Now I have a customer, who needs the scenario that the usernames for
Cyrus differ from the mailbox and mailaddress respectivly. For example
user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx should be able to login with the username
someOtherUsername. This need arises from an integration with other
software-packages. Is there any possibility to make this work?
Yes, this is no different from any other alias or virtual setup that
offers multiple addresses to individual users. You would handle this in
the MTA. For example, I use virtual_alias_maps with Postfix, and map all
addresses to the corresponding cyrus IMAP user:
abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx admin
admin@xxxxxxxxxxx admin
postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx admin
bob@xxxxxxxxxxx bob
robert.smith@xxxxxxxxxxx bob
You can also use the aliases file and other approaches.
He wants to know how the user can login with login name 'foo' to mailbox
called 'bar', that has login 'bar' associated with it.
You can solve this with perdition. You let perdition translate username
'foo' into username 'bar'.
I don't know if you can achieve this with saslauthd.
