We use a centralized account management system to create user accounts on our systems. We would like to be able to use it to create Cyrus mailboxes. Is there any way to create a user INBOX from a noninteractive process running as "root" or "cyrus" (without putting an admin password in a file)? We are running Cyrus v2.3.1.
Well....In theory, yes, using SASL GSSAPI and Kerberos 5. But that's a lot of work. There are perl modules you can run from your secure admin server to connect and runt eh admin commands (cyradmin is just a shell-like wrapper around these...or the TCL ones, I can't remember)
The autocreatequota option is a possibility, but there would be fewer support calls if we could create the inboxes for them. L ---- 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
