CASIFYING ZIMBRA COLLABORATION SUITE 5 This document allows guiding you in the process of cassifying Zimbra Collaboration Suite 5.

Installation of the Cas Client To download the CAS Client Java 2.1.0 go to "http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/downloads/" Uncompresse the downloaded file: # tar xzvf cas-client-java-2.1.0.tar.gz Navigate to the casclient jar file ("/cas-client-java-2.1.0 /dist") and copy the file "casclient.jar" Go to the lib file in Jetty ("/opt/zimbra/jetty/common/lib") and paste the casclient jar file.

Configuration of the Server Zimbra Edit the file "zimbra.web.xml.in" (/opt/zimbra/jetty/etc) Add the following information after sections "<filter>" and "<filter-mapping>" and before the first section of "<servlet>" (by adapting them): //A ScreenShot is missing

Generation of the SSL_Certificate with Java Keytool

Important Note: It is necessary to delete the certificate if it already exists by using the following commands:

  1. keytool -delete -alias cas -keystore %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts
  2. Keytool -delete -alias cas -file server.cert

If you have no name of the generated certificate either that these commands do not work well, you can directly delete files ".keystore" (In the directory home of the user: "/root") and "cacerts" (In the directory "/jdk/jre/lib/security")

  1. rm /opt/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts
  2. rm /root/.keystore


Generate the certificate by the following command:

  1. keytool -genkey -alias cas -keypass changeit -keyalg RSA

Enter ‘changeit’ for the password Answer the list of questions. //A ScreenShot is missing

Export the certificate you generated from your personal keystore by the following command:

  1. keytool -export -alias cas -keypass changeit -file server.cert

Enter ‘changeit’ for the password. //A ScreenShot is missing

Import the certificate into Java's keystore with this command:

  1. keytool -import -alias cas -file server.cert -keypass changeit -keystore %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts

Enter ‘changeit’ for the password. Answer by 'oui' to add the certificate to the keystore. //A ScreenShot is missing

Validation of the Certificate: Download the class "InstallCert.java" from the link: "http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/resource/InstallCert.java" (Attachements) Add the modifications put in fat by adapting them: //A ScreenShot is missing

Compile and execute the class downloaded by the commands:

  1. javac InstallCert.java

Launch the CAS Server and execute the following command:

  1. java InstallCert

//A ScreenShot is missing


Answer the composed question by typing "Enter" //A ScreenShot is missing

Execute the zmprov command: Launch the Server Zimbra Under the user "zimbra", execute the command:

  1. zmprov gdpak Domaine_Name

(This will create a preAuthKey" as this one: "45a9743161d93f5c2e2194890bca9c1452e45078844ea0134e357709bf11a06f")

Note: To force the execution of the command zmprov you can add the option "-f" and the command will be: zmprov gdpak -f Domaine_Name


Configure the page "preauth.jsp" (Attachements): Under the user "root", copy the page "preauth.jsp" in the directory: "/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra" Replace the "DOMAIN_KEY" with the key which you produced with the "zmprov" in the previous stage. //A ScreenShot is missing


Modify the following lines towards the end of the JSP page, by substituting "domaine-name" by your domain: //A ScreenShot is missing

Restart Zimbra to identify the new "jar" and the files of configuration:

  1. su root
  2. su - zimbra
  3. zmcontrol stop
  4. zmcontrol start

Test the Cassified Zimbra’s Server: Lunch the CAS server Launch Zimbra in the Web browser with the url "http://ecm.ecmteggo.tp/zimbra/preauth.jsp" If everything is set up correctly you will be redirected to the CAS server’s login screen.File:Example.jpg
