Zimbra

Hi,
We are getting ready to go live with Zimbra. We tight Zimbra to our portal via SSO. Here is the problem. When the portal passes the user ID and password to Zimbra; we receive this message "Oops! It appears your browser does not allow cookies. You need to enable cookies in order to use the Zimbra Collaboration Suite." All we need to do is to click on the log in button to authenticate to Zimbra. I've checked the cookies settings in my web browser and it is set to accept all cookies. If I close the web browser and reopen it; the error message comes back. What can I do to prevent that error message?
Thanks.
PL

Yes. We implemented the preauth using php. It's quite easy to do. You can also use jsp or .NET. Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.

This is what we've done....
1. Prepare your domain for preauth - gdpak domain.com
2. Pass the login ID to a different php5 supported web server; make sure you work with your Network Engineer to test the firewall between the webserver to the email server.
3. Using the code below and replace $PREAUTH_KEY, $WEB_MAIL_PREAUTH_URL, $user = $_GET["user"] and $domain=$_GET["domain"] values
4. Test your script.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

$user = $_GET["user"];
$domain=$_GET["domain"];

$email = "{$user}@{$domain}";

Hello

Is there anything else to be performed on zimbra server apart from
gdpak domain.com?

What is the preauth url to give. Suppose currently we use Open-Xchange Server

Thanks and awaiting for your valuable response.
