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. It sounds like in your case you would need to tie into Active Directory or the standard MS login, I believe there are Perl modules to allow for this.
