Change server name in Zimbra Network 5.0.6_GA_2313

[Myrddin]

I would like to change my server name so that I can use already signed SSL certificates for the mail server.

I believe this setting is zimbra_server_hostname in zmlocalconfig, but it's clearly not as simple as changing this variable.

When I change this, the LDAP tree does not match and the mailbox process does not start.

What is the correct way to make this change?

Searching for help on this issue has not been fruitful.

Thank you!

If you're changing the server's hostname, you might try ZmSetServerName - Zimbra :: Wiki

Ok, I've used the zmsetserver command, but now my LDAP tree appears to be very broken:

Jun 23 19:08:26 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[24685]: warning: dict_ldap_connect: Unable to bind to server
ldap://zimbra.domain.com:389 as uid=zmpostfix,cn=appaccts,cn=zimbra: 49 (Invalid credentials)

Using ldapsearch I confirmed that I do not know the password to the zmpostfix account. So I tried to reset it using the following:

# ldapmodify -H ldap://zimbra.domain.com:389 -x -D 'cn=config' -W
Enter LDAP Password:
dn: uid=zmpostfix,cn=appaccts,cn=zimbra
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: password
modifying entry "uid=zmpostfix,cn=appaccts,cn=zimbra"
ldapmodify: No such object (32)
matched DN: cn=zimbra

As you can see, this doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Try searching the wiki. It's got lots of useful info.

This link was not helpful.

In fact, what happened was that zmsetservername ran and removed the entire "appaccts" cn. All the accounts, zmpostfix, zmamavis, and zmreplica were all missing completely.

I was able to add them back using sections of zimbra.ldif and ldapadd with the correct passwords.

If anyone has an explanation for this behavior, please reply. Otherwise, this thread is closed.
