Hi,

the username is available. The dbmail-imap server gets the request
> for user joe and should deliver the mails, without password.
Why not propagate the users password to the imap server, and use it
for authenticating? It should not be that hard
to keep Shibboleth and dbmail's authentication table in sync.


thats not how shibboleth is working .... as far as i can say the framework
only tells the webapp the user is authenticated. it is also possible to
exchange some attributes. something like the user is authorized to read all
books from categories A-C but not from D-F. A password exchange is  not
possible. So this is no option.
For sure it is possible (with a propper set up identity management) to keep
the passwords in sync.

regards Martin
