudet the OBM login of the user
extensions.obm.rememberpassword boolean true set to true to have Thunderbird remember your password
extensions.obm.sso boolean true set to true if you're using OBM's internal, mini-SSO, false if using another SSO, such as LemonLDAP or a CAS server.

Note: extensions.obm.obmUrl is used when clicking on the OBM agenda and My Account buttons that are added by the connector to the Thunderbird bar.

Those parameters should be enough to start a synchronization.
