Zimbra

I have been using the IMAP with all of our iPhones (opensource edition). Just got a trial license for NE, installed and enabled mobil. When I goto setup the iPhone using exchange settings, it say "Exchange Account verification failed". Note: I got multiple domains on same server I think this is part of it. I tried every possibility on the domain\user etc. on the iPhone exchange account wizard and nothing works. Is there something else that needs to be setup to make this work that I am missing?

Here's how mine is set (using generic terms for the domains etc of course)

Email: username@domain.tld
Server: zimbrahostname.domain.tld
Username: username
Password: *******
Use SSL: On

That's pretty much it, make sure the iphone can reach port 443 on the zimbra server and you should be good to go. Now, this is using an account on the zimbra server that's in the default domain, even though there are otgher domains present. Try that first to make sure everything is working.

Also, have a look at the log files to see what's happening, try /opt/zimbra/log/audit.log to see login attempts.

Dirk,
My port 443 is not open, but I did try it with ssl disabled on the iPhone. Still didn't work.

edit: got it to work thanks for your help.
had to change to mixed mode for http:// https://

Glad you got it working. The iphone will want a pretty much permenant connection to your server, so you'll need to have 443 accessible from the outside world, or from a VPN (although I've not tried vpn's on the iphone yet). I'd recommend not having port 80 open to the outside though.
