Zimbra Suite Plus - Client Zimlet

Zimbra Suite Plus - Client Zimlet

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet

Along with the huge changes and improvements for all existing modules featured in Zimbra Suite Plus 2.0, a new component called "Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet" has been added to Zimbra Suite Plus.

This new entry allows end users to access new Zimbra Suite Plus features, along with some old ones which were previously available only in the Zimbra Suite Plus Administration Console.

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet is 100% free, it requires the Zimbra Suite Plus Core to be functional and its deployment is not mandatory.

Features

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet is more than a simple Zimlet: it's an evolving tool that will be expanded and extended over time to provide the best Zimbra experience possible to end users.

Current Features

Planned Features

Deploying the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet

Deploying the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet is easy, and can be done via the Zimbra Suite Plus Administration Zimlet.

In order to deploy the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet:

  • Log into the Zimbra Administration Console
  • Enter the "Core" section of the Zimbra Suite Plus Administration Zimlet
  • Click on the "Deploy" button under "Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet"

Once deployed, the zimlet will appear in the deployed zimlets list as "com_zextras_client".

Zimbra Suite Plus CLI

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet can be also deployed using a dedicated Zimbra Suite Plus CLI command:

 zxsuite core doDeployClientZimlet

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet in multiserver environments

Deploying the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet on multiserver infrastructures requires the same steps as it does on singleserver environments. The Zimlet is deployed in LDAP, so you'll need to only deploy it once regardless of the number of mailbox servers on your infrastructure.

Enabling the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet

As for any client zimlet, after the deployment the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet will be only enabled for users belonging to the default COS.

You can enable the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet for your users in the following ways:

  • Per user - through the "Zimlets" section of each user's settings within the Zimbra Administration Console
  • Per COS - through the "Zimlets" section of each Class of Service's settings within the Zimbra Administration Console
  • Via the Zimbra CLI through the `zmzimletctl` command.

Updating the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet

The Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet will be automatically updated by the Zimbra Suite Plus Installer when updating Zimbra Suite Plus. Should this update fail, pressing the "Deploy" button mentioned above will deploy the latest version available.

Removing the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet

You can enable the Zimbra Suite Plus Client Zimlet for your users in the following ways:

  • By clicking the "Undeploy" button next to the related entry in the "Configure -> Zimlets" section of the Zimbra Administration Console
  • Via the Zimbra CLI through the `zmzimletctl` command.
