SquirrelMail has to do that in plain php. Which kerberos implementation is needed? kerberos v4 or kerberos v5? Is authentication process documented in some standards? Are kerberos standards not broken in AD with proprietary extensions? Which information is available to php scripts when user is authenticated with mod_auth_krb? Can scripts use this information for authentication with imap server? I don't know if squirrelmail can implement kerberos your way, but maybe these questions will give you some directions. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
