Re: Single Sign On to Squirrel mail from another web application

List,

  I have enabled in the plone site for the cookie sharing for   mydomain.com
and  shared a secret   is there  "blah"

Now in the  server machine for apache  I enabled  mod_auth_tkt ( the
plone version supports  mod_auth_tkt compatible systems.)

The plone site and  SM both runs in the same machine  under same
apache were mod_tkt is loaded.

  Vhost entry for   Squirrel mail

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/SquirrelMail
ServerName webmail.mydomain.com
ServerAlias webmail.mydomain.com
TKTAuthSecret  "blah"
<Location /src/login.php>
TKTAuthIgnoreIP on
TKTAuthDebug 2
TKTAuthDomain .mydomain.com
TKTAuthTimeout 2w
TKTAuthCookieExpires 2w
TKTAuthRequireSSL off
TKTAuthCookieSecure off
</Location>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

There is an existing   IMAP account   user:  kkchn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                                                            password:
 mypass

Then I created the same user  kkchn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  in Plone
Site with same   password   "mypass"

Restarted  apache

 I logged in  to the plone site (intranet.mydomain.com)  with     the
user name   "kkchn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  with "mypass"    and  click
the link  for webmail.mydomain.com   but it prompts me for username
and password.

Do I miss any configuration  other than the above in the  Squirrel
Mail  virtualhost  config ? Or anything   additional  work required?

This is my  Virtual host configuration  for Plone site.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin kk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ServerName intranet.mydomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:8081/VirtualHostBase/http/intranet.mydomain.com:80/Intranet/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[L,P]
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/intranet.mydomain.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache/intranet.mydomain.com/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Please shed some light on this regard.

Thanks in advance
KKCHN
