CLI zmtlsctl to set Web Server Mode

zmtlsctl

This command is used to set the Web server zimbraMailMode to the different communication protocol options. All modes use SSL encryption for back-end administrative traffic & the admin console.

The webserver has to be stopped and restarted for the change to take effect. Though a full zmcontrol stop/start certainly can't hurt.

Syntax

zmtlsctl [mode]

mode choices:

http - http only, the user would browse to http://zimbra.domain.com

https - https only, the user would browse to https://zimbra.domain.com They may or may not get a 302 redirect if they visit http://

mixed - If the user goes to http:// it will redirect to https:// for the login only, then will revert to http:// for normal session traffic. If they browse to https:// then they will stay https://

both - A user can go to http:// or https:// and will keep that mode for their entire session

-Few quirks with this 'both' mode, on older versions there was some problems, but it seems to have worked fine from 4.5.2 to 4.5.5 So now when 'both' is selected, it defaults to 'mixed'

which is actually because of: http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5594

(so please test your functionality afterwards if you have attempted 'both' mode)

Beginning with ZCS 5.0:

redirect - like mixed, if the user goes to http:// it will redirect to https:// but they will stay https:// for their entire session.
