- 14. 14Zimbra Scripting - zmprov The zmprov tool performs all provisioning tasks in Zimbra LDAP, including creating accounts, aliases, domains, COS, distribution lists, and calendar resources Example: ● Creating user. zmprov ca omar@jabetto.lab inibudi ● Set user attribute zmprov ma omar@jabetto.lab sn Mochtar ● Get user attributes zmprov ga omar@jabetto.lab ● Deleting user. zmprov da omar@jabetto.lab
- 15. 15Zimbra Scripting - zmprov Binded with bash for scripting purpose Example: ● Create 100 dummy user with default password selamat123 for user in {1..100}; do zmprov ca user$x@jabetto.lab selamat123 done Const: slow in every executing zmprov, Java app behaviour (?). Solution: Dump zmprov arguments in one file then set as input stream with arguments -f Example: ● Create file contains zmprov arguments cat > /tmp/runme ca user1@jabetto.lab selamat123 ca user2@jabetto.lab selamat123 ca user3@jabetto.lab selamat123 ... ● Run in single zmprov command zmprov -f /tmp/runme Const: Cannot add logic from input file stream. Solution: Using direct zimbra API call in one java process instance.
- 17. 17Zimbra Scripting - zmpython ● zmpython = Jython + Zimbra Java API. ● Included in every zimbra distribution release ( /opt/zimbra/bin/zmpython ). ● Logic Flexibility in single java process. ● Rather slow in execution, but blazingly fast while executing python with zimbra Library. ● We can do all task beyond zimbra API. ● But ….. There is no such documentation refer to zmpython, so we are call it ZAlien
- 18. 18Zimbra Scripting - zmpython So, The best zmpython documentation is the source code of Zimbra it self. Some of forking available in github. Eg:
- 19. 19Zimbra Scripting - zmpython Example: creating 100 user in batch with selamat123 as default password ● Create python script then save/upload it to zimbra server. ● Execute it with zmpython command. /opt/zimbra/bin/zmpython /tmp/create100user.py

- 21. 21 Zimbra Scripting Using zimbra API
- 22. 22Zimbra Scripting - Zimbra API ● For integrating 3th party apps to zimbra with ease. ● You can calling what Zimbra Admin Console do and beyond. ● Good documentation are there :) . ● Use zmsoap command for direct soap call or as testing purpose. ● Bunch of Zimbra API library for (some) famous proglang are there (eg: github). ● In Jabetto, we are using it a lot (almost) in every our product or for some task automation.
