Hi,
You was right. I need to create a cyrus user in my ldap.
I think admins musn't have real imap account... so don't create a
"cyrus" imap mailbox.
The question is "what auth scheme is used when using cyradm" ? and "what
can I do to make cyradm use the same scheme as a normal imap connection
(in fact, pam-ldap) ?
Finaly, doing it with php seems easy. Yes, the php-cyradm is fine for
logging into the server via sochet (telnet). What if I want to use
php->imap ??
the function is imap_open :
int imap_open (string mailbox, string username, string password [, int
flags])
as :
$mbox = imap_open("{localhost:143}INBOX","user_id","password");
for the cyrus user, which does not have a mailbox, what should the
"INBOX" string be replaced with ??
Finaly, Maybe this should be added to the doc/FAQ about how to create a
mailbox. I'll be pleased to help...
Cheers and thank for your help. I'll tell you more as soon as everything
work.
