[CalendarServer-users] PAM/Dovecot authentication

[Fredrik Unger]

Hi Tom,
also not sure what you are after, are you interested in using LDAP
or try to fit the other authentications methods with Calendarserver ?

I use OpenLDAP for authenticating Calendarserver (abeit the very old 
debian stable release, but it should work in the newer version as well)
I also use the same LDAP to authenticate dovecot, exim, inspircd and 
apache with svn, git. (all have LDAP support)
I had a working setup for moinmoin wiki and bugzilla but disabled them 
as I did not use them. Moinmoin was not optimal, as it just "copied" the 
data to moinmoin, instead of using the full LDAP.

For databases and PAM I did not try, but I think at least PAM has support.

For other authentication with caldav I guess you have to develop 
something on your own if there is no support.
