I suggest you build cyrus-imapd 2.2.4 because of numerous ptloader ldap fixes/enhacements. Read the imapd.conf man page for the ldap related options. Your other option is to use a different authentication mechanism such as unix. See cyrus-imapd/doc/overview.html for more. You will need to recompile cyrus-imapd when you change authentication mechanisms. If you want more flexibility in choosing pts module and authentication mechanism at runtime, you can try my patch at https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2393 -- Igor --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
