local

no additionnal fields and settings are required for this connector. Mailcleaner will store credentials in its own database. In order to create accounts, use the “Manage by user” option from the administrative menu. Enter the username desired, choose the corresponding domain and click on the arrow button. You will then be presented with the user settings panel where you can set a password and add addresses to the account.

imap

this connector will authenticate users against an IMAP server.

  • server: the IMAP server IP address or hostname, follwed by the port on the server. This is usually port 143.
  • Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.

pop3

this connector will authenticate users against a POP3 server.

  • server: the POP3 server IP address or hostname, follwed by the port on the server. This is usually port 110.
  • Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.

ldap/Active Directory

this connector will authenticate users against any LDAP compliant service. This may be also used with an Active Directory or Microsoft Exchange server.

  • server: the LDAP/Active Directory server to ask for authentication, followed by the port on the server. This is usually 389.
  • Use SSL: use SSL encryption during authentication. Your server must support this.
  • Protocol version: which LDAP version to use. Use version 3 if your server supports it. Microsoft Exchange typically needs version 3, but some older server may not be compatible. Use version 2 if in doubt.
  • Base DN: enter the base DN of your server. In case of an Active Directory/Exchange or Lotus server, it usually takes this form: dc=yourdomain,dc=com if your domain is yourdomain.com.
  • User Attribute: enter the LDAP attribute to be used as username. In case of an Active Directory/Exchange, this is usually “SamAccountName”. Other typicall possibities are “uid” or “cn”.
  • Bind user: if your LDAP server does not allow anonymous bind (such as default Exchange Server 2003), you must provide a valid username and password allowed to bind to your server.
  • Bind password: enter the password of the bind user previously entered. This is of course not neede if your server allow anonymous binding.

radius

this connector will authenticate users against a Radius server.

  • server: the Radius server to ask for authentication, followed by the port on the server. This is usually 1645 or 1812.
  • Secret: the secret string set in the Radius configuration for the Mailcleaner server.
  • Authentication type: the authentication sheme to use. Check with your Radius server to find out which one to use. This can be either PAP, CHAP_MD5, MSCHAPv1 and MSCHAPv2.
