no additionnal fields and settings are required for this connector. Mailcleaner will store credentials in its own database. In order to create accounts, use the “Manage by user” option from the administrative menu. Enter the username desired, choose the corresponding domain and click on the arrow button. You will then be presented with the user settings panel where you can set a password and add addresses to the account.

this connector will authenticate users against an IMAP server.

• server: the IMAP server IP address or hostname, follwed by the port on the server. This is usually port 143.
• Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.

this connector will authenticate users against a POP3 server.

• server: the POP3 server IP address or hostname, follwed by the port on the server. This is usually port 110.
• Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.

this connector will authenticate users against any LDAP compliant service. This may be also used with an Active Directory or Microsoft Exchange server.

• server: the LDAP/Active Directory server to ask for authentication, followed by the port on the server. This is usually 389.
• Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.
• Protocol version: which LDAP version to use. Use version 3 if your server supports it. Microsoft Exchange typically needs version 3, but some older server may not be compatible. Use version 2 if in doubt.
• Base DN: enter the base DN of your server. In case of an Active Directory/Exchange or Lotus server, it usually takes this form: dc=yourdomain,dc=com if your domain is yourdomain.com.
• User Attribute: enter the LDAP attribute to be used as username. In case of an Active Directory/Exchange, this is usually “SamAccountName”. Other typicall possibities are “uid” or “cn”.
• Bind user: if your LDAP server does not allow anonymous bind (such as default Exchange Server 2003), you must provide a valid username and password allowed to bind to your server.
• Bind password: enter the password of the bind user previously entered. This is of course not neede if your server allow anonymous binding.

this connector will authenticate users against a Radius server.

• server: the Radius server to ask for authentication, followed by the port on the server. This is usually 1645 or 1812.
• Secret: the secret string set in the Radius configuration for the Mailcleaner server.
• Authentication type: the authentication sheme to use. Check with your Radius server to find out which one to use. This can be either PAP, CHAP_MD5, MSCHAPv1 and MSCHAPv2.

These settings give you more control on the way the login name is send to the authentication server once they have been entered by the user. Think of these as “login rewriters”. This may be usefull when user must give their domain name to Mailcleaner (for multi-domain installation for exemple), but must be authentified only with their short login name to the authentication server.

only the local part of the username is passed to the authentication server. For exemple, if the user type its mail address as its mailcleaner username, then only the part before the @ sign will be sent. E.g. for myuser@mydomain.com, then myuser will be sent to the authentication server configured for the domain mydomain.com.

this one will “build” the login name based on the local part and the domain. joining them with an ”@” sign. This may be usefull if you want your user to log in only with their shortname, but the full address is needed for authentication.

this is the same as username@domain, but instead of a ”@” sign, a ”%” sign is used. Some IMAP server may need this kind of schema for correct authentication.

these settings let you choose the way MailCleaner can add email addresses or aliases to the user account. There are basically two type of them. Those which can retrieve the information from a database or directory, and those which can only “build” an address from the username. Remember that users can still add or remove these address from within their interface.

this one will build the address from the username. Appending the domain as if the username was the local part of the address.

this one will retrieve different addresses and aliases belonging to the user from the LDAP/Active Directory configured in the connector section.

this one will retrieve the address from a text file present on the MailCleaner server. The file should be present in /var/mailcleaner/spool/mailcleaner/addresses/domainname and containg one username and address pair per line, separated by a coma.

this one will act just as the “add domain”, but will replace the domain with an arbitrary string. This fectcher is not yet fully functionnal.

this one will fetch the addresses from the database configured in the connector.

this one will retrieve addresses and aliases informations from the internal MailCleaner database.
