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 They may or may not get a 302 redirect if they visit http://

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

-Few quirks with this mode when using a version prior to 4.5.2

-On other versions when 'both' is selected, it defaults to 'mixed'

Beginning with ZCS 5.0:

redirect - like mixed, if the user goes to http:// it will redirect to https:// but they will STAY https:// for their entire session.

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, but in v5 this becomes jetty.


Also: Immediately check http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=SMTP_Auth_Problems to be sure everything's set correctly.
