Zimbra Automation
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
- The second script:
- assigns a value to the zimbraSignatureId attribute.
- assigns the value from zimbraSignatureId, to the zimbraPrefDefaultSignatureId attribute.
- assigns the value from zimbraSignatureId, to the zimbraPrefForwardReplySignatureId attribute.
Where are these values in AdminUI
In the below photo we have two color rectangles, one green and one red . The first script is concerned with editing the values in the green and the second script is changing the values within the red rectangle.
