I use an implementation of Horde + Imp to provide webmail services. I
do not use Kerberos myself although I believe it is an option with Horde
+ Imp. Horde's homepage is http://www.horde.org (I feel as though this
is getting a bit off topic!)
If you go for Horde to get started you will need to use the CVS HEAD
releases of Horde, framework and Imp (CVS Horde then cd into that dir
and CVS framework and Imp) You can always add other packages when you
have the basics up and running. There are very good docs in the docs
folders. For krb5 there is extra info in horde/framework/Auth/Auth/krb5.php

My curus-imapd authenticates using gssapi kerberos5.
Is there a webmail system that authenticates users to the cyrus-imapd
using kerberos5?
Maybe through pubcookie?
I cannot find any directions..
At CMU, we are using a slightly modiffied version of SquirrelMail
which uses pubcookie with kerberos ticket passing for authentication.
On the webmail server, instead of letting PHP make the connection to
Cyrus, we instead fork a copy of imtest (which authenticates using the
passed tickets). Then SquirrelMail sends its IMAP commands over
the connection opened by imtest.
Has anyone considered a full Kerberos approach? Oops! Can it be done?
I mean, a web browser authenticating via SPNEGO/GSSAPI and that ticket being
used for IMAP. I have a feeling that it cannot be done since the client tickets
are not compatible. Different services. One is HTTP/server.domain.com@REALM and
the other is IMAP/server.domain.com@REALM. That is not transferable, right?
Nix.
