Re: Imap and Sieve Perl API status..

[Alain Turbide]

Thanks Larry,
It's not a problem with me either since I use SSL for my connections but
since the API was there it would have been nice to have it support the other
types of authentications and make it a more rounded tool especially since
the perl sieve API already supports them.  If I was more familiiar with perl
.xs code and C. I'd attempt on adding to it.  I was just wondering what the
status was that's all.  I appreciate the great work you guys are all doing
on Cyrus.

We'd like to make this work, but, as you might guess, we use Kerberos
and this has yet to impact my life personally, so it's not something
that I feel a great need to fix.

But you're right, this is a bug, and if it's not in bugzilla it should
be.

   Are there any plans to add the capability of sending the passwords via a
   procedure call for DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, authentication?
   After looking at the imclient API, I dont' see how it can easily be done
   since that API relies more on prompts to the user to collect the secrets.
   The Isieve API is'nt too bad except it would be nice to be able to force the
   mechanism to use for authentication instead of letting the system decide.
   (not that this is bad.. just like more control for certain applications).
   I suppose if there was a way to capture the prompts from the
   sasl_authentication layer and pass the secrets there, it might be fine but I
   don't know of any way to do that within perl..
   For now I'll stick to using LOGIN for authentication with the Cyrus::Imap
   API.
