Re: cyrus super user -- able to login in as any user with a superuser password
Hi, Quoting Simon Matter simon.mat...@invoca.ch: hi all, i have a cyrus instance with an ldap backend -- works beautifully ... i was wondering if there is a way to be able to login as any user with a `superuser` password without messing with the users `real` password. i am assuming this would have to involve some saslauthd magic ... Not really saslauthd magic, just check the proxyservers option in imapd.conf. Regards, Simon To uses SASL proxy Authentication you need to use a mech that supports porxy auth. PLAIN does support it, LOGIN does not. Regards.

For example, a client of ours uses this script as a daily cronjob to make sure the proper annotations are set on all desired mailboxes: #!/bin/sh # # set_cyrus_annotations.sh - Set the standard annotations for the Spam, #Trash and systems mailbvoxes so they expire #properly. # USER=cyradmin PASS=password HOST=localhost cyradm -u $USER -w $PASS $HOST _EOF_ mboxcfg systems expire 60 mboxcfg user.%.Spam expire 7 mboxcfg user.%.Trash expire 2 _EOF_ The normal expiration mechanisms (cyr_expire in cyrus.conf) of Cyrus will then clean up those mailboxes on the desired schedule. The biggest advantage is that this all happens local to the server, without tying up network resources with protocol discussions, local processing, etc. Cheers, -nic -- Nic Bernstein n...@onlight.com Onlight, Inc. www.onlight.com 219 N.
