Hi, <br>
<br>
I've inherited a cyrus mail server and I'm currently learning how
it's setup and would like some advice changing from a NIS to LDAP
authentication.<br>
<br>
At the moment, the imap server uses NIS to authenticate ssh
connections and I believe to also authenticate users to their
mailboxes <br>
<br>
imapd.conf<br>
sasl_pwcheck_method: <b>saslauthd</b><br>
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN<br>
<br>
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd <br>
MECH=<b>pam</b><br>
<br>
From the above output I believe that cyrus will use the pam service
to lookup authentication information to authenticate a users cyrus
mailbox.<br>
<br>
I want the imap server to use LDAP (via sssd) for ssh authentication
and authenticating users to their mailboxes.<br>
<br>
If I configure the mail server to use sssd (also stop NIS) and
update /etc/pam.d/system-auth with the required pam_sss.so entries,
does anyone know or have experience if this change will allow users
to authenticate to their mailboxes using LDAP?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
