CLI zmtlsctl to set Web Server Mode

Revision as of 16:22, 5 September 2007 by Mmorse (talk | contribs)

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 woudl browse to https://zimbra.domain.com They may or may not get a 302 redirect if they visit http://zimbra.domain.com

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

both - A user can go to http://zimbra.domain.com or https://zimbra.domain.com and will keep that mode for their entire session (few quirks with this mode when using a version prior to 4.5.2)

Introduced in v5:

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

Steps to run

1.

Type zmtlsctl [mode] , press Enter.

2.

3.

Note: In you can also use tomcat stop/start, but in v5 this becomes jetty.
