The Courier Authentication Library is a generic authentication API used
|
|
for two purposes:
|
|
|
|
1. Read the name of a mail account. Determine the local account's home
|
|
directory, and system userid and groupid.
|
|
2. Read an account name, and a password. If valid, determine the
|
|
account's home directory, system userid, and groupid.
|
|
|
|
The base package only installs the authpam authentication module to
|
|
obtain account information and passwords using PAM
|
|
|
|
Other plugin authentication modules are provided:
|
|
|
|
net/courier-authlib-ldap OpenLDAP
|
|
databases/courier-authlib-mysql MySQL
|
|
databases/courier-authlib-pgsql PostgreSQL
|
|
databases/courier-authlib-userdb libc db based
|
|
databases/courier-authlib-usergdbm gdbm dependant
|
|
mail/courier-authlib-vchkpw vpopmail/vchkpw
|
|
|
|
Install them as occasion demands.
