OK - makes sense. What type of auth can it do against the IMAP server? from what i can tell rcube does plain auth against imap/imaps. the interesting thing here is that i cannot, for the life of me authenticate with rcube against the imap server (it's all in the same box). I'm trying to get this to work on Mac OS X.4 Server. no errors are logged in logs/errors or sendmail. so any detailed info or experience on how this works would be helpful to track down the bugger that's crashing this in the code.
cheers, rodolfo

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.

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?
