Script Notify Expired Password on Zimbra

Posted by

When using password policy on Zimbra like minimum password age and maximum password age, user will not get notification when their password expire. I want users get notification when their password come near to expired. I am looking for that feature and finally get the script who can do that. The script can be found from Wuxmedia github at this link : https://github.com/wuxmedia/Zimbra_passpoll/blob/master/passpoll.sh

I am using these script with some modification for adjust with my Zimbra environment

# Download script

cd /srv/
wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imanudin11/script/master/cek-expire-password-zimbra.sh
chmod +x cek-expire-password-zimbra.sh
bash cek-expire-password-zimbra.sh

Note : The script have policy 90 days password expired. Please change and adjust with your environment.

The following is example when users get password policy and come near to expired password

Good luck and hopefully useful 😉

  1. Hello,

    Thanks you for sharing,
    I’ve a doubt, how can I exec that script? (Correct way to do that).

    Would be like this “./cek-expire-password-zimbra.sh &” to keep in background running, because when I run using sudo script run ok, but my terminal session get stuck and whether I use crtl+c to get out terminal session script also will be closed.

    Thanks a lot!

    1. Hi Luiz,

      You can use screen before execute the script

      screen
      ./cek-expire-password-zimbra.sh
      

      If your terminal get stuck, you can re-ssh and view background process by type screen -x

    1. Hi Roney,
      If you open the script, notifications will be sent before 7, 3 and 1 days from expiry.

      # First notification in days, then last warning:
      FIRST="7"
      LAST="3"

    I tried the above patch but i still has problem in the command that send the mail through the zimbra LMTP to the account that its password expired, the main issue is the folder path of the postifx/sendmail and the command, i tested outside the script and inside it same error
    echo “Subject:TestSendMail”;echo “Hi” | $SENDMAIL -f admin@admin.com
    Subject:TestSendMailFromZimbra
    -bash: -f: command not found
    also ./script.bash: line 69: -f: command not found
    Is the actual path is /opt/zimbra/common/sbin/ ?!!!
    Anyone can help me in that

    1. Hi,
      In the script, Sendmail will automatically found by this command:

      # Sendmail executable
      SENDMAIL=$(ionice -c3 find /opt/zimbra/ -type f -iname sendmail)
      

      If you want test, you can point Sendmail at /opt/zimbra/common/sbin/sendmail (8.7 and later) or /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/sendmail (8.6 and below)

  8. Hello,

    script line 108
    108 echo “Subject: List of accounts with expired passwords” “$EXP_BODY” | $SENDMAIL -f “$FROM” “$ADMIN_RECIPIENT”
