authmgr¶
Name¶
authmgr — Demultiplexer for authentication requests
Description¶
authmgr is a service plugin that, for mail account authentication, dynamically selects the authentication backend per user account. The libgxs_mysql_adaptor.so and/or libgxs_ldap_adaptor.so plugins need to be loaded in advance (this is the case by default).
Configuration directives¶
The usual config file location is /etc/gromox/authmgr.cfg.
- auth_backend_selection
- This controls how authmgr will verify passwords supplied with login operations. See the "Authentication modes" section below for details.Available: deny_all, allow_all, externidDefault: externid
Authentication modes¶
deny_all rejects every attempt at authentication. This is at best useful for testing.
allow_all permits every attempt at authentication (provided the user exists). This may be handy when doing the initial mass-import of mailboxes via external IMAP-to-IMAP synchronization utilities such as imapsync without needing to know user passwords.
externid will cause authmgr to selectively pick LDAP/MySQL, depending on whether the user was imported from LDAP or not.
