The Mobile Password Feature

Mobile Passwords and You

The Mobile Password feature allows Global and Delegated Admins to set an additional password for an account to be used for Exchange ActiveSync authentications only.

The main benefits of using this feature are:

  • Enforce set-and-forget safe passwords, regardless of any other password policy, so that you won’t need to change the password saved on all mobile devices synchronized with an account should this account’s Zimbra password change.

  • Avoid the real password to be disclosed in case of unauthorized access to the device/client.

A Mobile Password will not be valid for Webmail/POP3/IMAP/SMTP logins, and the account password will not be valid for mobile logins.

How to Set a Mobile Password for a Mailbox

Setting a mobile password is easy:

  • Open the Zimbra Administration Console.

  • Right-click the user for which you want to set a Mobile Password and select Edit.

  • In the Mobile tab within the user’s settings, check the Enable mobile password checkbox.

  • Enter the desired password in the Mobile password field and enter it again in the `Confirm mobile password field. You can also choose to generate a random mobile password by clicking the `Generate random password" button.

  • Save.

Mobile Device Management a.k.a. Mobile Provisioning

What is Mobile Device Management?

Mobile Device Management (MDM - also known as provisioning) allows an administrator to define a set of rules and security settings that are applied Over The Air to one or more mobile devices, ranging from PIN policies to Allowed/Blocked app lists and including one time commands, such as the remote wipe of the entire device.

MDM effectively allows administrators to limit and restrict the use of corporate mobile devices to avoid risky or improper behaviors.

MDM is also a priceless aid for Bring Your Own Device corporate policies, allowing users to connect their personal mobile devices to the corporate servers, while reducing the risk of security breaches to a minimum.

Provisioning Features Available on Your Client

Not all provisioning features are available on all clients. A good comparison of Exchange ActiveSync clients can be found on Wikipedia

Zextras Suite and MDM

Zextras Suite features advanced MDM features through the Exchange ActiveSync protocol version 14+.

Mobile policies can be enabled at COS and mailbox levels, allowing both a quick one for many setup and user-based customized management. In both cases, Mobile Management Options are available in the Mobile tab.

Provisioning Options

The following provisioning options are available:

  • Enable Mobile Device Management: Enable or disable the use of mobile policies for the current user/COS.

  • Allow non-provisionable devices: Allow the user to synchronize any device that does not support provisioning.

  • Allow partial policy enforcement on device: Allow the user to synchronize any device that does not support one or more applicable policies.

By default, MDM is disabled in Zextras Mobile. To enable navigate to Zextras Suite → Mobile → Advanced Settings and check the “Enable Mobile Device Management” option

Enforceable Policies

Enforceable Policies are available right below the Mobile Devices list, grouped in the following categories:

  • Sync Settings: Set synchronization spans and limits.

  • Device Settings: Enable or disable device features such as camera, WiFi, removable storage or Bluetooth.

  • Device Security Settings: Force an unlock code and define the minimum requirements for the code itself.

  • Device Applications: Enable or disable standard device applications such as the Browser and POP/IMAP client or unsigned apps.

Two lists are also available for application whitelist/blacklist management:

  • Approved Applications: A customizable list of approved applications.

  • Blocked Applications: A customizable list of blocked applications that won’t be usable on the device.

Mobile Password

While conceptually similar, the mobile password feature is not part of Mobile Device Management and can be used with any version of the EAS protocol.

SyncStates

Zextras Mobile and the SyncState

The SyncState (short for Synchronization Status) is a set of information kept on the server about the synchronization with a mobile device. Each time a device establishes a connection with Mobile NG, the following steps take place:

  • 1. The device requests a folderSync operation to synchronize the local Folders with the ones on the server.

`    One SyncKey per local folder is sent (or a single SyncKey set to '0' if this is the first connection between the device and the server)   `

  • 2. The server replies with a list of available folders.

`    One SyncKey per folder is sent by the server.`

  • 3. Then, the device requests an itemSync operation to synchronize all due items.

`    The server stores the items synchronized in the SyncState.`

  • 4. After completing the itemSync operation, the device sends a 'ping' command to keep the connection alive.

`    Step 4 is repeated as long as no changes happen to the synchronized account.`

Every time a new item is stored on the mailbox or an old item is modified, the server notifies the availability to the device, which closes the active connection (the one kept alive by the ping command) and repeats steps 3 and 4.

The SyncState is the combination of the SyncKeys saved on step 2 and the itemIds saved on step 3. It’s saved by the server per the userId/deviceId unique pair.

Sync Request

The Sync Request is the actual synchronization process, started by either Zextras Mobile or by the client. During a sync request, any change in the mailbox that happened since the last request is synchronized to the device and vice versa.

A sync request is issued when:

  • The SyncState changes.

  • A sync is forced client-side.

  • The current ping expires and a new one is sent by the device (the keepalive duration is defined by the client).

Managing the SyncStates

Via the Administration Zimlet

Zextras Mobile provides two options in the Administration Zimlet to manage the SyncStates of synchronized mobile devices:

  • Reset Device: Resets the device’s SyncState for a single account, forcing a full re-synchronization the next time the device connects to the server.

  • Wipe Device: Removes all the device’s SyncState and history from the server. Useful when a mobile device is not used anymore or is assigned to a different employee in the same company.

Via the CLI

To manage the SyncStates of synchronized mobile devices via the CLI, use one of the following commands:

The doRemoveDevice command

Syntax:
   zxsuite mobile doRemoveDevice {account} {device_id}

PARAMETER LIST

NAME            TYPE
account(M)      Account Name
device_id(M)    String

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite mobile doRemoveDevice john@example.com Appl79032X2WA4S
Removes John's Appl79032X2WA4S device SyncState

The doResetAccount command

Syntax:
   zxsuite mobile doResetAccount {account}

PARAMETER LIST

NAME          TYPE
account(M)    Account Name

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite mobile doResetAccount john@example.com
Resets all the device states for John's account

The doResetDevice command

Syntax:
   zxsuite mobile doResetDevice {account} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...

PARAMETER LIST

NAME            TYPE            DEFAULT
account(M)      Account Name
device_id(O)    String          all

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite mobile doResetDevice john@example.com Appl79032X2WA4S
Resets John's Appl79032X2WA4S device SyncState

Advanced Settings

Zextras Mobile Performance Tuning

Zextras Mobile provides three useful options to fine-tune Zextras Mobile according to system performance.

Performance Tuning Settings

Available Settings

  • Notifications Latency (ZxMobile_NotificationsLatency): The seconds of delay between an event on the server and its notification to the mobile device.

  • Use Instant Notifications (ZxMobile_UseInstantNotficiations): Enable/Disable instant notifications. Overrides Notifications Latency if true.

  • Max Ping Heartbeat (ZxMobile_MaxPingHeartbeat): Maximum interval between 'ping' commands.

All settings can be edited in the Administration Zimlet or via CLI using the setProperty command.

When to Edit the Performance Tuning Settings

Default settings should be optimal for most situations. If you experience one or more of the problems below, please apply the proper solution.

Problem Solution

High system load

Disable instant notifications

High system load after disabling instant notifications

Raise notification latency

Mobile users experience high network usage

Disable instant notifications and tweak notifications latency

Devices can connect but sessions are interrupted frequently

Adjust Max Ping Heartbeat according to your network configuration

Items are synchronized from server-to-device with an excessive delay

Lower notification latency or enable instant notifications

Shared Folders

Shared Folders and You (and Your Mobile)

With Zextras Suite, it’s possible to synchronize folders that are not owned by the user itself to mobile devices. This applies to all item types available through the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, so you’ll be able to sync any shared email folder, address book, calendar or task list to mobile devices.

Specific features available on mobile devices might differ, based on the client in use.

Not all clients support the synchronization of multiple address books, calendars or task lists via Exchange ActiveSync.

How to Sync a Shared Folder to Your Mobile Devices

To allow a higher level of control over synchronization, users are allowed to choose which shared folders are to be synchronized with their mobile devices.

Enable Mobile Synchronization for a Folder

To enable mobile synchronization for a shared folder:

  • Log in to the Zimbra Web Client.

  • Right-click the shared folder you want to sync.

  • Select Folder Sync Settings in the drop-down menu.

  • Check the Enable synchronization for this folder checkbox.

  • Press OK.

The new folder will be synchronized to any mobile device connected to the account.

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to shared folder synchronization:

  • It’s not possible to sync a mountpoint referring to a full account share.

  • It’s not possible to sync a subfolder of a shared folder, as doing so would return an incomplete folder tree.

  • It’s not possible to sync a read-only share, as the Exchange ActiveSync protocol does not envision the concept of a read-only resource. Synchronizing a read-only folder will cause severe inconsistencies between the client and the server, along with many errors.

EAS Filters

In the EAS protocol, the protocol version used for the synchronization is defined during the initial handshake and never changed. The server presents a list of all available protocol versions and the client chooses one among that list.

EAS filters are a way to limit the EAS version available to a subset of users or clients to ensure that the proper version is used.

Multiple EAS filters can be set up and will be evaluated in sequential order (see the getAllEASFilters and doMoveEASFilter commands below).

Anatomy of an EAS Filter

An EAS filter is composed of 5 parts:

  • Type: Defines the type of filter rule.

  • Parameter: The filtering identifier (e.g. device brand or email address).

  • Mode: Defines whether the software will limit the available versions or provide a fixed list.

  • easversions field: Contains the protocol versions enforced by the filter.

  • Blocking boolean value: Defines whether other filters are executed once the current one is successfully matched.

Managing EAS Filters

EAS filters are managed through the CLI using the following four dedicated commands.

  • zxsuite mobile getAllEASFilters

This command lists all existing filters.

Sample Output:

        filters

                ID                                                          0

                rule                                                        [type = always]
                easversions                                                 14.1
                blocking                                                    false

  • zxsuite mobile doAddEASFilter

This command adds a new EAS filter.

zxsuite mobile doAddEASFilter

Syntax:
   zxsuite mobile doAddEASFilter {and|or|regex|contains|account} {text|people@example.com|account=example@ff.com,contains=android} {add|subtract|fixed|limit} {easversions} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

PARAMETER LIST

parameter(M)      String             text|people@example.com|account=example@ff.com,contains=android
mode(M)           Multiple choice    add|subtract|fixed|limit
easversions(M)    String[,..]
blocking(O)       Boolean            true|false

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite mobile doAddEASFilter contains android fixed 2.5,12.0,14.1
Adds a protocol filter that will restrict the pool of available EAS versions to 2.5, 12.0 and 14.1 if the user agent name

	zxsuite mobile getAllEASFilters
command.

Mobile Account Loggers

Mobile account loggers are dedicated loggers that can output the entirety of a user’s EAS logs into a dedicated logfile, with a different verbosity than the one of the sync.log. This allows for quicker troubleshooting.

When creating an account logger, the following parameters must be specified:

  • The target account.

  • The log_level (verbosity) of the log.

  • The dedicated log_file.

  • The window_size to enforce on all devices synchronizing with the account while the logger is running.

Account loggers are removed automatically when the mailboxd is stopped or restarted and do not usually survive a mailboxd crash. Log files won’t be affected.

Account Logger Management

Account loggers can only be managed via the CLI through the following commands:

zxsuite mobile doAddAccountLogger

zxsuite mobile doAddAccountLogger
command doAddAccountLogger requires more parameters

Syntax:
   zxsuite mobile doAddAccountLogger {account} {debug|info|warn|err|crit} {log_file} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

ABQ - Allow/Block/Quarantine device control

ABQ Service

The "Allow/Block/Quarantine" feature allows for granular access control of mobile devices connecting to the server. It’s a "pre-emptive" type of security feature, meaning that it acts upon the first connection to the server and it’s made to ensure that only authorized devices can finalize synchronization with server. This allows a full administrator to keep track of all mobile device used in their network. Presently only CLI tools are provided; a web GUI will be released in the future.

Components

The ABQ feature is composed of three main logical components:

  • a Device Control List

  • an Authorization Engine

  • a set of CLI tools

Device Control List

The Device Control List, also known as the "ABQ List", holds the information about allowed devices within the NG config engine. Devices can be added to the Device Control List via CLI based on their “Device ID” which can be obtained via CLI.

It is also possible to further limit access by limiting the accounts that can synchronise with the server on a specific device.

On module startup, if the Device Control List is empty all mobile devices previously recognized by the Zimbra server will be imported as Allowed.
Authorization Engine

The Authorization Engine takes care of checking devices against the Device Control List and setting their ABQ status to the appropriate value.

Each rule is applied to all accounts connecting using a device it is a device id. It applies to a specific account connecting using that device if it has the format device_id/account_id or device_id/accountName

CLI Toolset.

The CLI Toolset allows administrators to interact with the device control list and with the synchronization status of a device, specifically to:

  • Display the Device Control List

  • Display all Quarantined and Blocked Devices

  • Add one or more devices to the Device Control List

  • Move a device from “Quarantine” to “Allowed” or “Blocked”

  • Change the synchronization status of a device

Every time the administrator changes a device’s status in an ABQ-enabled environment, depending on the issued state the device will be forced to re-sync folders with the server resulting in an immediate re-route to either a dummy virtual mailbox that will explain to the user what’s happened, or to the real mailbox to perform the re-sync.

ABQ Modes

The ABQ feature is triggered for every mobile device that tries to synchronize with server, and can be set to one of four possible modes: "Permissive", "Interactive", "Strict” and "Disabled". This attribute is Global for all the cluster.

"Permissive" mode:

The Authorization Engine is not active, so after authenticating the user and checking their account status for safety reasons, the synchronization will continue. It is still possible to block specific devices but non-blocked devices will always be allowed to sync.

"Interactive" mode:

After authenticating the user and checking their account status for safety reasons, the Device Control system will check the "Device ID" sent by the device against the list of allowed devices:

  • if the device/user couple is in the "allowed" list the synchronization will continue.

  • if the device/user couple is not in the device list but device is in the "allowed" list the synchronization will continue.

  • if the device is not in the “allowed” list the synchronization will be paused, a dummy email notifying the user of its "Quarantine" status will be sent and the connection will be set to "Quarantine" status.

Administrators can be notified at regular intervals, and every notification email will only include new Quarantined devices. They will then be able to allow or deny the synchronization for each device using the appropriate CLI tools.

"Strict" mode:

After authenticating the user and checking their account status for safety reasons, the Device Control system will check the "Device ID" sent by the device against the list of allowed devices:

  • if the device/user couple or the device by itself is in the "allowed" list the synchronization will continue.

  • if the device is not in the “allowed” list the synchronization will be put in "Blocked" state, no data will be synchronized and a dummy email notifying the user of the device’s "Blocked" status will be sent.

"Disabled" mode:

ABQ is disabled, no checks are triggered and no policies are enforced.

ABQ Mode Control

The current mode can be checked by running the following command:

zxsuite config global get attribute abqMode

The ABQ mode can be changed running the following command:

zxsuite config global set attribute abqMode value [Permissive|Interactive|Strict|Disabled]

Dummy data

The feature makes use of “Dummy emails” and a “Dummy mailbox” to put devices on hold while waiting for authorization (Interactive Mode) or to notify their “Blocked” status (Permissive Mode, Interactive Mode and Strict Mode).

The Dummy Mailbox is a virtual mailbox consisting of only an “Inbox” folder that will be synchronized to the device while this is in either Quarantine or Block status. Dummy Emails are predefined email messages that are synchronized to a device in Quarantine or Block status to alert the user. For now these messages aren’t customizable, and will be localized in the future. Whenever the ABQ status of a device is changed, the device’s sync state will be reset.

This was designed to make sure the user knows what’s happening, the alternative being forcing the synchronization to fail with no descriptive response for the user itself – which would likely cause a significant overhead on support calls.

Notifications

Administrators can be notified via email of quarantined devices at a specific interval defined by the abqNotificationsInterval NG configuration attribute, expressed in milliseconds:

The interval can be checked by running the following command:

zxsuite config global get attribute abqNotificationsInterval

The interval can be changed running the following command:

zxsuite config global set attribute abqNotificationsInterval value [delay in milliseconds]

By default, the abqNotificationsInterval is set to 0 - meaning that no notifications will be delivered.

ABQ Service Status

The ABQ service status can be checked running the following command:

zxsuite mobile getServices

The service can be stopped or started using the default service control of the Mobile NG module:

zxsuite mobile doStartService abq
zxsuite mobile doStopService abq

When mode is Disabled ABQ service won’t automatically start and devices are always allowed to sync.

ABQ CLI

A list of all ABQ CLI commands can be displayed running:

$ zxsuite mobile abq
