Well, it all depends how computer accounts are handled at your school. For example, if you use NIS or Kerberos, and all students get account there, you might point saslauthd to authenticate against it. If there is LDAP directory with list of all students, you can use that for authentication (you'd add userPassword attribute to each user, and configure saslauthd to check passwords against LDAP). If you have Active Directory (Windows) domain, and all students get an account there, saslauthd can authenticate against it too. Actually, Windows Active Directory uses Kerberos for authentication, so basically you'd just configure saslauthd to use Kerberos against Active Directory server. However, there's couple of steps needed to be done on Windows side in order for this to work. I've did it at several sites that are mostly Windows based (but use Cyrus on Linux for email), and it works great. In this cases, when you don't create accounts, you might want to add autocreatequota option to imapd.conf. If value of option is nonzero, mailbox for the user will be automatically created when user connects to the Cyrus server for the first time. So if you set it to "-1" (or any other negative value), the mailbox will be created with no quota. If you set it to positive value, mailbox will be created and quota set to specified value. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
