Open-Xchange imap authentication module
Introduction
The Open-Xchange Server offers the ability to replace the standard database login mechanism with a custom Java login plugin. That means that this plugin is able to check the username and password entered on the login screen against any storage (in this case IMAP). In general the Open-Xchange Server hands over every information that the user has entered during the login procedure (Username@domain and Password) to this plugin, so that the plugin can use these information to verify if the user should get a valid session or if he should get a login error. To create a valid session, the plugin has to return a user id and a context id.
Imap Authentication Matrix
The IMAP authentication module offers some main properties which influence the string which is used for authentication against an IMAP server:
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource
USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO
USE_MULTIPLE
The following will show how they influence the results. In this example we have a user who types max.muster@firma.de to the login form, his imaplogin at the database is "maxdb", his email address at the database is mm@1337.to
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=login
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | maxdb | maxdb |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=mail
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | mm@1337.to | mm@1337.to |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
com.openexchange.mail.loginSource=name
| Property/Property | USE_FULL_LOGIN_INFO | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| true | false | ||
| USE_MULTIPLE | true | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster |
| false | max.muster@firma.de | max.muster | |
