IMAP authentication
Configuration
To authenticate your users against an existing IMAP (e-mail) server, edit user.txt and add a line like this:
::imap=imapserv.mylib.org
Replace "imapserv.mylib.org" with the appropriate host name for the IMAP server. This change takes effect immediately, without the need to restart EZproxy. When EZproxy receives authentication requests, it will attempt to connect to the IMAP server, and if the IMAP server indicates login success, then the remote user will be authenticated and allowed to proceed.
Secure IMAP
If your user uses Secure IMAP (imaps), indicate this by adding "ssl," before imap, such as:
::ssl,imap=imapserv.mylib.org
In EZproxy prior to 4.0, you must also have performed SSL configuration before you can use Secure IMAP. In EZproxy 4.0 and later, this prerequisite was removed.
