Afterlogic Aurora is a secure, self-hosted groupware and collaboration platform designed for businesses, corporate teams, and hosting providers. It functions as a private cloud environment that unifies email, file storage, calendars, and corporate contacts into a single web interface. Core Capabilities
Unified Workspace: Consolidates everyday corporate tasks by integrating a full-featured webmail client, a collaborative calendar, an address book, and a file storage module into one single installation.
Flexible Email Integration: It can connect seamlessly as a front-end to your existing IMAP mail server or operate as an all-in-one standalone solution with its own mail server capabilities.
Paranoid Encryption: It features browser-based, end-to-end AES-256 encryption. File and PGP email encryption processes occur entirely in the user’s browser. Because encryption keys are never transmitted to the server, data remains safe even in the event of a total server breach.
Aurora Files: A self-hosted storage and sharing platform that enables teams to collaborate, share secure external links, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations online through built-in OnlyOffice integration. Technical Details & Synchronization
Technology Stack: Built on a highly accessible PHP framework, it supports MySQL or MariaDB databases and runs smoothly on both Linux and Windows servers using Apache, NGINX, or IIS.
Data Protocols: Utilizes CalDAV, CardDAV, and optional ActiveSync protocols. This allows users to sync contacts and calendars natively across platforms, including an Outlook Sync Plugin for Windows desktop environments.
Mobile Ecosystem: Provides dedicated Aurora Mail and Aurora Files mobile apps for iOS and Android. Users can log in using just their email and password without needing to manually configure intricate IMAP or SMTP server settings.
Integrations: Fully supports third-party cloud connections (like Google Drive and Dropbox) alongside corporate LDAP/Active Directory authentication architecture.
