Hi there: I'm planning to use Cyrus IMAP and OpenLDAP to authenticate users. Long time ago I used to configure Cyrus IMAP + Cyrus SASL using saslauthd with pam module. It was something simple. Then I used to configure Cyrus IMAP + Cyrus SASL using saslauthd with ldap module and /etc/saslauthd.conf without problems. That's fine. Now I would like to use Cyrus IMAP with OpenLDAP too, but I found that there are at least 2 ways: 1. Use Cyrus SASL with auxprop to authenticate users trough LDAP using auxprop_plugin: ldapdb, sasl_ldap_servers among other sasl_* directives. Right? 2. The other way is to use ldap_* directives like ldap_uri, ldap_filter among others. But I believe that I would need to use 'pts' module in auth_mech directive, right? The question is: What are pts, unix, krb and krb5 modules used for? What's the difference between them? Should I use pts module to make Cyrus talk directly to OpenLDAP...? Or should I use Cyrus SASL with auxprop plugin to make the authentication to OpenLDAP? Is there a place where I can get some clear information about these items? Man pages are not too clear :S Thanks people :) ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
