Sync iPhone contacts with Zimbra using Funambol

To sync my iPhone contacts with Zimbra, I use Funambol for data synchronisation.
It works perfectly, also your contact photo's from your iPhone will be visible in Zimbra.

Syncing Calender is not posible yet on the iPhone app, but will be availiable soon, if you follow this instruction, your server will be ready for it.

Install funambol on your Zimbra server:
dowload the latest version here

apt-get install libxext6:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxi6:i386
run as root: 

./funambol-<version>.bin

check if funambol is running with a web browser:

http://<server>:8080/funambol/

Install the Zimbra module:
download the latest version here
Unzip it, and copy this connector to the right place: 

cp ./ZimbraConnector_<version>/output/ZimbraConnector.s4j /opt/Funambol/ds-server/modules/ZimbraConnector.s4j

after this you can delete the unzipped dir ./ZimbraConnector_<version>

create the config dir: 

mkdir /opt/Funambol/config/connector/

create the file /opt/Funambol/config/connector/ZimbraConnector.xml :

<java version="1.5.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
 <object class="ru.korusconsulting.connector.config.ConnectorConfig">
  <void property="dataSource">
   <string>jdbc/fnblds</string> 
  </void>
 </object>
</java>

edit /opt/Funambol/ds-server/install.properties , add the Zimbra connector to last line: 

modules-to-install=content-provider-8.7.0,email-connector-8.7.0,foundation-8.7.0,phones-support-8.7.0,webdemo-8.7.0,ZimbraConnector

Install the admin software on your client, or run it direct on the server, if you have X:

log in to your Funambol server, with admin/sa port 8080

create a user with the same name as in Zimbra, with role user, for syncing with Zimbra

Delete all PIM entry's (by rightclick):

Add the new syncsources in the Zimbra Connector: card, scard, cal, event, scal, stask and task
