Hi All, First of all, Thank you, thank you Simon!! We have been using varients of your LDAP patch for years now, and it is most appreciated.
One issue we have had however is that the Sasl 1.5.x and earlier patches all work via pwcheck. This means that authentication is single threaded since all authentication requests are processed by a single pwcheck daemon. This also means a single point of failure if pwcheck crashes or stops responding. A pwcheck daemon makes sense when accessing a restricted file like the shadow password file, but it seems like it is unnecessary when accessing a remote LDAP server. Does anyone know if the auxprop plugin approach makes a new LDAP connection for each cyrus imapd process? This is the way I read documentation, but I just started looking at the code and I confess it will take a while to wade through it for someone like me. This would be ideal in our environment where we have multiple LDAP servers setup in a load balancing/fail over configuration.
