Authentication IMAP Plugin description
Open-Xchange imap authentication module
Introduction
The Open-Xchange imap authentication module is used to perform the Open-Xchange authentication against a IMAP server. During log in, a imap connection is opened with the users credentials given through the Open-Xchange login mask. If that IMAP connect succeeds, the users is authenticated and finally logged in to Open-Xchange.
The module does replace the database authentication module installed by default.
Imap Authentication Matrix
The IMAP authentication module offers some main properties which influence the string which is used for authentication against an IMAP server:
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource
USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO
USE_MULTIPLE
The following will show how they influence the results. In this example we have a user who types max.muster@firma.de to the login form, his imaplogin at the database is "maxdb", his email address at the database is mm@1337.to
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=login
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | maxdb | maxdb |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=mail
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | mm@1337.to | mm@1337.to |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=name
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
