* The first script does the following:
:set the default path to zmprov.
:sets the zimbraPrefMailSignatureEnabled attribute to TRUE.
:sets a variable called ''signature''.
:assigns to this variable different attribute values, that are assign to that user in LDAP. In this example: (^cn|^ou|^company|^street|^telephoneNumber|^mobile|^title). The attributes can be changed as per the admin needs.
:the last line modifies the account, as it writes the values from LDAP to the signature of the user.

Zimbra automation using scripting.


How to change users's individual signatures based on their ldap attributes globally

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to show how to create a simple script which, can modify every user's signature globally, based on their ldap attribute values in ldap.

Resolution

For the purpose we will use two scripts. In the process I will explain why combining the two scripts into one will not work.

Script 1

#!/bin/bash
  
path="/opt/zimbra/bin"
  
     for i in `/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaa`  
      do
       echo -ne "Checking account: $i \t"
       $path/zmprov ma $i zimbraPrefMailSignatureEnabled TRUE
       
       signature=`$path/zmprov ga $i | egrep "(^cn|^ou|^company|^street|^telephoneNumber|^mobile|^title)" | cut -d : -f 2 | sed 's/^\ //g'`
       $path/zmprov ma $i zimbraPrefMailSignature "$signature"
       
       echo "done!"

    done
  • The first script does the following:
set the default path to zmprov.
sets the zimbraPrefMailSignatureEnabled attribute to TRUE.
sets a variable called signature.
assigns to this variable different attribute values, that are assign to that user in LDAP. In this example: (^cn|^ou|^company|^street|^telephoneNumber|^mobile|^title). The attributes can be changed as per the admin needs.
the last line modifies the account, as it writes the values from LDAP to the signature of the user.

Script 2

#!/bin/bash
  
  path="/opt/zimbra/bin"
  
    for i in `/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l gaa`  
     do
       echo -ne "Adding SignatureID to account: $i \t"

       signatureid=`$path/zmprov ga $i zimbraSignatureId | sed -n '2p' | cut -d : -f 2 | sed 's/^\ //g'`
       $path/zmprov ma $i zimbraPrefDefaultSignatureId "$signatureid"
       $path/zmprov ma $i zimbraPrefForwardReplySignatureId "$signatureid"
      echo "done!"
     done
