Zimbra Conversion Server
Port 7047 is used primarily by the Zimbra Collaboration Suite's conversion server component, which facilitates document and attachment content conversion within the Zimbra environment. It enables the transformation of various file formats to ensure browser and client compatibility, supporting streamlined mail and collaboration workflows..
The Zimbra Conversion Server is an auxiliary component in the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS), enabling the real-time conversion of documents and attachments into web-friendly formats. This allows end-users to preview a vast array of file types directly within their email clients or web interfaces, improving usability without relying on local applications.
Operating typically over port 7047 using TCP, the conversion server communicates with the main Zimbra mailbox server to receive content conversion requests. It handles various file types, including documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and images, converting them into HTML or other formats suitable for in-browser rendering, thus ensuring a consistent user experience across platforms.
This component is usually installed alongside Zimbra's core services or on dedicated nodes, depending on deployment size and scaling needs. While the port usage is relatively straightforward, integration between multiple Zimbra modules and external clients makes secure communication and access control essential.
