Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Authenticate members in LAMS using an IMAP server

thank you for responding.

Do you know if there is a way I can achieve IMAP authentication support by adding code in the corresponding files of LAMS? I know what code to add but I dont know which files in LAMS I should configure.

Again thank you.

if you want to add your own authentication mechanism, you need to write a class similar to
org.lamsfoundation.lams.security.LDAPAuthenticator
found in lams_central.
Once you have this, you need to alter
org.lamsfoundation.lams.security.UniversalLoginModule
to use this authenticator. Either make it configurable or just hardcode it.
I am not sure if there are any caveats, but at first glance this should do the trick.
