Hi,
Assuming that
* you are running linux (where your Cyrus server is installed),
* your ldap server is setup and you have user accounts in it,
* you can make ldap lookups from the machine where cyrus is setup (your
ldap.conf is properly setup)
* your cyrus server is setup and functioning and
* you compiles SASL with PAM support,
then all you have to do is set
sasl_pwcheck_method: pam
in your imap.conf
and set these two files in /etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/imap
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
account sufficient
/lib/security/pam_ldap.so
/etc/pam.d/pop
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
account sufficient
/lib/security/pam_ldap.so
now create a user in LDAP directory called "testuser"
make sure that the attributes
uid and userPassword are defined.
then create an account for "testuser" in Cyrus
and try to login as user "testuser"
If you want to manage all these accounts via an interface then
<plug>
have a look at www.ispman.org
You can use the software ISPMan
to manage your isp (cyrus mailboxes and ldap accounts).
</plug>
