Final Set-Up (required)

Table of Contents

After the {product-name} servers are configured, the following functions must be configured.

Important
 {product-name} supports the default syslog of a supported operating system. Depending on your operating system, the steps contained in this section might not be correct. See your operating system documentation for specific information about how to enable syslog.

If zimbra-logger is installed, set up the syslog configuration files to enable server statistics to display on the administration console, and enable the logger monitor host. The server statistics includes information about the message count, message volume, and anti-spam and anti-virus activity.

Access to the 'zimbra' user

{product-name} ships a default zimbra user with a disabled password. {product-name} requires access to this account via ssh public key authentication. On most operating systems this combination is okay, but if you have modified spam 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

sudo -u zimbra -i # if not already logged in as the zimbra user
zmupdateauthkeys

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.

Note
 Note, your system may use a different provider for the syslog service. See the Wiki article Configuring Logger Host for more information

  1. As root, type the following command to enable the server to display statistics - /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup

  2. You must enable syslog to log statistics from remote machines.

    RedHat Systems

    • Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file to add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS setting, SYSLOGD_options="-r -m 0"

    • Stop the syslog daemon - /etc/init.d/syslog stop

    • Start the syslog daemon - /etc/init.d/syslog start

    Debian and Ubuntu Systems

    • Edit the /etc/default/syslogd file to add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS setting, SYSLOGD_options="-r -m 0"

    • Stop the syslog daemon - /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop

    • Start the syslog daemon - /etc/init.d/sysklogd start
