Change all Password

[maschimidt]

Hi
Guys, I have a server with 700 zimbra email accounts, for security reasons I need to change the password of ALL mail accounts, and check the "change in the next login" how can I make this process automated?

Thanks...

Hi

I've never tried this, but I'd do something like this:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l getAllAccounts | while read LINE
do
    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov modifyAccount $LINE zimbraPasswordMustChange TRUE
done

Since the getAllAccounts command retrieves all accounts (except the galsyncs), you might want to filter those out (such as the ham, spam and wiki accounts).

If you also want to change the passwords to something temporary, you could do something like this:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -l getAllAccounts | while read LINE
do
    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov setPassword $LINE newPassword
    /opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov modifyAccount $LINE zimbraPasswordMustChange TRUE
done

Where newPassword would be the new password. Beware though as all the users would get the same password!
