Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Authentication using mail (IMAP)

[Travis Tabbal]

I've tried this as well, and it doesn't work. I get the following error when
trying to login as a user that exists in the IMAP server but NOT in
PHPGroupware...

----

Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT account_type FROM phpgw_accounts WHERE
account_id=
PostgreSQL Error: 1 (ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "" )

File: /var/www/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.accounts_sql.inc.php
Line: 233

Session halted.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_navbar_end() in
/var/www/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/footer.inc.php on line 62

----

I did set it to auto-create account records for authenticated users and set
the authentication to "Mail". Anything else I'm missing? Also, .9.14RC1 has
the settings in "/setup" not in the admin options inside PHPGroupware
(logged in as an admin).

This would be very nice so that my users don't have to maintain two seperate
accounts/passwords.
