CLI zmtlsctl to set Web Server Mode

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

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.
