Hello cyrus people.
Following your cyrus recomendations for a 15K users mailstore, i have a new
requeriment, we will like some administrators to login to any mailbox in
order to check the successfull delivery of some emails, without having to
login into each account with the associated login and password, i explain:
i use cyrus virtual domains system,a user log in using this user id and
password:
user@xxxxxxxxxx
userpassword
but i will like to make some trick for a user to login into a mailbox, using
the followin schema:
user:admin@xxxxxxxxxx
adminpassword
the idea is that based on username (user:admin), the system notice that the
user login is 'admin' and that he wants to see 'user' mailbox.
is something like this possible ? i have read something related under
http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/cyrus-sasl/sysadmin.html but i still don't
see the way to do this, because auxprop pluing only returns the password
asociated with an account, but how can i make cyrus to know that 'user:admin'
refers to 'user' mailbox ?
Easy. When you want to look at another user's mail, just modify the
permissions on their mailbox. You can do this with cyradm like so:
sam user.foo adminuser all
We use a perl script that does this recursively for each folder that
belongs to a specify user, and a second script that recursively removes
the permission when we are finished.
After granting these permissions, you'll see the user's mailbox in your
IMAP namespace as "Other Users.foo".
