Scripting admin stuff?

[D G Teed]

Hi,

(I'm top posting as the previous posters have set in motion...)

I came across this old posting on the Cyrus mailing list.  It is very close
to what
I want to do, simply extracting a list of mailboxes from within Perl.

For some reason our use of IMAP::Admin on Redhat 6 has stopped
working for the old script I've used before.  Most calls work, but
@mailboxlist = $client->list( "*" )  returns an empty list, and
no errors can be forced to appear.

So I'm trying out Cyrus::IMAP::Admin, and rewriting the connection stuff.

In my case I need to specify the authentication info. I found an old web
page
which said I need to call it like this:

   $client = Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new(  "$server" );
   $auth = {
      -mechanism => 'login',
      -service => 'imap',
      -authz => $uid,
      -user => $uid,
      -minssf => 0,
      -maxssf => 10000,
      -password => $pwd,
   };

   $client->authenticate($auth);

When I use this, I get an error:

Error: Please login first

Finding docs and examples on Cyrus::IMAP::Admin is rather thin
on some details.  Does anyone have a sample script which does
authentication/login?
