Hi there,
I know, the user authorization and creation is not well documented. This is how it works: The main authority for the RoundCube access is the IMAP server. If 'auto_create_user' is set to TRUE in config/main.inc.php a new record in the user table will be created once the IMAP login succeeded. This user record does not store a password, it's just used to assign identities, contacts and cache records. If you have 'auto_create_user' set to FALSE only IMAP logins which already have a corresponding entry in the user's table (username and hostname) will be allowed.
And here's a notice about the CVS version: don't forget to move config/*.inc.php.dist to config/*inc.php in order to make the system work.
Regards, Thomas

k - so i downloaded the HEAD branch from CVS and installed it on my system. the setup right now looks quite simple (at least the config/ files). the only issue i see right now is that no matter what user i put (that I know exists on the system and can log in) it says that the user/password failed.
now, i guess i was at a loss at this the same way Joshua was, so my question is two-fold: what auth system does rcube use? and from what I can tell, the user table in the mysql db is for user registration only? should it map back to the actual system user information?
