Subject: Re: [courier-users] Courier IMAP and checkpassword
How does one make Courier IMAP use checkpassword for authentication when
the
checkpassword software was installed after Courier IMAP? Is a recompile
necessary or can I just add text to the AUTHMODULES line in the config
file?
That's because Courier-IMAP does not use checkpassword, and never did.
I don't want to risk bad communication, so let me clarify my observations
and intentions.
I am aware that the default installation of Courier IMAP does not include
support for checkpassword. However, the installation guide for relay-ctrl
(visible at http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/) hints that Courier IMAP can be
made to use checkpassword. I was also encouraged by seeing a source code
file labeled "checkpassword.c" in Courier IMAP's authlib directory.
I would like to use checkpassword (and relay-ctrl) with Courier IMAP so that
I can implement an "SMTP-after-IMAP" authentication scheme. The service I
am putting together will be offering IMAP-based email service to arbitrary
users all over the internet, and I feel that an authentication scheme that
allows SMTP relaying after the user has been verified by the IMAP server is
a good way to go.
So, please let me know what I can do to make Courier IMAP use checkpassword.
Thanks!
