[SOLVED] "Enable POP clear text login" doesn't work in Zimbra Proxy

[kai.liao]

Hello Experts
I have installed 2 ZCS(5.0.5 GA Release) servers and one of them with Zimbra Proxy in it. I enabled "pop clear text login" on these 2 ZCS servers, but the server with zimbra proxy always responded with "-ERR cleartext logins disabled", the other one without zimbra proxy worked well.
I checked conf/nginx.conf and found that it doesn't change to enable clear text login in zimbra proxy. I think this function is not applied on zimbra proxy.
Can zimbra experts tell me how to enable clear text login in zimbra proxy?


conf/nginx.conf

server {
listen 110;
protocol pop3;
proxy on;
sasl_service_name "pop";
# starttls=on implies cleartext login enabled
# starttls=only implies cleartext login requires SSL/TLS
starttls only;

Welcome to the forums

To check the setting do

su - zimbra
zmprov gs zcs.server.name | grep zimbraReverseProxyPop3StartTlsMode

I am sure it will be set to only, so to change that do

zmprov ms zcs.server.name zimbraReverseProxyPop3StartTlsMode=on

Thanks a lot. It worked. It should be added on UI.

Take the '=' sign out of the code line. so line should read. Thanks for the quick fix. I also ran into the same issue with IMAP and clear text login. Second code line addresses that.

Code:
zmprov ms zcs.server.name zimbraReverseProxyPop3StartTlsMode on

zmprov ms zcs.server.name zimbraReverseProxyImapStartTlsMode on
