Authenticating with ZMailbox

[kangis]

Hi!

I'm trying to use the ZMailbox class to connect to Zimbra, but I'm facing problems already at authentication. I'm using Jython, but I guess this applies to the zimbra classes in general. I've tried different urls for connecting (port 7071, path "/service/admin/soap", trailing slash), with no luck.

I'm probably doing some very simple mistake, but I've been unable to get past this so far.

This test snippet:

from com.zimbra.cs.account.Provisioning import AccountBy
from com.zimbra.cs.zclient import ZMailbox

opt = ZMailbox.Options()
opt.setAccount("username")
opt.setPassword("password")
opt.setAccountBy(AccountBy.name)
opt.setUri("https://exampleserver/service/soap")
mb = ZMailbox.getMailbox(opt)

results in this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test2.py", line 10, in <module>
    mb = ZMailbox.getMailbox(opt)

Any kind of help/tip would be much appreciated.

Kangis,
You need to specify the kind of request you perform. In this case something like GET_ADMINAUTH_REQUEST
