Dear All,

I'm trying to configure a Sendmail/Cyrus IMAP/LDAP solution, on a RH9.0 system, and it is all working fine, authenticating via PAM, except for one thing.

We have a RH7.1 system running quite an old version of cyrus imap&sasl. They way it has been configured you can login to any pop/imap account with the cyrus admin password if you know it. This can be very useful and saves a lot of time.

I have been unable to replicate this functionality on the RH9 system. The system is patched up to date and running:

cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.10-4
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.10-4
cyrus-imapd-2.1.15-2
cyrus-imapd-utils-2.1.15-2
cyrus-imapd-murder-2.1.15-2
cyrus-sasl-2.1.10-4
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.10-4
cyrus-imapd-devel-2.1.15-2

I've been through the archives and can't find anything, I'm being pressured for a solutions so all help greatfully recevied.

That only way to proxy as a user (regardless of Cyrus or RH version) is to use a SASL mechanism which supports proxying. Given your list of RPMs, the only mechs which you have that are capable of this are PLAIN and DIGEST-MD5. Make sure that whatever client you are using is choosing one of these two mechanisms.
