Marc,

Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused now. You say SquirrelMail is
already auth'ing against my IMAP server with out the need for mod_auth_imap.
My IMAP server (dovecot) is using ldap/pam-rsa to auth with a username and
passcode from the rsa token and it works fine. When I try to login to
SquirrelMail it kind of works. I get the frame split on the left but still
get an unknown user error. If I disable pam rsa and go back to pam kerbros
then SquirrelMail works fine. Is this a limit of SquirrelMails Basic auth?

Also is it possible to do pass through auth in SquirrelMail so I can just
use the apache rsa module and not have to worry about getting
SquirrelMail/Dovecot working with my pam-rsa backend?

Thanks for the help!
