Hello Steve, your initial message contained:
> I've been trying to configure the system to also allow authentication using > the user's email address (in addition to their unadorned cyrus mailbox name), > but I've not been successful. Email address is singular, so each user has one email address and you want to allow login with that email address. But your later emails say users have two email addresses: "[email protected]" and "[email protected]", and depending on the configuration (the defaultdomain setting) the one or the other works. Yes, to my knowledge this is all you can get with the current configuration options. If the defaultdomain is sample.domain.com, unless you explicitly create the mailbox [email protected] (or have autocreate enabled), then the answer will be “Mailbox does not exist” when [email protected] logs in. Thes same statement is still valid, if you swap the domains. Then you wrote: > It looks to me like some additional imapd.conf option like "striploginrealm" > would need to be implemented, but I can't see an opportune place in the code > where the logic for such an option could be inserted. > However, virtdomains only works if defaultdomain is specified, and > defaultdomain only allows one value. This seems incorrect. I would expect > defaultdomain to only be used when a local-part (e.g. "person") login is > specified, then the concatenation of "person@<defaultdomain>" would be used > as the login name (and compared against loginrealms as it is when a user > specifies a full email address). As I mentioned earlier, on your file system the mailboxes exist without domain and Cyrus does remove the defaultdomain from the authentication ID in order to map to your system (users exist in no domain). It is thus not possible to append the default domain to a login ID without domain and get useful results. > I would rather not modify the code unless the solution I come up with would > be accepted into the mainline code base. It is not clear which of the above two citations you mean as proposed solution. If you do not modify the code, you will not get your system to work in the way you want it.

Prior to your reply, I've been running with the following settings: virtdomains: userid defaultdomain: imap.sample.domain.com loginrealms: imap.sample.domain.com This allows logging as either "person" or "[email protected]" Changing the configuration as you suggested: virtdomains: userid defaultdomain: sample.domain.com loginrealms: imap.sample.domain.com Allows logging as either "person", "[email protected]", or "[email protected]", but in the final case I get a "Mailbox not found" error. And you are correct, simply removing the loginrealms statement: virtdomains: userid defaultdomain: imap.sample.domain.com still allows logging as either "person" or "[email protected]". I will simply have to do without the ability to login as "[email protected]".
