[SOLVED] system failure: exception during auth

[pingwin]

I want to upgrade my secondary server despite possible issues, just to figure out all steps before upgrading main mail server of my company.
Now my zimbra 6 is running under ubuntu 8.04 x64 virtual machine.
There is two options - upgrade zimbra first or ubuntu.
I am going to try upgrading zimbra first and ubuntu after. If it won't be good I can revert snapshot and try another way

[pingwin]

upgrade to 7.0.0 went well, but many items in admin panel don't work, throwing error:
Server error encountered Message: system failure: exception during auth {RemoteManager: mail.domain.com->zimbra@mail.domain.com:22} Error code: service.FAILURE Method: [unknown] Details:soap:Receiver

What does this have to do with the original thread? You should have started a new thread for this.

Try looking at your certificates and see if they're expired.

After upgrade many items of admin panel do not work

Message: system failure: exception during auth {RemoteManager: mail.domain.com->zimbra@mail.domain.com:22} Error code: service.FAILURE Method: [unknown] Details:soap:Receive

Tried recreating and installing certificates with commands

zmcertmgr createca -new
zmcertmgr createcrt -new -days 365
zmcertmgr deploycrt self
zmcertmgr deployca
zmcertmgr viewdeployedcrt

It did not help

Don't start a new thread for every post n this topic when I've already move your original into a new thread!!

Look in the log files and see what errors there are and don't post one line out-of-context.

I am sorry, I won't.

have you searched the forums or tried this Mail Queue Monitoring - Zimbra :: Wiki

[pingwin]

Thank you, this article is the solution.

I fixed this problem (getting the "system failure exception during auth Remote Manager" etc error) by installing and configuring OpenSSH. I would always get the error when trying to view the Server Settings and Mail Queues areas of the Zimbra Administration controls.
You might think that the Zimbra folks could mention that the sshd daemon is required for the Admin console to work right, since it's not installed by default in Ubuntu, and they recommend certain distros of Ubuntu that don't come with sshd running.
But thanks to these forums, I got it resolved.
