RE: Zimbra 5.x to 6.0.6

Did see this posted on Zimbra’s site (if you are using ldaps WAIT for 6.0.7):

Bug 46264 - Upgrade issue when using ldaps

Fri, 04/23/2010 - 11:10 — tpubliski@zimbra.com

Anyone using ldaps should wait to upgrade as upgrading or installing 6.0.6
will fail and require a Disaster Recovery to bring your system back online.

Workaround

For Upgrades
1. Before running the upgrade, use zmlocalconfig to set ldap_url and
ldap_master_url to use ldap (instead of ldaps), the ldap_port to 389,
and ldap_starttls_supported to 1:

zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldap://mail.domain.com:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldap://mail.domain.com:389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_port=389
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_starttls_support=1

Once this is completed, restart ZCS and ensure everything is still working properly.

2. Do the upgrade.

3. After the upgrade, set ldap_url and ldap_master_url back to ldaps, ldap_port back to 636, ldap_starttls_supported to 0 and
make sure ssl_allow_untrusted_certs is 0 (this is important):

zmlocalconfig -e ldap_url=ldaps://mail.domain.com:636
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_master_url=ldaps://mail.domain.com:636
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_port=636
zmlocalconfig -e ldap_starttls_support=0
zmlocalconfig -e ssl_allow_untrusted_certs=0

Once this is completed, restart ZCS and ensure everything is still working properly.

For New Installs
1. Do NOT select ldaps during the install.
2. After the install, if you still want to use ldaps, make sure
ssl_allow_untrusted_certs is 0:

The fix for this bug will be included in ZCS 6.0.7. See Bug 46264.

As always, if there are any questions regarding this, please contact Zimbra Support prior to upgrading to ensure you have the correct information to prevent extended downtime.

Thank you,

Subject: Zimbra 5.x to 6.0.6

Hello,

Our window to upgrade to 6 is approaching and was wondering if anyone is experiencing any big problems with 6.0.6?. On the forums I've seen a big thread about GAL lookup slowness. I also see there was an issue with attachments but that has been fixed in the support portal. Any help would be appreciated.
