Yes, I will definitely contribute to this.  A whole section on how to 
use delegation will be very helpful to other users.

Try more secure algorithms, you should give a go to SHA-512.

We should update default configuration accordingly as MD5 hashing is not
acceptable.

This took a whole lot of digging to figure out.  I really think the
default usersrepository.xml should have at least commented-out lines
defining where/how to set the administrator id.

I would be glad to have you contribute this!


I'll add it to my list if this is indeed the correct implementation.

Re: Setting "administratorid"?

2019-11-04 Thread Jerry Malcolm

Hi Benoit,

I wasn't actually questioning enableVirtualHosting.  I was simply trying 
to figure out where to put the admin id.  I noticed that the adminId was 
pulled from the configuration in the next line after the 
enableVirtualHosting flag was pulled.  So I was just deducing that 
perhaps they should be side by side in the same config file.  I tried 
that, and it worked.


My only recommendation was that we add a 'dummy' commented-only 
 line to the default config file, so others can easily 
find where to set it.

Please have a look at http://james.apache.org/server/config-users.html

ad...@plateform.com in

Will enable ad...@plateform.com to login as f...@plateform.com using imap.

"enableVirtualHosting" is another config parameter that's set in this 
same method.  So I decided to search around and see where that is set.  
I found it, and just taking a wild guess, is this correct?
