Hi Mark-
Thanks for your response. To clarify, I'm not using IMP , I'm trying
to write my own PHP scripts to talk to a cyrus server. The php imap
extension (see docs here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php )
uses your c-client. So, this could be a bug in the php imap code, or
rather, the lack of an option for disabling GSSAPI. I have filed a bug
report with PHP here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33500&thanks=6
One question I have is, why does the process default to using GSSAPI
when a username and pw is provided? And / or, if it wants to try using
GSSAPI, but that doesn't work, why doesn't it continue and try the plain
method?
thanks,
Erik
