Preauth authentication failed error?

Let me explain my problem
domain.com and mail.domain.com are different servers,
zimbra is installed on mail.domain.com.SSL is not activated on mail.domain.com

1.I generated key for domain.com at mail.domain.com
2.I restarted zimbra server with stop and start commands
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

3.I adjusted mail.domain.com as the same as domain.com
4.I added zimbra myname@mydomain.com account
and my test.php code at domain.com is:
<?

$now = time() * 1000;
$preauth_string = "myname@domain.com|name|0|" . $now;
$preauth = hash_hmac("sha1", $preauth_string, "350d4c96912e71429689bda85rc62e92gf54a84d8af7ddd35 8c10d3823dfd2bb");
echo "<CENTER><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=+2><A HREF='http://mail.mydomain.com/service/preauth?account=myname@domain.com&expires=0&timest amp=" . $now . "&preauth=" . $preauth . "' target='_mail'>Launch Web Mail Client</A></FONT></CENTER>";

?>

and when i clicked to link,i get myname@domain.com authentication error:

HTTP ERROR: 400

authentication failed for myname@domain.com

RequestURI=/service/preauth

what can be wrong?i'm waiting for your help

Hello,

I have tried a lot to get rid from that.

I am trying to connect with zimbra server using Preauth mechanism. I have passed every parameters perfectly and also checked preauth key with

zmprov gdpa mydomain.com test@mydomain.com name CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 0

and the same key return which I generate with programming, but still I am not able to connect with Zimbra server everytime I got the same error "Authentication Fails".

I have also tried gdpak command to regenerate PreAuth key and restart the Zimbra service but still not able resolve this issue.

Thanx in Advance for your kind help.

I had the same issue,
But when I renamed the file i.e. preauth.jsp to a.jsp my problem was solved.
Did you made changes after the first time you saved the preauth.jsp, then I guess try renaming it and access service/a.jsp

I am trying to access zimbra using PHP webservice(SOAP).

can you please tell where I have to rename the file preauth.jsp ?

I used URL Interface for preauth.
If you made some changes after you saved the preauth.jsp, then I may be recommanding you to rename that file.
check this Preauth - Zimbra :: Wiki

Now I got the problem,
the JSP code works fine but when I tried it with php its gives me

HTTP ERROR 400

Problem accessing /service/preauth/. Reason:

authentication failed for test@test.com

after some efforts I get to know that the problem is occurred because of timestamp.

When I am using JSP timestamp value with PHP than PreAuth works fine.

Please suggest some suitable way.....

Hello ,

I am new to zimbra and was using soap for the zimbra integration. I have tested the same code and it worked on the test server , but when i used the same code with server on datacenter with same configuration and same OS, I can not login through soap. If anyone can point out my problem, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
