Hi,
I did a similar thing (say, do you btw need an imap users management
tool? ;-) ) by using Cyrus Imapd with SASL2 and LDAP backend for users
authentication; LDAP driven by an SQL backend itself and ran Turbine
on the same SQL tables as the LDAP server.
Today, I'd probably recommend using the LDAP Security Service and
LDAP+SASL2 for your IMAP server.
If you really want to run Security on the same passwords as your imap
server, you need some way to access the IMAP server user database. If
you have only IMAP access, you might want to try to use the javax.mail
package which provides some "logging into imap" functionality and then
use its return codes to build a custom security service. This doesn't
sound too easy, though and you would have trouble getting the groups,
roles and permissions there.
Regards
Henning
