========================================================================
- A running Zimbra server
- A running WebDAV server (for example ownCloud/Nextcloud)
Use the automated installer:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zimbra-Community/owncloud-zimlet/soapServiceBarry/webdav-client-installer.sh -O /tmp/webdav-client-installer.sh
chmod +rx /tmp/webdav-client-installer.sh
/tmp/webdav-client-installer.sh
Each user can configure the WebDAV Client for themselves by clicking Preferences in the Zimlet menu.
Initially the Preferences dialog will be filled with best guess values and values provided by the administrator in config.properties.
It is recommended that the administrator reviews the config.properties and change it to fit the needs. Doing this simplifies things for your users. You can find the configuration in /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/ownCloud/config.properties.
Please note that a preference set by the user has priority over a preference set in config.properties. And config.properties has priority over best guess preferences.
| property name | default value | description | guessed value |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowdomains | * | A semicolon separated DAV server allow list. Default * allows all. Example: *.example.com;myzimbra.com | |
| disable_password_storing | false | When true, users can not store their passwords in plain text in LDAP | |
| owncloud_zimlet_server_name | URL to your WebDAV/ownCloud server. Example: https://myowncloud.com | location.protocol + '//' + location.hostname | |
| owncloud_zimlet_server_port | Port number for your WebDAV/ownCloud server. Example: 443 | ((location.protocol === 'https:') ? 443 : 80) | |
| owncloud_zimlet_server_path | /owncloud/remote.php/webdav/ | Part of the URL where server handles WebDAV protocol without protocol and hostname. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_oc_folder | /owncloud | Location where ownCloud/nextCloud is installed without protocol and hostname. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_default_folder | Default location where to upload files from Zimbra to WebDAV. | ||
| owncloud_zimlet_ask_folder_each_time | false | When true, ask the user each time to choose destination folder when uploading an attachment to WebDAV. The destination folder can be the default folder and folders in top level of the default folder. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_disable_rename_delete_new_folder | false | When true, rename folder, new folder and delete folder operations are hidden from the UI. To avoid bugs in ownCloud 8 with external storage. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_extra_toolbar_button_title | Open ownCloud tab | If a value is set, show an additional button in the WebDAV tab to open in a new browser window the url set in owncloud_zimlet_extra_toolbar_button_url. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_extra_toolbar_button_url | /owncloud | See: owncloud_zimlet_extra_toolbar_button_title | |
| owncloud_zimlet_app_title | WebDAV | Change this if you want to rebrand WebDAV Client for your users. For example: ownCloud. | |
| owncloud_zimlet_max_upload_size | 104857600 (100MB) | Maximum upload size for upload dialog MB * 1024 * 1024. The back-end has a hardcoded maximum of 1048576000 (1GB). | |
| owncloud_zimlet_preview_delay | 200 | Delay in milliseconds between loading previews, if your previews stuck, set this to 400. |
After changing config.properties run the following:
wget https://github.com/Zimbra-Community/prop2xml/raw/master/out/artifacts/prop2xml_jar/prop2xml.jar -O /tmp/prop2xml.jar
java -jar /tmp/prop2xml.jar tk_barrydegraaff_owncloud_zimlet /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/ownCloud/config.properties /opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/_dev/tk_barrydegraaff_owncloud_zimlet/config_template.xml
[zimbra@server zimbra]$ zmmailboxdctl restart
As of version 0.5.6 your clients can connect to all dav servers by default, you can restrict the allowed DAV servers to connect to in:
/opt/zimbra/lib/ext/ownCloud/config.properties
allowdomains=allowme.example.com;allowmealso.example.com
No service restart is needed after changing this file.
If you installed WebDAV Client before, you should remove your DAV servers from zimbraProxyAllowedDomains.
zmprov gc default zimbraProxyAllowedDomains
zmprov mc default -zimbraProxyAllowedDomains allowme.example.com
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/_dev/tk_barrydegraaff_owncloud_zimlet/
rm -Rf /opt/zimbra/lib/ext/ownCloud/
[zimbra@server zimbra]$ zmmailboxdctl restart
The Zimbra WebDAV Client uses built-in language strings from Zimbra, as such it is translated for all languages that are supported by Zimbra.
- Passwords with characters like @ will not work, try to install this using a simple account and password (A-Za-z0-9). fixed in 0.6.2.
- Error 500 but some features work, if you use ownCloud external storage, make sure it is available and marked
green. - Running a WebDAV server behind and NGINX reverse proxy (from CentOS or Debian) won't work, it will work when proper options are enabled (as for example with zimbra-proxy, also based on NGINX).
- Previews stay stuck on first viewed document, see owncloud_zimlet_preview_delay above.
