How hard would it be to fix the mgd_*_person functions so they also create and modify ldap objects when used?

Sasl is great in the way that it supports _many_ authentication types, including one based on mysql. If someone knows C I think it should be fairly trivial to rewrite the sasl 2.1.x mysql-auxprop module to authenticate to midgard. (I suggest also looking at the up-and-comming virtual domains in cyrus-imapd CVS). This would also happen to make it possible to use strong authentication types with midgard (DIGEST-MD5 etc) as long as the passwords stored in the db are plaintext. So, basicly there are two ways of doing this: a) LDAP -> needs changing some mgd_functions. Also doesn't support strong passwords today (long story take a look at marc and the cyrus-sasl maillinglist). b) Make a patch for the mysql-auxprop module (and try to get it accepted) Tarjei > /Rambo > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Med vennlig hilsen Tarjei Huse Linpro AS Waldemars Thranes gate 98 Tlf + 47 22 87 11 80 Fax + 47 22 87 11 81 www.linpro.no --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
