how to pass parameters to the webmail

[Alfspace]

Hi,

we need help in how to pass login parameters to the webmail in order to call it from another web page, is that possible ?

also we would like to know how to change any zimbra mailbox password from an external application like a web page.

These questions are because we already have a web student portal which integrates webmail with other systems and a single entry point where any user can change his profile and password.

help greatly appreciated,

Alfspace.

This can be done with the SOAP api. You'd need the username and password then get use the authrequest to get an auth token. Set this as a cookie and redirect the user. There is also SOAP api's available to change passwords etc. They are all documented in ZimbraServer/docs/soap*.txt in the source downloads.
