How I Integrated z-push with zimbra

[sandmik]

I looked at several ways to integrate z-push with zimbra with minimum modifications to zimbra itself.

Whether you have your z-push installation on the same server or not, you can use this method.

I personally installed z-push on the same server but I changed the port of z-push into 4433 (example).

Then to integrate z-push with my zimbra installation, this is what I did:


(change into zimbra username)
su zimbra
or 
sudo su zimbra (needed for ubuntu) 

1. change the permissions on this file to be able to edit it (rw):
chmod 644 /opt/zimbra/conf/nginx/templates/nginx.conf.web.https.default.template

2. edit the file and go to the location
location ^~ /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

3. in that block:
a. change:
proxy_pass ${web.upstream.target};
->
proxy_pass https://z-push.example.com:4433;

b. change (not sure if this is needed, but the first change should be enough)
set $mailhostport ${web.http.uport} 
->
set $mailhostport 4433;

4. restart cache:
zmproxyctl restart

That's it, you are free to point your proxy_pass entry to the same server or different server.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sandmik,



wow, thanks for sharing. Usually, i am using Apache and make port 80 for Z-Push and 443 for Zimbra. On this guidance, where path location of Z-Push?

Hi Ahmad,



The location of z-push is irrelevant for this technique.



You could have it on your own machine or a different machine, doesn't matter, the setting that you will change in nginx.conf.web.https.default.template will point to the url address of where your z-push is located and not the path location.



Cheers.

proxy_pass https://z-push.example.com:4433; should do it, careful with the updates
