I'm *really* new to this list but I've been wrecking my sleep patterns reading and tweaking my Cyrus installation.
OS: FreeBSD5 I have both SASL 2.1.20 and IMAPd 2.2.10 installed.
Here's what I'd like to do: - Authenticate against Unix system users. - Authenticate users in the same domain but without requiring entries in the passwd file.
Now I believe this has something to do with "sasl_pwcheck_method" in
the conf file; but I can't figure out what the two values mean --
"auxprop" and "saslauthd". I can authenticate with a user created via
"saslpasswd2" if the value is set to "saslauthd" but I still don't
have "saslauthd" running. I don't understand. :(
The main question is what do you mean by "in the same domain"? What is a domain for you? Windows NT Domain, Windows ADS, DNS Domain,...?
SASL support's several mechanisms for authentication and they can bind to several authentication systems:
PLAIN ->[auxprop(SASL DB, SQL), saslauthd(SASL DB, LDAP, Kerberos4, GSSAPI, SIA, PAM,...)]
DIGEST-MD5 -> SASL-DB
CRAM-MD5 -> SASL-DB
Kerberos_IV
GSSAPI
ANONYMOUS
EXTERNAL (this is a TLS/SSL wrapper for another mech)
