Zimbra Variables

Ways to check on different zimbra variables.

su - zimbra
zmlocalconfig -i
zmlocalconfig -d
cd /opt/zimbra/conf/attrs
more zimbra-attrs.xml
cd /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/
more zimbra.schema

Made the following concerning zmlocalconfig's behavior:

Also, with newer versions of ZCS, you can get it via zmprov - for example:

#zmprov desc -a zimbraFreeBusyExchangeAuthScheme
    zimbraFreebusyExchangeAuthScheme
        auth scheme to use

                   type : enum
                  value : basic,form
               callback :
              immutable : false
            cardinality : single
             requiredIn :
             optionalIn : cos,domain,globalConfig,account
                  flags : accountInherited,domainInherited
               defaults :
                    min :
                    max :
                     id : 611
        requiresRestart :
                  since : 5.0.3
        deprecatedSince : 

Addition note, example, for those checking source : src/6.0.7/com/zimbra/cs/account/ProvUtil.java.html

Zimbra Contact Fields For CSV Import Mapping

Please see /opt/zimbra/conf/zimbra-contact-fields.xml

This will show you what "fields" Zimbra is looking for and mapping to in regards to importing from another applications contact csv files.

One easy way to do this is the following:

  • From zimbra ajax client as a test user (or any old user) do an export Addressbook.
    • This is under the preference tab > Address Book > Import / Export > Export - select Addressbook and click Export button
  • Then open file file something like Excel or a Text Editor
    • Your only interested in the Top line - that gives the default fields for a Zimbra Addressbook.
    • You'll get something like this:
"company","companyPhone","email2","fileAs","firstName","homepageURL","imAddress3","lastName","otherIMLabel","workCity","workCountry","workEmail2","workEmail3","workEmail4","workEmail5","workPostalCode","workState","workStreet"
    • Note, ordering [left to right] isn't important. What is important, is the data lines up under the right column header.
  • With your other Mail system, export the addressbook to a csv file.
    • Open this file in another Excel window.
  • Copy the column data from the one Excel sheet and paste it into the appropriate column within the Zimbra Excel sheet.
  • Move as much as you can and then save.
    • For example:
"company","companyPhone","email2","fileAs","firstName","homepageURL","imAddress3","lastName","otherIMLabel","workCity","workCountry","workEmail2","workEmail3","workEmail4","workEmail5","workPostalCode","workState","workStreet"
"Apple Computer Inc.","1-800-MY-APPLE","","3","","http://www.apple.com","","","","Cupertino","United States","","","","","95014","CA","1 Infinite Loop"
  • Now you can try importing this csv file back into Zimbra.
  • Either with the webclient or you can use some on the CLI commands
    • See User_Migration for variations of CLI commands that could be used.
    • Here's the documented example:
    • curl -u schemers:password --data-binary @/tmp/new.csv http://server/service/home/schemers/contacts?fmt=csv

Example Header For Horde Contacts

I have not used this myself, I found it on the forums.

"assistantPhone","birthday","callbackPhone","carPhone","company","companyPhone","email","email2","email3","firstName","fullName","homeCity","homeCountry","homeFax","homePhone","homePhone2","homePostalCode","homeState","homeStreet","homeURL","imAddress1","imAddress2","imAddress3","jobTitle","lastName","middleName","mobilePhone","notes","otherCity","otherCountry","otherFax","otherPhone","otherPostalCode","otherState","otherStreet","otherURL","pager","workCity","work"

I'm hoping the forum user simply renamed the top header column to match description fields that Zimbra knows and that it's in order of the data (left to right) that Horde normally exports in. You'll need to review it and make sure it fits with your exported data columns from Horde.

Admin With Curl And Wget

You will most likely need to include :7071 in the url string to get around the pop-up issue that you would get if you used the same string in a web browser, without :7071 you'll see a permission error when trying to see/get data from a users account via the admin account.

curl -u admin:pass https://hostname:7071/home/user/Contacts
wget https://admin:pass@hostname:7071/home/user/Contacts

What's My Server Like

To dump out your server details, these commands are useful. Login to your zimbra server and as the zimbra user do:

zmprov gs `zmhostname`
zmprov gacf
zmlocalconfig
zmdumpenv

Another good document to review for "odd performance" issues is the large server wiki.

http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Performance_Tuning_Guidelines_for_Large_Deployments

Restarting Jetty - ZCS 5+

As zimbra

zmmailboxdctl restart

How Do I Find Out What Version Of Zimbra I'm Using

See:

Get Version From Ajax Client

In newer versions of ZWC, the Help > About will also state the ZCS server version being used.

For older version, put the below in the search field of the Ajax client and hit enter:

$set:get version

Also:

https://SERVERNAME/js/zimbraMail/share/model/ZmSettings.js

Search for the CLIENT_VERSION line.

Other Ways To Get Version Of Server

See this forum post:

What's Compiled With Postfix

Moved to What's_Complies_With_Zimbra's_Postfix

REST Information

Resources to review

Format to get around permission denied on multi-domain hosting servers

If you getting permission denied rather than resource not found...try this format example:

http://MAILSTOREofUSER.DOMAIN.com/zimbra/user/FIRST.LAST@USERS_DOMAIN.com/inbox.zip

or

http://MAILSTOREofUSER.DOMAIN.com/zimbra/user/USERNAME@USERS_DOMAIN.com/inbox.zip

I but both in case one issue is where the username has special characters, like the period.
