Configuring for Virtual Hosting

You can configure multiple virtual hostnames to host more than one domain name on a server. When you create a virtual host, users can log in without have to specify the domain name as part of their user name. Virtual hosts are configured from the administration console Domains>Virtual Hosts tab. The virtual host requires a valid DNS configuration with an A record. When users log in, they enter the virtual host name in the browser. For example, https://mail.example.com. When the Zimbra logon screen displays, users enter only their user name and password. The authentication request searches for a domain with that virtual host name. When the virtual host is found, the authentication is completed against that domain.

Preparing Your Server Environment

In order to successfully install and run Zimbra Collaboration Server, ensure your system meets the requirements described in this section. Topics in this chapter include: System Requirements on page 19 Modifying Operating System Configurations on page 19 DNS Configuration Requirement on page 20 Important: Do not manually create the user zimbra before running the ZCS installation. The installation automatically creates this user and sets up its environment.

System Requirements
For the ZCS system requirements see System Requirements for Zimbra Collaboration Server 7.1 at the end of this guide. Important: The operating system that you use should be at the current patch level before you install ZCS. See the latest release notes for a list of the operating systems patches that have been tested with ZCS.

Modifying Operating System Configurations

The Zimbra Collaboration Server runs on one of several operating systems, including Ubuntu LTS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise. Configuration modifications for frequently used operating systems are described in individual configuration documents. Other operating systems may require similar modifications, and you can use the information contained in the individual configuration documents as a reference to gauge whether your operating system may need to be modified. A full default installation of the Linux distribution that you select is required. For more information, refer to the System Requirements for Zimbra Collaboration Server 7.1 document for information on hardware and software configurations supported by Zimbra Collaboration Server.

Multi-Server Installation Guide

Note: Zimbra recommends that the operating systems you use are updated with the latest patches that have been tested with ZCS. See the latest release notes to see the operating systems patch list that has been tested with ZCS.

DNS Configuration Requirement

When you create a domain during the installation process, ZCS checks to see if you have an MX record correctly configured. If it is not, an error is displayed suggesting that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS. In order to send and receive email, the Zimbra MTA must be configured in DNS with both A and MX records. For sending mail, the MTA uses DNS to resolve hostnames and email-routing information. To receive mail the MX record must be configured correctly to route the message to the mail server. You must configure a relay host if you do not enable DNS. After ZCS is installed, go to the Global Settings>MTA tab on the administration console and uncheck Enable DNS lookups. Enter the relay MTA address to use for external delivery. Note: Even if a relay host is configured, an MX record is still required if the ZCS server is going to receive email from the Internet.

Final Set-Up
After the Zimbra servers are configured in a multi-node configuration, the following functions must be configured:

In order for remote management and postfix queue management, the ssh keys must be manually populated on each server. If logger is installed, set up the syslog configuration files on each server to enable server statistics to display on the administration console, and then enable the logger monitor host. The server statistics includes information about the message count, message volume, and anti-spam and anti-virus activity. ZCS ships a default zimbra user with a disabled password. ZCS requires access to this account via ssh public key authentication. On most operating systems this combination is okay, but if you have modified pam rules to disallow any ssh access to disabled accounts then you must define a password for the zimbra UNIX account. This will allow ssh key authentication for checking remote queues. See the Zimbra wiki article, Mail Queue Monitoring.

Set Up the SSH Keys To populate the ssh keys, on each server, as Zimbra user (su - zimbra). Type zmupdateauthkeys and press Enter. The key is updated on /opt/zimbra/.ssh/authorized_keys. Enabling Server Statistics Display In order for the server statistics to display on the administration console, the syslog configuration files must be modified. Important: Depending on your operating system, the steps below may not be correct. See your operating system documentation for specific information about how to enable syslog.
1. On each server, as root, type /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup. This

enables the server to display statistics.

2. On the logger monitor host, you must enable either syslog or rsyslog to

log statistics from remote machines: For syslog:

a. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS setting, SYSLOGD_options=-r -m 0 b. Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog stop c. Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog start For syslog on Debian or Ubuntu:

VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server

Open Source Edition 7.1

37

Multi-Server Installation Guide

a. Edit the /etc/default/syslogd file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS setting, SYSLOGD_options=-r -m 0 b. Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop c. Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd start For rsyslog: a. Uncomment the following lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf
$modload imudp $UDPServerRun 514

b. Restart rsyslog

Note about MTA servers

New installs of ZCS limit spam/ham training to the first MTA installed. If you uninstall or move this MTA, you will need to enable spam/ham training on another MTA, as one host should have this enabled to run zmtrainsa -cleanup. To do this, set zmlocalconfig -e zmtrainsa_cleanup_host=TRUE.

Verifying Server Configuration

When Configuration complete - press return to exit is displayed, the installation is finished and the server has been started. Before going to the next server, you should verify that the server is running. Use the CLI command, zmcontrol status, to verify that each server is running.
1. For each server in the Zimbra Collaboration Server environment, log on as

a Zimbra administrator, from the root.

2. Type su - zimbra. 3. Type zmcontrol status. The services status information is displayed. All

services should be running.

Note: If services are not started, you can type zmcontrol start. See the CLI command appendix in the Administration Guide for more zmcontrol commands.

Logging on to the Administration Console

To log on to the administration console, open your browser, type the administration console URL and log on to the console. The administration console URL is entered as https://[example.com]:7071/zimbraAdmin. Note: The administration console address must be typed with https, even if you configured only http.

Multiple-Server Installation

The first time you log on, a certificate authority (CA) alert may be displayed. Click Accept this certificate permanently to accept the certificate and be able connect to the Zimbra administration console. Then click OK. Enter the admin user name and password configured during the installation process. Enter the user name as [email protected]

Post Installation Tasks

Once the Zimbra Collaboration Server is installed, you can log on to the administration console and configure additional domains, create Classes of Service, and provision accounts. See the Zimbra Administrators Guide.

Defining Classes of Service

A default Class of Service (COS) is automatically created during the installation of Zimbra software. The COS controls mailbox quotas, message lifetime, password restrictions, attachment blocking and server pools. You can modify the default COS and create new COSs to assign to accounts according to your group management policies. In an environment with multiple mailbox servers, COS is used to assign the new accounts to a mailbox server. The COS server pool tab lists the mailbox servers in your Zimbra environment. When you configure the COS, select which servers to add to the server pool. Within each pool of servers, a random algorithm assigns new mailboxes to any available server. To create or modify a COS, from the administration console, click COS. If you have questions, refer to the Help.

Provisioning Accounts
You can configure one account at a time with the New Account Wizard or you can create many accounts at once using the Account Migration Wizard. Configuring One Account The administration console New Account Wizard steps you through the account information to be completed.
1. From the administration console Navigation pane, click Accounts.

Note: Four accounts are listed: admin account, two spam training accounts, and a global Documents account. These accounts do not need any additional configuration.
2. Click New. The first page of the New Account Wizard opens. 3. Enter the account name to be used as the email address and the last

name. This the only required information to create an account.

VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server

Open Source Edition 7.1

39

Multi-Server Installation Guide

4. You can click Finish at this point, and the account is configured with the

default COS and global features.

To configure aliases, forwarding addresses, and specific features for this account, proceed through the dialog before you click Finish. When the accounts are provisioned, these accounts can immediately start to send and receive emails. Configuring Many Accounts at Once You can provision multiple accounts at once using the Account Migration tool from the administration console. The wizard guides you through the steps to import accounts from an external directory server, either Active Directory or an LDAP server. The wizard downloads account information from your directory and creates the accounts in ZCS. Refer to the administration guide to learn more about provisioning accounts. Import the Content of Users Mailboxes Zimbras migration and import tools can be used to move users email messages, calendars, and contacts from their old email servers to their accounts on the Zimbra server. When the users files are imported, the folder hierarchy is maintained. These tools can be accessed from the administration console Download page and instruction guides are available from the Administration Console Help Desk.

Uninstalling Zimbra Collaboration Server

To uninstall servers, you run the install script -u and then delete the zcs directory and remove the ZCS tgz file on the servers.
1. Change directories to the original install directory for the zcs files. 2. Type ./install.sh -u. 3. When Completely remove existing installation? is displayed, type Yes.

The Zimbra servers are stopped, the existing packages, the webapp directories, and the /opt/zimbra directory are removed.
4. Delete the zcs directory, type rm -rf [zcsfilename]. 5. Delete the zcs.tgz file, type rm -rf zcs.tgz. 6. Additional files may need to be delete. See the Zimbra Wiki Installation

Configuring LDAP Replication

Setting up LDAP replication lets you distribute Zimbra server queries to specific replica LDAP servers. Only one master LDAP server can be set up. This server is authoritative for user information, server configuration, etc. Replica LDAP servers can be defined to improve performance and to reduce the load on the master server. All updates are made to the master server and these updates are copied to the replica servers. The Zimbra install program is used to configure a master LDAP server and additional read-only replica LDAP servers. The master LDAP server is installed and configured first, following the normal ZCS installation options. The LDAP replica server installation is modified to point the replica server to the LDAP master host. When the master LDAP server and the replica LDAP servers are correctly installed, the following is automatically configured:

SSH keys are set up on each LDAP server Trusted authentication between the master LDAP and the LDAP replica servers is set up The content of the master LDAP directory is copied to the replica LDAP server. Replica LDAP servers are read-only. Zimbra servers are configured to query the replica LDAP server instead of the master LDAP server.

10. When Installation complete - press return to exit displays, press Enter.

The installation on the replica LDAP server is complete. The content of the master LDAP directory is copied to the replica LDAP server.

Test the replica

1. Create several user accounts, either from the admin console or on the

master LDAP server. The CLI command to create these accounts is

zmprov ca <[email protected]> <password>

If you do not have a mailbox server setup, you can create domains instead. Use this CLI command to create a domain
zmprov cd <domain name> 2. To see if the accounts were correctly copied to the replica LDAP server, on the replica LDAP server, type zmprov -l gaa. Type zmprov gad to check all

domains.

The accounts/domains created on the master LDAP server should display on the replica LDAP server. In cases where the mailbox server is not setup, you can also use the following command for account creation.
zmprov ca <name@domain> <password> zimbraMailTransport <where_to_deliver>

Configuring LDAP Replication

Configuring Zimbra Servers to use LDAP Replica

To use the replica LDAP server instead of the master LDAP server, you must update the ldap_url value on the Zimbra servers that will query the replica instead of the master. For each server that you want to change:
1. Stop the Zimbra services on the server. Type zmcontrol stop. 2. Update the ldap_url value. Enter the replica LDAP server URL zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldap://<replicahost> ldap://<masterhost>

Enter more than one replica hostnames in the list typed as ldap:// <replicahost1> ldap://<replicahost2> ldap://<masterhost>. The hosts are tried in the order listed. The master URL must always be included and is listed last.
3. Update the ldap_master_url value. Enter the master LDAP server URL, if

not already set.

zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldap://<masterhost>:port Additional Steps for MTA hosts. After updating the ldap_url, rerun /opt/zimbra/ libexec/zmmtainit.

This rewrites the Postfix configuration with the updated ldap_url.

Uninstalling an LDAP replica server

If you do not want to use an LDAP rep lica server, follow these steps to disable it. Note: Uninstalling an LDAP server is the same as disabling it on the master LDAP server.

Remove LDAP replica from all active servers

1. On each member server, including the replica, verify the ldap_url value. Type zmlocalconfig [ldap_url] 2. Remove the disabled LDAP replica server URL from zmlocalconfig. Do this by modifying the ldap_url to only include enabled ZCS LDAP servers. The master LDAP server should always be at the end of the ldap_url string

value.

zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url="ldap://<replica-server-host> ldap:// <master-server-host>"

Disable LDAP on the Replica

To disable LDAP on the replica server,
1. Type zmcontrol stop to stop the Zimbra services on the server.

Multi-Server Installation Guide

2. To disable LDAP service, type

zmprov -1 ms <zmhostname> -zimbraServiceEnabled ldap

3. Type zmcontrol start to start other current Zimbra services on the server. Additional steps for MTA host. After updating the ldap_url with zmlocalconfig, rerun /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmtainit. This rewrites the Postfix configuration with the updated ldap_url.

Monitoring LDAP Replication Status

The Monitoring LDAP Replication Status feature monitors the change sequence number (CSN) values between an LDAP master server and an LDAP replica server. The replica server is considered a shadow copy of the master server. If the servers become out of sync, the monitoring feature indicates the problem. The out of sync time period is typically five minutes, although this value is configurable.

Feature Requirement
Run the script zmreplchk located in /opt/zimbra/libexec. Important: This script must be run on a ZCS server that has a localconfig value set for ldap_url that includes all of the replica servers and ends with the master server.

Error Codes and Status Explanations

The following monitoring error codes and status explanations are given with this feature: Error Code Code 0 Code 1 Code 2 Code 3 Code 4 Status
In Sync No contact

Description The servers are currently in sync. No connection to the master server and the system exits. The master server has no replica servers and is considered a standalone master server. The replica server requires StartTLS and fails. The replica server is currently down.

Searching the replica server for the context CSN fails. The replica server becomes out of sync. Status indicates amount of time the replica server is behind themaster server in w=weeks, d=days, h=hours, m=minutes, and s=seconds.

For example, ldap002.example.com is the master server, and ldap003.example.com and ldap004.example.com are replicas servers. The following screen-shot shows that replica server ldap003 is in sync with the master server, as indicated by the Code:0 and Status: In Sync, and replica server ldap004 is currently down, as indicated by Code: 4 and Status: Server down.
[email protected] Replica: ldap://ldap003.example.com:389 Code: 0 Status: In Sync Replica: ldap://ldap004.example.com:389 Code: 4 Status: Server down

If the replica server becomes out of sync with the master server, the status given indicates in a time format how far behind the master server it has become:
Replica: ldap://ldap003.example.com:389 Code: 0 Status: In Sync Replica: ldap://ldap004.example.com:389 Code: 6 Status: 0w 0d 0h 14m 42s behind
