From Provider Wiki

Below are instructions for using Mozilla Sunbird to connect to ISC's Zimbra service.

Zimbra Password

Zimbra's external calendar access is not integrated with Kerberos or the PennKey password system. In order for Sunbird to work, you must have a separate Zimbra username and password. The username is your Pennkey, but the password needs to be set using the Zimbra account serivces tool. If you need to set or reset your Zimbra password,

1. go to https://services.zimbra.upenn.edu/accountservices/
2. Login with your PennKey and PennKey password
3. Click the "Continue" button to edit your account
4. Click "Reset Password"
5. Enter your new Zimbra password twice (This does not change your PennKey password)
6. Click the "Reset Password" button
7. Logout of the Account sevices tool

This Zimbra password is used for the calendar login below.
