Problem

How to allow or disallow alias account to login to the webmail?

Solution

  • Execute the below command on the respective mailbox server to check the current status first. It will show TRUE or FALSE.
 zmlocalconfig alias_login_enabled
  • Execute the below command to disallow login to alias account.
 zmlocalconfig -e alias_login_enabled=false 
  • Execute the below command to allow login to alias account
 zmlocalconfig -e alias_login_enabled=true 
  • Once done with the above changes make sure to restart the mailbox services.
 zmmailboxdctl restart
  • If alias login is disabled and still somebody tries to login using alias account the log entry will show like follows in /opt/zimbra/log/audit.log
