You could have your imapd authenticate against
something other than /etc/passwd, and map the
usernames in said other authentication mechanism to
the appropriate mail boxes. There's no real reason
nowadays to have a system user for every email user.
Generally speaking, what you want likely doesn't
concern your webmail app at all so much as it does
your imapd. I use dovecot and have found its
configuration to be extremely flexible while not
overwhelmingly complex. You may want to check it out.
I'm using it with a mysql backend as well as exim,
and they have no problem authenticating against the
same mysql tables very easily.
Take care, mdh

Hi Roberto,
I try to avoid that beast of horde...but most
(including Horde, if memory doesn't fail me),simply make an imap connection to
your server and pass on whatever auth you give toit.... IOW, whatever works
for imap works with webmail.
Yes.. That's how it works now.. horde simply
delegates to imp that
does the authentication to the imap server.. what I
mean is that
as users unix accounts are named like aaa01, aaa02,
aab01, but
they are mapped to email addresses like
joe@xxxxxxxxxxx,
info@xxxxxxxxxxx and info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, I'd
like to let
the user authenticate to the webmail using the email
address,
and then have some piece of software map the email
address to
the local unix account before attempting the auth
process..
I found out that imp provides hook points to do this
kind
of things and maybe I'll go that direction, but I
just
would like to hear what other people are doing..
maybe
have aliases in /etc/passwd (ie different usernames,
same UID/GID)?
Best regards.
Robi.
understand the simplicity."
anyway, it wouldn't be too hard to test, right?
