Zimbra + Z-Push Part 3 : user restriction
Recently, i was evaluating open source ActiveSync solutions, and came up with this installation and configuration guide.
Zimbra + Z-Push Part 1 : installation
Zimbra + Z-Push Part 2: configuration
Problem description
I was unable to find any solutions for Z-Push and Zimbra to restrict users form accessing the mailboxes.
Once the server is exposed to the internet, every user on the Zimbra server is exposed to brute force attacks.
This is happening because Z-Push backend uses Zimbra soap connection, which is accessible to every Zimbra server account, and can’t be disabled per account.
To circumvent this scenario, I used main function GetUserDevicePermission () from this old post, modified it to handle subnet restriction, and instead of adding check to every request type, added check to the ZimbraBackend Logon() function.
I will describe changes I made in this article.
Zimbra + Z-Push Part 2: configuration
Recently, i was evaluating open source ActiveSync solutions, and came up with this installation and configuration guide.
Zimbra + Z-Push Part 1 : installation
Zimbra + Z-Push Part 3 : user restriction
Zimbra side
Modify the default zimbra nginx template
http(s)://%mailserver%/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
Zimbra out of the box has the ability to forward requests to this URL to Exchange / ActiveSync Server, so we just need to configure the upstream proxy to forward requests to z-push server.

Highlight row if current user exists in a people or group column in a list view (as user or SPgroup member)
Recently, i had an interesting request.
I needed to change formatting of an element in a list, if current user is selected in one of the list columns.
List column type is “people or group column”, multi-value.
After a bit of investigation on the matter, i ended up with the below script.
