The Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) includes the Zimbra MTA, the Zimbra LDAP server, and the Zimbra mailbox server. In a single-server installation, all components are installed on one server and require no additional manual configuration. This installation guide is a quick start guide that describes the basic steps needed to install and configure ZCS in a direct network connect environment. In this environment, the Zimbra server is assigned a domain for which it receives mail, and a direct network connection to the Internet. When ZCS is installed, you will be able to log on to the Zimbra administration console to manage the domain and provision accounts. The accounts you create are able to send and receive external email. Topics in this chapter include:
Important Notice About Single Server Installations Installation Prerequisites Modifying Operating System Configurations Configure DNS Overview of Installation Process Downloading the Zimbra Software Basic Configuration Installing Zimbra Software Provisioning Accounts Support and Contact Information
Important: You cannot have any other web server, database, LDAP, or MTA server running, when you install the Zimbra software. If you have installed any of the applications before you install Zimbra software, disable these applications. During the ZCS installation, Zimbra makes global system changes that may break applications that are on your server.
Installation Prerequisites
In order to successfully install and run ZCS, ensure your system meets the requirements described in this section. System administrators should be familiar with installing and managing email systems.
System Requirements
For the ZCS system requirements see Other Dependencies in the System Requirements table. Note: To find SSH client software, go to Download.com at http:// www.download.com/ and search for SSH. The list displays software that can be purchased or downloaded for free. An example of a free SSH client software is PuTTY, a software implementation of SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms. To download a copy go to http://putty.nl
Installation modifications for frequently used operating systems are described in individual configuration documents found on the ZCS documentation website, such as Installation Modifications for ZCS with Ubuntu LTS, or Installation Modifications for ZCS with Red Hat. Other operating systems may require similar modifications, and you can use the information contained in these documents as a reference to gauge whether your operating system might 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 document for information on hardware and software configurations supported by ZCS. 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.
Configure 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. 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. 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.
Zimbra MTA installs the Postfix open source MTA, the Clam AntiVirus
antivirus engine, the SpamAssassin junk mail filter, and the Amavisd-New content filter.
Zimbra SNMP installs the SNMP package for monitoring. This package is
optional.
Zimbra Logger installs tools for syslog aggregation and reporting. If you do
not install Logger the server statistics are not captures, and the server statistics section of the administration console does not display.
Zimbra Spell installs the Aspell open source spelling checker. Zimbra Apache is installed automatically when Zimbra Spell is installed
The Zimbra server configuration is menu driven. The installation menu shows you the default configuration values. The menu displays the logical host name and email domain name [mailhost.example.com] as configured on the computer. You can change any of the values. For single server installs, you must define the administrators password, which you use to log on to the administration console.
Basic Configuration
The default configuration installs the Zimbra-LDAP, the Zimbra-MTA with antivirus and anti-spam protection, the Zimbra mailbox server, the SNMP monitoring tools (optional), Zimbra-spell (optional), the logger tool (optional), on one server. The menu driven installation displays the components and their existing default values. You can modify the information during the installation process. The table below describes the menu options. Main Menu Options Main Menu Description
Common Configuration - These are common settings for all servers Hostname LDAP master host LDAP port The host name configured in the operating system installation The LDAP host name. On a single server installation, this name is the same as the hostname. The default port is 389
Description
This is the master LDAP password. The default is YES. Secure interprocess communications requires that connections between the mail store, and other processes that use Java, use secure communications. It also specifies whether secure communications should be used between the master LDAP server and the replica LDAP servers for replication. Select the time zone to apply to the default COS. The time zone that should be entered is the time zone that the majority of users in the COS will be located in. The default time zone is PST (Pacific Time). IPv4 is the default. (IPv6 is ZCS 8.0 Beta only).
Time Zone
The default is Enabled. For replica LDAP servers, the status can be changed to Disabled if the database is manually loaded after installation completes. You can create one domain during installation. Additional domains can be created from the administration console. The default domain is the fully qualified hostname of the server. If you created a valid mail domain on your DNS server, enter it now. In most cases, you will accept the default. The root LDAP password for internal LDAP operations. This is the password used by the LDAP replication user to identify itself to the LDAP master and must be the same as the password on the LDAP master server. This is the password used by the postfix user to identify itself to the LDAP server and must be configured on the MTA server to be the same as the password on the LDAP master server. This is the password used by the amavis user to identify itself to the LDAP server and must be configured on the MTA server to be the same as the password on the LDAP server.
Create Domain
Domain to create
zimbra-store
Description
The administrator account is created during installation. This account is the first account provisioned on the Zimbra server and allows you to log on to the administration console. The user name assigned to the administrator account. Once the administrator account has been created, it is suggested that you do not rename the account as automatic ZCS notifications might not be received. You must set the admin account password. The password is case sensitive and must be a minimum of six characters. The administrator name, mail address, and password are required to log in to the administration console. A virus quarantine account is automatically created during installation. When AmivisD identifies an email message with a virus, the email is automatically sent to this mailbox. The virus quarantine mailbox is configured to delete messages older than 7 days. By default, the automated spam training filter is enabled and two mail accounts are created. 1. Spam Training User to receive mail notification about mail that was not marked as junk, but should have been. 2. Non-spam (HAM) Training User to receive mail notification about mail that was marked as junk, but should not have been. These addresses are automatically configured to work with the spam training filter. The accounts created have a randomly selected name. To recognize what the account is used for, you may want to change this name.

Note: If services are not running, type zmcontrol start. See the Zimbra Collaboration Server Administrators Guide, Appendix A: Command-Line Utilities for more zmcontrol commands. The installation is complete and the servers are started. You can start adding accounts.
Final Set-Up
After the Zimbra servers are configured, the following functions must be configured. Important: ZCS 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 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.
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, as Zimbra user (su-zimbra). Type zmupdateauthkeys and press Enter. The key is updated on /opt/zimbra/.ssh/authorized_keys.
21
Enabling Server Statistics Display. In order for the server statistics to display
display statistics.
2. You must enable syslog to log statistics from remote machines.
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 Note: On DEBIAN AND UBUNTU, step 2 is as follows 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
Provisioning Accounts
Once the mailbox server is running, open your browser, enter the administration console URL and log on to the console to provision email accounts. The administration console URL is entered as: https://[mailhost.example.com]:7071 Note: To go to the administration console, you must type https, even if you configured the Web server mode as HTTP. The first time you log on, a warning may be displayed stating the connection is untrusted. This only applies the first time you log in. Click I understand the Risks to be able to connect to the Zimbra administration console. Then click OK. Enter the admin user name and password configured during the installation process. Enter the name as [email protected].
Provision 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.
22
1. From the administration console Home pages Content pane, go to Add 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 Add Account. The first page of the New Account wizard opens. 3. Enter the account name to be used as the email address and the last
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, you can send and receive emails.
users from Microsoft Exchange server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
ZCS Migration Wizard for Domino. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate
users from Lotus Domino server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
PST Import Wizard (User Instructions). Format is an .exe file. Users
download the Import Wizard to their computers and run the executable file to import their Outlook .pst files to the Zimbra server. Before users run this utility, Zimbra recommends that they run the Outlook Inbox Repair tool, scanpst.exe, on their .pst files, to clean up any errors in their file. For more information about this tool, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497.
23
Administrators Account
Initial administrative tasks when you log on for the first time may include setting up the admin mailbox to include features, aliases, and forwarding addresses needed for the administrators working environment. Two aliases for the admin account are created during install:
Postmaster. The postmaster address is displayed in emails that are
automatically generated from Postfix when messages cannot be sent. If users reply to this address, the message is forwarded to the admin mailbox.
Root. This address is where notification messages from the operating
system are sent. If you entered a notification address for AV alerts when you configured the MTA, that is different from the default, you need to create that account in the administration console. If you didnt change the default during installation, the anti-virus notification is sent directly to the admin account.
The Zimbra servers are stopped, the existing packages, the webapp directories, and the /opt/zimbra directory are removed.
4. Type rm -rf [zcsfullfilename] to delete the ZCS directory. 5. Delete the zcs.tgz file.
