Hello,

By default Zentyal will install a MySQL server without any root password during the Zarafa installation. In many scenarios, this may be very risky.

HowTo close this security hole:
1) Access to your Zentyal server CLI

2) Reconfigure your MySQL server using this command:
Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1
3) Enter the root password when prompted to do so

Et voilĂ !

Best,

Marcus
