note 39227 added to function.imap-open

imap_open() violates RFC2595 (see 6. PLAIN SASL mechanism), which demands "The PLAIN SASL mechanism MUST NOT be advertised or used unless a strong encryption layer". This breaks non-TLS logins using imap_open() with any well-behaving IMAPd. Nevertheless, you can find a quick hack for Cyrus-IMAPd at http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/suse-people/choeger/ in ./SLOX/cyrus-imapd-2.1.16-SLES8/source/allow_auth_plain_proxying.patch (sorry for this braindead linking, but the entire URL wpouldn't come through the line-break check here) to make it work seamlessly with PHP. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39227 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39227&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39227&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
