How to create contact and contact group from CLI using Zmsoap command?
Problem
How to create contact and contact group from CLI using Zmsoap command and add local contact and GAL contact in the contact group?
Solution
Create a local contact through the Zmsoap command.
Create the SOAP XML as per Zimbra SOAP API - /tmp/createcontact.xml and add the following line to this file and save it :
<CreateContactRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraMail"> <cn l="7"> <a n="firstName">Test</a> <a n="lastName">Test</a> <a n="homeStreet">Test street</a> <a n="mobilePhone">8000062359</a> <a n="fullName">Test, Test</a> <a n="email">test@gmail.com</a> </cn> </CreateContactRequest>
Run the below command to create a local contact :
$zmsoap -v -z -m user@domain.com -f /tmp/createcontact.xml
Create a contact group through Zmsoap.
Create the SOAP XML as per Zimbra SOAP API - /tmp/createcontact_group.xml and add the following line to this file and save :
<CreateContactRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraMail"> <cn l="7"> <a n="fileAs">8:testgroup</a> <a n="nickname">testgroup</a> <a n="type">group</a> <a n="fullName">testgroup</a> </cn> </CreateContactRequest>
Run the below command to create a contact group :
$zmsoap -v -z -m user@domain.com -f /tmp/createcontact.xml
Add the local contact in contact group.
$zmsoap -v -z -m user@domain.com ModifyContactRequest/cn @id=group_id m/@op="+" @type="C" @value="contact_id"
Here "group_id" is contact group ID and "contact_id" is the local contact ID.
Run the following command to get group_id and contact_id :
$zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com gact >/tmp/getall_contact.txt
Both group_id and contact_id can be found in this file /tmp/getall_contact.txt.
Add the GAL contact in contact group.
$zmsoap -v -z -m test2@domain.com ModifyContactRequest/cn @id=group_id m/@op="+" @type="G" @value="uid=Gopal,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com"
Here "group_id" is a contact group ID and "uid=Gopal,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com" GAL contact that needs to be added to the contact group.
Contact gopal@domain.com is saved in LDAP in this format "uid=Gopal,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com" , replace UID with the actual contact name and domain.
