Hello,
I'm looking for a way to access to a POP/IMAP account as another user
different than me, but using my password. That is, I'm
"some...@domain.com" and I want to access to "another...@domain.com"
mailbox using the password of "some...@domain.com", not the
"another...@domain.com" (something similar to master passwords, but
without sharing any password). Obviously, in my LDAP backend I can
configure something to authorize "someone" to access to "anotherone"'s
mailbox.
At this momment, I'm trying to use
some...@domain.com@another...@domain.com as username, with a passdb that
uses %{username}@%{domain_first} to authenticate the user, but I'm
having problem to configure a userdb map to get the mailbox, because the
%{domain_first} variable returns just "domain.com". To fix this, I could
use "someone@another...@domain.com", but this has problems with virtual
domains an different users with same username (some...@domain.com and
some...@otherdomain.com).
Looking at documentation, at [1], in the "auth_user" variable says:
"... If username changes during authentication, this value contains the
original username..." what leads me to think that there is some way to
change the user during the authentication process, but I don't know how
or maybe I'm assuming wrong.
Any help with this? Thank you
