Hi!
I was reading this article https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Col ... repository and noticed 2 things.
- It does not mention that during the install the option to perform these steps is automated. I just think it could be relevant to include that line in the article.
- It says that optionally, selinux could be enabled. It was always my understanding that selinux was to be disabled as a requisite (in fact, is one of the first things support reviews and even asked me to do for the times i had it in permissive mode instead). Does this requisite changed? I can't find any info regarding selinux in installation/requisite/admin guides now
Thanks!

Hi,
Regarding the SELinux as requisite, does anybody knows what's the requirement now? According to that article the SELiunx could be optionally enabled, install documentation now just says nothing about SELinux when in previous versions it used to explain how it was a requirment to disable it.
I'm kind of confused, can anybody please help me with this? I know that it is possible to make it work, but my question is, is it supported by Zimbra?

Re: Article review
FYI, after asking Zimbra support about this, the answer is that SELinux is still required to be disabled even if not mentioned in the current version of the installation guides.
"""
