Here's a quick rundown on how to get MailArchiva working with Zimbra for ldap authentication.

This is for the host mail.example.com, the Base DN: is for addresses that would be user@mail.example.com if your useres would just be user@example.com just remove "dc=mail," from the Base DN.

You can retrieve your Service Account Password with the following command ran as the zimbra user: zmlocalconfig -s zimbra_ldap_password

In the Assignment Roles defined below adminuser@mail.example.com would be an administrator account, you can set this to any valid account. All other active users are assigned the user role. You must have roles set up before you can test the connection.

LDAP Server Address: mail.example.com:389 (FQDN:port)

Base DN: dc=mail,dc=example,dc=com

Service DN: cn=config

Service Account Password: yourpasswordhere

Bind Attribute: uid

Email Attribute: mail

Assign Roles to User/s:

Assignment 0: Role: administrator

LDAP Attribute: UID

Match Criterion: adminuser (regular expression)

Assignment 1: Role: user

LDAP Attribute: zimbraMailStatus

Match Criterion: enabled

The above configuration did not work for me, but was very, very close. I followed the advice I found here, and changed the Bind Attribute: from "uid" to "mail", and all started working.
