[xmail] Re: password synchronization
Sorry for no enough info, I will elaborate. We have a windows 2000 domain and we use Xmail for our mail server and outlook 2000 for mail clients. When the users are at home or on the road they can use our website to view thier email, but in the office they use outlook 2000. I have a password policy in effect here on the domain that makes users change passwords monthly. I was wondering if this could be synced with xmail so that users will have the same passsword for logging onto the domain and also logging into the xmail webmail. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brandon Wittenburg Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 5:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: password synchronization webmaster wrote: Is there a way for me to sync passwords with xmail like when users of the domain change thier password can it be synced with xmail so that its the same password when they login to check webmail?

1]either you can setup external authentication in XMail 2]and check user passwords in AD every time and you wont need any synchronization.

[xmail] Re: password synchronization
I guess what I am trying to get across is that in an environment where there is a win2k domain and exchange 2000, the user only has to know one password for them and if they change their password via ctrl+alt+del on windows systems or via a password policy, its is synchronzied with mail. Now I know that xmail is not exchange and I am loving xmail but I only wish I could make it act like exchange in this win32 envoronment on a win2k domain where users passwords would sync with xmail. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Aaron Johnson Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: password synchronization On Tue, 2003-06-03 at 13:15, webmaster wrote: 1]either you can setup external authentication in XMail There is an over view of the external authentication system here: http://www.gina.net/solution/external_auth.html The examples provided would need to be modified to account for your environment.

Well, like Aaron said, make a external auth script. you could use a few simple standard tools to check if the password is correct. One is: net use \\computername\ipc$ /user:IAmTheMightyUser AndMyMightyPassword if successful the username and pw will be correct and you just need to return 0 to xmail Greets Loris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
