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 http:// is denied.

mixed - If the user goes to http:// it will switch 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.

redirect - Added to ZCS 5.0; Like mixed if the user goes to http:// it will switch to https:// but they will stay https:// for their entire session.

(See also Redirect_http_to_https for 4.5)

Steps to run

1.

Type zmtlsctl [mode] , press Enter.

2.

Type zmcontrol stop , press Enter.

3.

after everything stops, type zmcontrol start , press Enter.

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

Afterwards: Check SMTP_Auth_Problems to be sure the auth url is set correctly.
