CLI zmtlsctl to set Web Server Mode - Zimbra :: Wiki

I have done this. if I may ask what is the benefit of doing redirect over mixed mode? is there a way to bypass the security certificate prompt for my users? TIA

[mmorse]

I actually updated that wiki last, about as clear as I can write it anyways -

So mixed makes sure all logins are https:
-If the user goes to http:// it will redirect to https:// for the login only, then will revert to http:// for normal session traffic.
-If they browse to https:// then they will stay https:// for the entire session.

Beginning with ZCS 5.0 we have redirect which forces a change to https:
-Like mixed, if the user goes to http:// it will redirect to https:// but they will stay https:// for their entire session.
-Redirect is more useful than setting the mode to https because otherwise you'll just get nothing on visiting http://

If you want it to be their choice, don't forget both mode which doesn't do any redirect - just lets you connect on either http or https.

After any switch it's wise to checkout: SMTP Auth Problems - Zimbra :: Wiki

You can remove some of the prompts by having them install the certificates in their browsers - even better of course is to use a Commercial Certificates - Zimbra :: Wiki
(New in 5.0 is an extension in your admin console gui that you can use to do that process a little easier, it generally works with most certs - there's one or two things that will be in the next release to correct minor issues/design shortcomings with that extension.)

Hows the other issue of this thread - did testing from other operating systems change the outcome at all?

I will look into commercial certificates.

The other issue crops up quite often in all of our linux boxes but are non existent in any other system that I have used... I haven't tried kde. all with firefox.
