zimbra-conf fails with ERROR: account.AUTH_FAILED (Solved)

Firstly Alex, thanks for reporting this issue. I am still not sure how it got passed our Q&A, as everything worked as expected during testing.

I successfully confirmed the above described problem. To workaround this issue please add the following lines (bold) before # initialize documents (notebook wiki):

# restart zimbra services for changes to take effect
$ZM_SUDO "$ZM_BIN/zmcontrol stop"
$ZM_SUDO "$ZM_BIN/zmcontrol start"

# initialize documents (notebook wiki)
WIKIUSER=wiki@${DOMAIN}

With regards to using a subdomain different to the default mail, the following change should work:

FQDN=mail.${DOMAIN}         # before
FQDN=groupware.${DOMAIN}    # after

Please report back whether the above helps.

Hi, imported the appliance to virtual box. followed the instructions above except for the subdomain. I ran

/usr/local/bin/zimbra-conf certified.local xxxxx

everything ran fine but when I tried to log in as admin and password xxxxx, it hangs. I tried loging in using the default password it does the same thing.

Can you help?

thanks Abdul

Hi,

Thanks you for the replay, it was lame of me not to include @domain name.  I added 2 users but zimbra is not sending emails among them. any idea

Dear All,

The work around provided by ALon works perfectly everytime bth on virtual machines as well as physical hardware. So please make sure your file edits are perfect.

I have however moved on from this appliance for the following reasons:

1: No Multidisk support for software raid (md and mdadm) in the manual partitioning at setup of the disks. A MAJOR issue for me.

2: Not Zimbra 6

3: Not flexible enough if you want to go down the path of multiple server deployments (cluster etc..)

Having said all that though for small deployments in a virtualised environment it does what it says on the can.

Ken has a point though that if you have to tweak an install too much you might as well make a custom install, and the procedure found on the ZImbra wiki for Ubuntu 8.04 install is really easy.

Hi what went wrong at my projekt ?

I went ahead and changed the "/etc/hosts" file to reflect the correct hostname, etc.

(1)  Changed the entry within the "/etc/hostname" from "zimbra" to "xmail".

(2)  Modified the "/etc/hosts" file:

root@xmail:/etc# more hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost xmail.domain.net
127.0.1.1       zimbra
10.32.214.xxx   srvrxxx        srvrxxx.dmz.domain.net
aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx  xmail           xmail.domain.net

Rebooted several times, and finally got it to take the effects.  Now, I've got an increasing number of "Deferred" emails.  Again, I CAN send email OK, just not receive it.

Also, an annoying little @&*$^@ involving the "/etc/resolv.conf" file.  Need to add additional nameservers.  Current nameserver is nameserver for "dmz.domain.net".  Need to add the 3 nameservers for "domain.net".  Any suggestions?

Last, if I have the Zimbra admin port (7071) NAt'd to something else, say "666" (meaning, external port is "666", internal port within DMZ is "7071"), it doesn't seem to work; however, if I keep the ports the same on both external AND internal, it works fine.  Just to be safe, I am adding IP address and MAC restriction ACLs.  This is a POWERFUL utility.

Any help would be mucho appreciato...

Remember that annoying little feature that I said about the "/etc/resolv.conf", "/etc/network/interfaces" and "/etc/motd" files reverting back to a preconfigured version?  Well..I found out what's causing this...

I am an *OLD* UNIX dude (been working with UNIX since 1978 -- BEFORE the Internet, kiddies...  ;)

I am used to doing things manually and via CLI (called "command-line interface"; non-graphical method, using a serial connection and keyboard, no mouse...ugh).  This is what us "old farts" used back in the days of modems...  ;P

Anywho...the product is called "NetworkManager".  It is an annoyance.  I have sent some seething emails to the Ubuntu development team about this (ahem) "feature".  Nonetheless, here's the scoop on this package:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager

To turn it OFF, simply type:  /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop

I'd find methods of ensuring that this forkin' thing doesn't startup, and there are plenty 'o methods from preventing it from starting up...  ;P

Running zimbra-conf does not change change certificates.  It keeps certificate with example.com.
