I've considered this and may end up going this route, but it's not a long-term solution since the product direction may easily change and the solution rebuilt.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly appreciate the advice either in recent postings or throughout the entire archive. You are a large contibutor to this forum and I think everyone here values your contributions. I was more hoping to convey that this should be a specific development target for Ipswitch. Not just an off-shoot possibility by modifying DLL's intended for ODBC calls. Working at a systems integration company has taught me that writing the internals of the application to support ODBC will yield tweaks geared specifically towards ODBC usage and performance. Other authentication services function differently and have different operating contraints (different timeouts, possibly different threading methods for performance, different memory management based on the API calls that are being made, etc.). The request is that Ipswitch consider adding an authentication layer within Imail that other 3rd party developers could write to. It seems they already have quite a bit on their plate based on outstanding bugs, why not let another company fill in the gaps? This way the product as a platform can be a more flexible tool (one of the things I love about Domino). -ives ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford Whiteman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ives Stoddard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 12:28 AM Subject: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] 7.1 > > Ipswitch could really jump ahead in the next version release by > > adding another layer for authenication alone (exposing API's and SDK > > to allow for integration from 3rd parties for LDAP authentication, > > kerberos, MS AD, Radius, single-signon, etc.). > > Have you looked at the ODBCUSER.DLL source? > > -Sandy > > > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > to be removed from this list. > > An Archive of this list is available at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > > Please visit the Knowledge Base for answers to frequently asked > questions: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
