Best-Practice Recommendations for a Secure Zimbra Configuration

The following recommendations are provided to ensure a best-practice security configuration. This includes the following:

  • Require encrypted logins
  • Requiring secure interprocess communications

Services

Most secure is to only allow secure methods of accessing the system; however, be careful in making these changes, as all processes need to be configured to connect only to upstream encrypted listeners.

1. Configure the proxy to only offer encrypted protocols

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraReverseProxyMailMode https

2. Require Proxy to connect to upstream via SSL

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraReverseProxySSLToUpstreamEnabled TRUE

Encrypted Logins

1. HTTPS

zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraMailClearTextPasswordEnabled
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMailClearTextPasswordEnabled FALSE

2. IMAP4-SSL

zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraImapCleartextLoginEnabled
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraImapCleartextLoginEnabled FALSE
zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraReverseProxyImapStartTlsMode
zimbraReverseProxyImapStartTlsMode: only

3. POP3-SSL

zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraPop3CleartextLoginEnabled
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraPop3CleartextLoginEnabled FALSE

zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraReverseProxyPop3StartTlsMode
zimbraReverseProxyPop3StartTlsMode: only

Secure Interprocess Communication

1. Make sure LDAP is supporting STARTTLS - should be set to "1":

zmlocalconfig ldap_starttls_supported

2. Require interprocess security - should be set to 1:

zmlocalconfig zimbra_require_interprocess_security

3. Require secure LDAP from mailboxd - should be set to "true":

zmlocalconfig ldap_starttls_required
