# Enable access to server via network firewall (OR Cloud firewall)
# Enable access to port 389 of Zimbra server via firewalld:
#:<pre>
#:: firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=389/tcp --permanent
#:: firewall-cmd --reload
#:</pre>
# Then test connectivity to Zimbra LDAP via:
#:<pre>
#:: ldapsearch -x -h <email-server-fqdn-or-ip>:389 -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -D 'uid=saurabh,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' -W dn,mail
