ID: 27017 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: jjb at bcc dot com -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: solaris 9 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. List of flags was added. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 02:56:43] jjb at bcc dot com thanks for the docs! i changed "localhost" to match the name in the cert. next, php barks when the cert is self-signed, so i used a couple of the flags. imap_open("{alpha.bcc.com:143/imap4rev1/novalidate-cert}INBOX",... this is working. thanks for the help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 02:50:59] sniper@php.net Correct remote name in your case is: {localhost:143/notls}INBOX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 02:39:21] sniper@php.net This is actually documentation problem. When imap extension is build with SSL support, the connection defaults to using SSL.. All the additional protocol specfications should be described on imap_open() page, here's cut'n' paste from the c-client docs (naming.txt): III. Remote names All names which start with "{" are remote names, and are in the form "{" remote_system_name [":" port] [flags] "}" [mailbox_name] where: remote_system_name Internet domain name or bracketed IP address of server. port optional TCP port number, default is the default port for that service flags optional flags, one of the following: "/service=" service mailbox access service, default is "imap" "/user=" user remote user name for login on the server "/authuser=" user remote authentication user; if specified this is the user name whose password is used (e.g. administrator) "/anonymous" remote access as anonymous user "/debug" record protocol telemetry in application's debug log "/secure" do not transmit a plaintext password over the network "/imap", "/imap2", "/imap2bis", "/imap4", "/imap4rev1" equivalent to /service=imap "/pop3" equivalent to /service=pop3 "/nntp" equivalent to /service=nntp "/norsh" do not use rsh or ssh to establish a preauthenticated IMAP session "/ssl" use the Secure Socket Layer to encrypt the session "/validate-cert" validate certificates from TLS/SSL server (this is the default behavior) "/novalidate-cert" do not validate certificates from TLS/SSL server, needed if server uses self-signed certificates "/tls" force use of start-TLS to encrypt the session, and reject connection to servers that do not support it "/notls" do not do start-TLS to encrypt the session, even with servers that support it "/readonly" request read-only mailbox open (IMAP only; ignored on NNTP, and an error with SMTP and POP3) mailbox_name remote mailbox name, default is INBOX For example: {imap.foo.com}INBOX opens an IMAP connection to system imap.foo.com and selects INBOX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 02:33:26] jjb at bcc dot com alpha# php /tmp/login.php Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {localhost:143}INBOX in /tmp/login.php on line 5 Notice: (null)(): Certificate failure for localhost: Server name does not match certificate: /C=US/ST=California/L=Solana Beach/O=BCC/OU=Internet Mail and Web Services/CN=alpha.bcc.com (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 02:29:29] sniper@php.net Add this as first line in your script: error_reporting(E_ALL); And check what errors you get then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
