Hello,
i know that Horde has Kerberos Auth support. However
does this also apply for Single Sign On ?
What i want to achieve is, that users of IMP can
access their webmail without entering a
username/password.
IE and Firefox have Kerberos Auth - so lets say my
users are in a Windows Domain - they authenticate only
once when logging into Windows.
Now when they open their IE and goto the IMP webmail
they should not need to login again.
As far as i know Kerberos Auth only issues tickets and
then the Windows Server for example authenticates this
ticket - however how can/should IMP know the username
of the user to access the courier backend where the
messages for the web user are stored ?
One way would be to use mod_auth_kerb for apache,
however the problem remains how IMP/Any application
can figure out at least the Username - and sometimes
the password (probably impossible)
