[ZendTo] Re: IMAP authentication

[Sébastien Blaisot]

Hi,

I've had two issues with IMAP authentication that prevented me to use IMAP authentication at a first try:

- First, there is a typo in the bundled configuration file, there is an S missing at the end of "authIMAPAdmins"

- Second, with recent versions of PHP, imap_connect try to use TLS whereever possible, and that causes the need for certificate validation, but if you configure it to connect to localhost and the certificate CN is the external FQDN of your server, or if you use a self-signed certificate, the check fails. You can workaround either using the external FQDN of your IMAP server or adding the//novalidate-cert flag/  like this in your preferences.php configuration:
   'authIMAPServer' => 'localhost/novalidate-cert',

regards,

S. Blaisot
