[CalendarServer-users] PAM/Dovecot authentication

[Dajka Tamás]

Hi Fred,

actually I'm trying to install calendarserver beside a working
dovecot+postfix+mysql, and I'm not wanting to switch to LDAP for all of
that, but maybe would be easier.

Cheers,

	Tom

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.
