Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Enable the IMAP Server to Authenticate Users

This procedure enables the mail server in a NIS+ domain to authenticate users, while protecting the NIS+ password table from being read.

  1. On the NIS+ master, assume the System Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

  2. Open the System_Admin folder in the Application Manager.

  3. Double-click the Add to NIS+ Administrative Group action and enter the IMAP server in its full principal name.

    The principal name has the format hostname.subdomain.domain.suffix.. For example:


    Group Name: admin
    Principal Name: pigeon.aviary.eco.org.
    

    Note -

    Remember to type a period (.) at the end of the the domain name.
