Set alias as primary address from cli

[stefaan]

Hi,

is there a way to set an alias address als primary address from cli?
We authenticate our users through active directory, user ids are like lastnamefirstname. For adding new users to zimbra, I use a python script I found somewhere on the internet, that works great.
Our mail addresses should look like firstname.lastname, no problem to create this alias using the python script. But is there a way to set this alias as the primary address when adding a new user by cli?

Thank you!

Regads, Stefan

Hi Stefaan,

you can add your users from cli with zmprov command, directly in the form fistname.lastname@domain without password:

zmprov ca fistname.lastname@domain ""

and for autentication purpouse you can set the ldap-bind user by setting the zimbraAuthLdapExternalDn attribute:

zmprov ma fistname.lastname@domain zimbraAuthLdapExternalDn lastnamefirstname@AdDomain

Obviously, these commands can be merged on only one command:

zmprov ca fistname.lastname@domain "" zimbraAuthLdapExternalDn lastnamefirstname@AdDomain

Have a nice day.

Hi!

Thank you, works great!

So we have about 700 new Zimbra users (migrated from Cyrus/Squirrelmail).
