General Tool Information

Zimbra CLI Commands

Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to create, modify and delete certain features and functions of the zimbra Collaboration Suite. The administration console is the main tool for maintaining the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, but some functions can only be changed from the CLI utility.

The CLI utility can be used for the following:

•	Provisioning accounts*

•	Starting and stopping a service

•	Installing self-signed certificates

•	Local configuration

*In general, provisioning and managing accounts should be performed from the administration console, but bulk provisioning can be done from the CLI
