You need to provision the users in your Zimbra server then set Zimbra to use FDS to authenticate users.

hi.
am new to zimbra.can u send me any doccuments links.

can u explain me this "You need to provision the users in your Zimbra server then set Zimbra to use FDS to authenticate users."

I'd suggest you start with the Product Documentation, have a look through the wiki and search the forums for details of scripts that can create a user in Zimbra.

hi
i have created users in zimbra .eventhough its not authenticating with FDS.
my fds is fedora.example.com and my zimbra server is server.example.com
i created some users in FDS. for example say sbabu. and i created users in zimbra for example ,sbabu@fedora.example.com

for authentication purpose i created domain as fedora.example.com and i gave the ldap details .

after when i log in to administration console as sbabu@fedora.example.com,its shows that authentication failed.

Then you've given it the wrong details. Surely what you want to do is authenticate your Zimbra users for the domain which, in your example, should be example.com and you'd want this: dc=example,dc=com defined in the External Authentication set-up. What happens if you do an ldapsearch against your FDS for that user? You should also check this wiki article: LDAP Authentication - Zimbra :: Wiki

hi
exactly what i want is.
the users i created in FDS shud aunthenticate with zimbra.
pls pls help me ..by next week i hav to complete this

In the "Configuration" section of the administration console i created a domain as
fedora.example.com
I select the domain for which to configure authentication(fedora.example.com)
I clicked "Configure Authentication" to initiate the Authentication Configuration Wizard
I Selected "External LDAP" for "Authentication Mechanism". Click "Next
In the LDAP URL box.I typed the FQDN as fedora.example.com as port no as 389.
in the "LDAP filter" box i typed as "%u"
in the "LDAP search base" box i typed as dc=example,dc=com
then i skip to step 10.
it asked for the username and password to the configuration.
so i gave the
username:kbabu(this username i created in FDS)
passwd:***********
during the test,it showiin authentication test failed, and it displays the foll error
