[imp] Authentication problems

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Jim Buitt <jbuitt at siu.edu>:

> I am having problems with IMP authenticating to our local IMAP server
> (which uses Kerberos authentication).  Kerberos is set up so if a user
> attempts a bad password 10 times, it will lock the account.  However, I am
> noticing that when a user enters a bad password when logging in (either
> intentional or accidental) from the IMP login page, it attempts to try
> using the bad password to authenticate against the IMAP server multiple
> times.  The user will eventually get back the login page with the login
> error message after several seconds.  It will try sometimes 2, 3, or 4
> times (seems to be random).  Is there something the IMP/Horde/PHP
> configuration that controls this "feature" so it will only try the bad
> password once?

No, this is internal to the c-client library.
