What To Do Or Check

First, make sure your TIME is set right! See Time_Zones_in_ZCS#The_server_OS

Though I'm still investigating why this is happening for our customers, the root issues seem to be resolved by the following. Some of the auth errors will be logged to /var/log/zimbra.log and /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

Put the output of this command in a text file:

zmlocalconfig -s | grep password

These should match what's in /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml

Now, compare the passwords with what is in your restore. Put in your path of the restore specific directory.

vi /opt/zimbra/backup/sessions/YOUR_DIR/sys/localconfig.xml

Do a /password or the full variable in vi to see what the old passwords are. You'll need to adjust the following below. Remember to copy a backup.

cp /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml.DR

• ldap_postfix_password
  • vi /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml and put in the needed password
• ldap_amavis_password
  • vi /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml and put in the needed password
