Proxy issue when using Zimbra Desktop for development

[asacchetto]

Hi,

I followed all the instructions on the wiki to use Zimbra Desktop as a development environment: I donwloaded the zimlet called com_zimbra_openalldomains. I tried to make the deploy manually. I tried to deploy manually the zimlet I´m developing since using a config_template.xml on the _dev folder is useless. But for any reason, it appears the steps on the wiki dont work. I can't deploy any zimlet using Zimbra Desktop. I suppose that's the reason why Im getting the 403 forbidden error when I try to use my zimlet.

I found also that other people had this issue and asked for help on the forum. But I wasnt able to find any response. Somebody knows what could be the problem? Im running Zimbra Desktop 1.0.3 build 1691 on Windows XP.

This is the output I get when I try to deploy a zimlet:

[] INFO: Deploying on localhost
[] INFO: Deploy initiated. (check the servers mailbox.log for the status)

Thanks,

A few things to check:

ZIMLET DEPLOYED?

You can confirm the zimlet is deployed by checking the {zd-install-dir}/jetty/webapps/service/zimlet to see if com_zimbra_openalldomains folder is present after you run the deploy command.

Double-check your deploy command syntax. The section of Zimlet Developer's Guide on deploying zimlets to Zimbra Desktop on Windows had a type-o (some letters were caps when they needed to be lowercase). I've corrected the problem and deploy syntax on the wiki page is correct now.

Zimlet Developers Guide: Dev Environment Setup

java -cp {required-jar-files} -Dzimbra.config=conf/localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy c:\tmp\com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip

ZIMLET WORKING?
You can test what domains your proxy is allowing by accessing the proxy directly. By default, Yahoo! can get thru so the following would work:

http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?.../www.yahoo.com

And the following will give a 403 error:

http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?...www.google.com

After you deploy the com_zimbra_openalldomains zimlet, you should be able to access Google or whatever other domains you need.

To get the correct server and port to use in this URL for your instance of Zimbra Desktop, checkout the following section:

Zimbra Developer's Guide: Accessing Zimbra Desktop via Browser

This section of the Zimlet Developer's Guide talks about accessing the proxy directly for testing as described above:

ZCS 6.0:Zimlet Developers Guide:Proxy Servlet Setup - Zimbra :: Wiki

Thanks for your reply,

As you explained, the zimlet is not installed. I already checked the folder you mentioned to see if the zimlets I tried to deploy where there, but none of them appears there (my custom zimlet nor com_zimbra_openalldomains).

That's must be the root of the problem. But I dont know how to fix it. Any idea?

I used this command to do the deploy, executed on the folder where zdesktop is installed:

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar;jetty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib \commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;jetty\common\lib\json.jar;jetty\common\lib \dom4j-1.5.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbracommon.jar;jetty\we bapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy e:\Com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip

And this is the output:

[] INFO: Deploying on localhost
[] INFO: Deploy initiated. (check the servers mailbox.log for the status)

Thanks,

[sposetti]

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar;jetty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib \commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;jetty\common\lib\json.jar;jetty\common\lib \dom4j-1.5.jar;jetty\common\lib\zimbracommon.jar;jetty\we bapps\service\WEB-INF\lib\zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy e:\Com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip


Double check that you are using lower-case com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip for the Zimlet Package name. That name of the zimlet is case-sensitive and is "com_zimbra_openalldomains" (lower-case), which goes in a package "com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip" (lower-case). You deploy command looks good except for the path the package, where you have a "capital Com...".

[asacchetto]

You were right, the file I downloaded from the wiki is called "Com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip". When I lower-case the name, it was promptly installed to /jetty/webapps/service/zimlet. It also passed the test using http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?.../www.yahoo.com as your recommended.

Thanks for your advise,

[asacchetto]

Partially solved, now the zimlet is installed, but the problem of the allowed domain still persist.

It seems yahoo.com was already an allowed domain, the openalldomains zimlet is installed, but I still get a 403 forbidden error when I try to access other domain, like google. Im testing the domain permission using http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?...www.google.com

Thanks,

[sposetti]

OK. Confirm you did a desktop service restart "Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services > Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service" and see if that helps?

[asacchetto]

Confirmed. I also restarted Windows XP to see if that helps. No luck so far. The 403 Forbidden error still persist. The openalldomain zimlet appears now on the panel item.

Thanks,

[sposetti]

Let's turn DEBUG logging on for zimlets.

1. Browse to {zd-install-dir}/config/log4j.properties
2. Open the file for edit (for example, with notepad.exe).
3. Add the following line to the bottom of the file:

log4j.logger.zimbra.zimlet=DEBUG

4. Save the file.
5. Restart the Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop service (on Windows)

Now if you look in the zdesktop log in {zd-install-dir}/log/zdesktop.log, you'll start to see log messages that start with:

2010-01-14 09:08:18,163 DEBUG [btpool0-2] [] zimlet -....
2010-01-14 09:09:08,284 INFO [Thread-22] [] zimlet - ....

When you deploy a zimlet, you'll see:

2010-01-14 09:12:33,862 INFO [Thread-23] [] zimlet - Deploying Zimlet com_zimbra_openalldomains in LDAP.
2010-01-14 09:12:33,869 INFO [Thread-23] [] zimlet - Installing Zimlet com_zimbra_openalldomains on this host.

2010-01-14 09:12:33,951 INFO [Thread-23] [] zimlet - Enabling Zimlet com_zimbra_openalldomains

When you undeploy a zimlet, you'll see:

2010-01-14 09:12:55,209 INFO [Thread-24] [] zimlet - Uninstalling Zimlet com_zimbra_openalldomains from LDAP.
2010-01-14 09:12:55,210 INFO [Thread-24] [] zimlet - Removing Zimlet com_zimbra_openalldomains from COS default

Since the com_zimbra_openalldomains zimlet is appearing in your panel, and the com_zimbra_openalldomains zimlet directory is being created under the {zd-install-dir}/jetty/webapps/service/zimlet directory, we are fairly confident the zimlet is being deployed. If you want, you can undeploy and re-deploy just to confirm logging is working.

Now with all that squared away, when you hit the proxy directly for a known working domain (like yahoo.com), you should see the following log output:

http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?.../www.yahoo.com

Log output:

[asacchetto]

It happens exactly as you described.
1) I undeployed com_zimlet_openalldomains

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar;je
tty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\co

-Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil undeploy c
om_zimbra_openalldomains

2) Restarted the service Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service
3) I deployed again com_zimlet_openalldomains

java -cp jetty\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-httpclient-3.0.jar;je
tty\common\lib\mail.jar;jetty\common\lib\commons-logging.jar;jetty\common\lib\co

-Dzimbra.config=conf\localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy e:\
com_zimbra_openalldomains.zip

4) Restarted the service Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service
5) Tried http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?.../www.yahoo.com

The page loaded correctly and it was logged.

6) Tried http://127.0.0.1:7633/service/proxy?...www.google.com

403 Forbidden. Nothing on the log.
