It's hard to say wether you've got any answers on the other lists, but I would definitely say that yes, it is possible if you can get a checkpassword stub to do the authentication for you. Unfortunately, I have no experience with W2k ADS. But if you can send a username and password to it somehow, and have it somehow answer "yes" or "no", then you can get Binc to use it. Bundled with the tarball is a checkpassword.pl script (under conf/). It shows the basic API, and gives you a function where you can implement your auth details. If the W2k ADS has an LDAP interface then you can surely use qmail-ldap's checkpassword to access it. That'll plug straight into Binc. >PS: I did not know where to post this mail so I am posting it in all the >three mailing lists (qmail,bincimap and qmail-ldap) appoligize for the >same. In general, cross-posting is considered evil because you get multiple threads discussing the same problem in parallell, without anyone knowing what's been discovered in other threads. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
