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.
