Quoting David Goldfield <[email protected]>:
Hi Mike, Found your name on the file, so I am assuming you wrote it. We are trying to gain administrator access to our horde/imp installation. We need to be able add email user accounts, and remove the ones not being used. We have access to one account on the imp server and I have added it to 'admins' in the horde server and the imp server.
No idea what you mean by "the horde server and the imp server". These should be located on the same server. I assume you are referring to $conf['auth']['admins'] located in horde/config/conf.php? If so, this is the correct (and only) place to do this. It sounds like you may getting confused between IMP (The web based mail user agent) and IMAP (the protocol used by email servers such as Dovecot or Cyrus to communicate with mail user agents). IMP connects to the IMAP server to interact with the user's mail.
When that user logs on to http://DocumentRoot/mail/imp/login.php, shouldn't he/she get administrative functions?
Yes, just like I and others have answered on the mailing list multiple times already - this does NOT mean that you will necessarily be able to mange email accounts through Horde/IMP. This depends entirely on how Horde authenticates to the email server.
Also, how is the administrator password reset or any password?
Again, there is NO special administrator password. Being able to change user passwords via Horde depends on a number of different factors - the biggest one being what authentication backend Horde uses and if it is the same authentication mechanism used by the email server.
The most common scenario is that Horde authenticates using IMP - which authenticates directly against the email server. If this is the case, all account management is done outside of Horde using whatever mechanism the email server was setup to use. E.g., system accounts or virtual user mailboxes etc... In order for Horde to be able to manage email accounts both Horde AND the email server need to use SQL for user management.
It sounds like you might be in a bit over your head with this. Horde LLC offers paid support if you are interested. See http://www.horde.org/services
