Hi list
Does anybody know if there are any work going on to implement the stuff
that the third party cyrusmaster requires to work and extend the LDAP
support in cyrus imapd? If not... Is there any work at all going on to
add good LDAP or MySQL support? I really love cyrus imapd but think it
lacks some stuff when it comes to LDAP or MySQL support.
Can you be more specific?
Your'e right...
I am not just talking about LDAP auth using any PAM stuff.
Cyrus imapd in not directly LDAP friendly.
From the authentication/authorizaion stand point it is very friendly.
Perhaps it is not easily configured.
Take a look at ptloader/ldap and cyrus sasl documentation (there are
several different ways to configure ldap based authentication).
Let's say you want to put quota
info in LDAP.
And in huge installations you maybe want to put as much info as
possible into a central repository using LDAP protocol. And not just quota,
It is fairly trivial to develop an ldap based cyrus db backend. But in a
'huge' installation I do not believe you can achieve desired performance
and reliability. ldap just does not do well when you have to write to it
often.
maybe alternate e-mail adresses and more.
You can do this now.
My question is just because I am
interested to know if there is any work going on to make is more LDAP
friendly. And the main reason for asking is because the cyrusmaster project
has extended cyrus to contain some of this stuff.
