<span style=" font-family:'Verdana'; font-size: 10pt;">Hello ,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to use global admins with virtual domains and I am not sure how it works. It works find with admins for specific domains.<br>
<br>
Part of the documentation says that every user has a domain when using virtual domains and part says use a user without a domain for a global domain.<br>
<br>
Could someone please tell/show me what I am missing here? ...and thank you!<br>
<br>
To see what I am experiencing, here's the results of two different ways of using cyradm I have tried:<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>Scenario 1:<br>
</b><br>
>cyradm -u root<br>
cyradm> lm *@seowebsales.com<br>
listmailbox: no connection to server<br>
cyradm> <br>
<br>
Doesn't look up the SQL Database for authentication.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>Scenario 2:<br>
</b><br>
>cyradm -u root domain1.com<br>
Password: <br>
IMAP Password: <br>
Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119<br>
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as root<br>
<br>
Does try to authenticate. However, when watching the MySQL query log it chooses a virtual domain at random to try for the "realm" part of the query. If it happens to use the domain that I want to administrate, then it succeeds instead of fails as it did in the case above.<br>
