I have a question for anyone who may be able to help me.
We have just migrated our mail servers to Cyrus from Mercury (Pegasus
Mail) on Novell. One of the greatest features of Pegasus was the
ability for the system administrator to "become" another user -
essentially allowing the sysadmin to troubleshoot mail problems without
having to go to the end user workstation to see what the problem is.
I was wondering if Cyrus had a similar feature. I was snooping through
the imapd.conf man pages and found the following config option:
proxyservers: <none>
A list of users and groups that are allowed to proxy for other
users, separated by spaces. Any
user listed in this will be allowed to login for any other user: use
with caution.
Will this really work? How do you log in for another user - I must be
missing something... Also, we are using the Cyrus virtual server
config, with sasl ldap-enabled logins.
Any suggestions?
-John
