#33500 [Com]: imap_open() fails when the server advertises GSSAPI

ID: 33500 Comment by: 14908832 at sun dot ac dot za Reported By: ed2019 at columbia dot edu Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.9 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I had a similar problem, which I thought was caused by this bug/lack of feature, but was solved by a comment I found at the PHP manual's function description of imap_open. It merely required me to add '/user=' to the end of my list of protocols. I'm not sure whether this directly relates to this problem, but I hope it helps someone. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-02 08:32:37] pajoye@php.net Yes, have the patch but it was too late for 5.3.0. It will be committed in HEAD and after 5.3.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-01 17:38:37] hperrin at SPAMMENOTgmail dot com I'm running Group-Office and I have this same problem. I can get it to login to our Exchange 2007 server by running kinit username@DOMAIN.COM on Apache's user. However, this causes all the Group-Office mail accounts to receive that user's emails, regardless of the credentials given to them. From my understanding, it is not technically incorrect to use c-client the way PHP currently does, but it is inefficient and limits the developers possibilities. So, it's been over a month since this request was updated. Is there any news on the status of this issue? Pajoye, if you can fix this, you will be my personal hero, and I'll name something after you. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-21 09:23:43] pajoye@php.net It is a feature request, if you read our last two comments you will see that we already agreed on that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-20 22:00:16] hmandel at learningbygrace dot org While you guys are debating whether this is a bug or a feature request our coders here are still stuck at the end of developing some web apps because PHP and Exchange will not "exchange"... Damn it Jim, we can't get our emails off the Exchange server.:~) So since I can see you have all this expertise and are fully aware of the bug/feature request, I'd like to hire one of you to make this change and customize our darn PHP code so these guys (PHP and Exchange) can make up and talk again. ANyone up to it. I'll hire you so long as you REALLY can solve the problem and also I will not discriminate between those who believe this is a Feature Request and those who call i a Bug... we are equal opportunity here at Learning By Grace. My contact info is hmandel at learningbygrace dot org. Cell is two67-two49-five one67. Any takers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-27 18:42:40] pajoye@php.net ok, I was looking at mail_auth*. Then it should be possible to do it, I move the status to feature request (leaving it in the imap category but assigned to me, I will setup GSSAPI in my test exchange server box to valid the changes). Thanks for all the referecences, it will make the implementation easier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
