I want cyrus to save mail to "username~domain.org" instead of "username". > You can use the ldapdb user canonicalization patch for SASL (See CVS) for situations like this. It won't automatically created mailboxes, but it will direct cyrus IMAP to use an alternative name before referencing the mailbox. For example: sasl_ldapdb_uri: ldap://ldap.example.org sasl_ldapdb_mech: GSSAPI sasl_ldapdb_canon_attr: uid #sasl_canon_user_plugin: ladpdb #imap_sasl_canon_user_plugin: ldapdb #pop3_sasl_canon_user_plugin: ldapdb #nntp_sasl_canon_user_plugin: ldapdb #sieve_sasl_canon_user_plugin: ldapdb lmtp_sasl_canon_user_plugin: ldapdb Where 'lmtp' matches the name you use within /etc/cyrus.conf. This would direct cyrus imap, after authenticating, to look up the 'uid' attribute within LDAP, and use it as the effective username (and mailbox name). You would not need to change your authentication setup from saslauthd to ldapdb auxprop, since auxprop plugins and user canonicalization plugings can function independently. See the '/doc/options.html' documentation for cyrus SASL for more options (in CVS). - Dan ---- 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
