I'm trying to use global admins with virtual domains and I am not sure how it works. It works find with admins for specific domains.
Part of the documentation says that every user has a domain when using virtual domains and part says use a user without a domain for a global domain.
Could someone please tell/show me what I am missing here? ...and thank you!
To see what I am experiencing, here's the results of two different ways of using cyradm I have tried:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 1:
>cyradm -u root
cyradm> lm *@seowebsales.com
listmailbox: no connection to server
cyradm>
Doesn't look up the SQL Database for authentication.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 2:
>cyradm -u root domain1.com
Password:
IMAP Password:
Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as root
Does try to authenticate. However, when watching the MySQL query log it chooses a virtual domain at random to try for the "realm" part of the query. If it happens to use the domain that I want to administrate, then it succeeds instead of fails as it did in the case above.
