Hide Zimbra’s Login Page from Search Engines

Hi Zimbra Admins, Partners & Friends,

By default, Zimbra’s login page is indexed in search engines. Would you rather hide it from search engines?

Here’s how …

zmprov mcf +zimbraResponseHeader "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff"
zmprov mcf +zimbraResponseHeader "X-Robots-Tag: noindex"
zmprov mcf +zimbraResponseHeader "Referrer-Policy: no-referrer"
zmprov mcf zimbraMailKeepOutWebCrawlers TRUE
zmmailboxdctl restart

Curious about other Zimbra Admin tasks? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks & hope you are healthy,

Your Zimbra Team

Which versions of the Zimbra suite does this work in? 8.6.x? 8.8.x?

Hey there!
What to do if your login page is already indexed in search engines? Would this method work still?
