Remove Zimbra Desktop link from 7.0 login screen

[cpaul_carling]

Hi,

Installed NE 7.0 as an upgrade from 6.0.10, upgrade went smoothly with no issues.

However, I notice that there is now a link for downloading Zimbra Desktop on the main login page. I'd like to remove that, as I do not want my users accessing Zimbra in that method, unless necessary due to high travel, etc.

Anyone know how to remove that?

I planned to upgrade from 6.0.10 to 7.0 OSS but Zimbra Desktop link (and some other links like blog, wiki etc.) on start page of web client is very confuse me. In 6.0.x there was a command to remoove the link: "zmprov mc default zimbraWebClientShowOfflineLink FALSE", but in 7.0 it's not work. Please anybody help us

the way we did it was to edit the file located in /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public/login.jsp

I will be working on some changes tonight and will get you the exact location in that file once I take a look at it again. I wanted to give you the file location now however in-case you have time to figure it out before I post back.

There also may be a way to remove it in the "Messages" file - which I'll also find tonight when working on this.


The line we removed in the login.jsp file was:

<div class="offline"><fmt:message key="switchToOfflineClientEx"/></div>

We make a script that we run after ever update to make all our modifications for us. This way we don't have to manually edit these things out everytime we update/upgrade.. Zimbra update/upgrade replaces these files back to their new format.

Good luck!

Wow! It works!
Thank you very much, d2globalinc
May be you also advise me how to do that modifications: How to disable "Accounts" string on "Preferences" tab in web client? ?
I'm walking throught the million zimbras *.js files and just not found any decision

[d2globalinc]

Not sure on removing "Accounts" from the preferences area. I do now you can disable external pop3/imap support, and persona's in the admin interface / under features. Once those are gone, that area pretty much becomes locked down I would think.

Not fully locked down, users still have ability to change they "From:" and "Reply to" propertyes. And every user can send mails from name Barack Obama, Bill Gates and something like this.

Not if you remove the "Allow sending email from any address" from the COS they can't. This from the Admin UI help page:

Allow sending email from any address. Used with Mail Identities to allow users to create different email addresses. If this is not checked users can only select from email addresses or aliases that you configured.

I disabled it, but users still can write anything in their From: field.
users can only select email addresses or aliases that I configured, but can call themselves just it take into their head
for example:

Vasya Pupkin < mavlenko@zimbra.com >

or

Maximus < mavlenko@zimbra.com >

It's a bug 33593.
