This file describes how to build the cyrus IMSP server.  See the rest
of the files in the "notes" directory for more information about
setting up the server.

Be sure to check the "Changes-Todo" file for important changes from
previous versions.


CYRUS SASL IS REQUIRED
----------------------

All of the authentication code that was included with the Cyrus IMSP
sources has been removed in favor of calls to the Cyrus SASL
library. SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, an
extensible system for handling authentication and encryption in
connection-based protocols.

You no longer use the configure "--with-login" option to choose an
authentication and password checking scheme. Instead, the imspd is
linked against the SASL library. Provide the appropriate security
mechanism plug-ins (dynamic libraries) to SASL and they will be
available to the IMSP server.

The authorization code is still present, however, because the SASL API 
doesn't provide an abstraction layer for group membership, access
control lists, etc. The "--with-auth" option is still used to select
the appropriate authorization module at compile time.

To obtain a copy of SASL, refer to these URLs:
  <http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/>
  <ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/>

This version of Cyrus IMSP requires atleast SASLv2.

PARTS OF CYRUS IMAPD INCLUDED
-----------------------------

The "lib" subdirectory is a direct copy of the equivalent portion of
the Cyrus IMAP mail server sources (at some point in the past).
Only the Makefile.in has been modified to omit unnecessary portions.
If you're having trouble with this part of the code, you can instead
try the latest Cyrus IMAPD sources to see if it helps. See the URLs above.


SHORT INSTRUCTIONS
------------------

	./configure
	make all

To compile with Kerberos authorization and Kerberos found in
/usr/local, use:

	./configure --with-auth=krb --with-krb=/usr/local

See the next section or look in configure.in for more configure options.


COMPILATION OPTIONS
-------------------

Define these preprocessor macros by adding something like
"-DANONYMOUS_LOGIN" to the compiler command line. Both of these should
probably be converted to run-time options set in the global options
file.

 ANONYMOUS_LOGIN 
  Permits the user "anonymous" to login with any password.

 DISABLE_AUTO_CREATE_AB
  Define this if you don't want users to be able to create their
  own addressbooks. Note that the imsp.create.new.users option
  controls the automatic creation of the options file, not the
  addressbook.

As of version 1.6a1 of the server, the mailbox (bboard) features and
all other IMAP proxy features have been removed.

CONFIGURE OPTIONS
-----------------

  --with-sasldir=PATH     PATH where the SASL library is installed
  --with-ldap=LIBRARY     use LDAP address book features
                          LIBRARY is the name of your LDAP library
  --with-lock=METHOD      force use of METHOD for locking
                          METHOD is flock or fcntl
  --with-auth=METHOD      use authorization module METHOD
                          METHOD is unix, krb, or krb_pts
  --with-krb=PATH         use Kerberos from PATH
  --with-statedir=DIR     use DIR as state directory for ptclient,
                          only needed when using krb_pts for authorization


LONG INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------

Configure the package for your system.  In the directory above the one
that this file is in, type `./configure'.  If you're using `csh' on an
old version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead
to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. If you are
using Ultrix, you might need to type `sh5 configure' to avoid bugs in
/bin/sh. Note that 'sh -x configure' may give different results than
'sh configure', making it difficult to debug configure scripts.

The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and
creates the Makefile(s) (one in each subdirectory of the source
directory).  In some packages it creates a C header file containing
system-dependent definitions.  It also creates a file `config.status'
that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration.

Running `configure' takes a minute or two.  While it is running, it
prints some messages that tell what it is doing.  If you don't want to
see the messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected
to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'.

To compile the package in a different directory from the one
containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the VPATH variable, such as GNU `make'.  `cd' to the directory
where you want the object files and executables to go and run
`configure'.  `configure' automatically checks for the source code in
the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.  If for some reason
`configure' is not in the source code directory that you are
configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code.
In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where
DIR is the directory that contains the source code.

Another `configure' option is useful mainly in `Makefile' rules for
updating `config.status' and `Makefile'.  The `--no-create' option
figures out the configuration for your system and records it in
`config.status', without actually configuring the package (creating
`Makefile's and perhaps a configuration header file).  Later, you can
run `./config.status' to actually configure the package.  You can also
give `config.status' the `--recheck' option, which makes it re-run
`configure' with the same arguments you used before.  This option is
useful if you change `configure'.

If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking
that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial
values for some variables by setting them in the environment.  In
Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like
this:
	CC='gcc -traditional' DEFS=-D_POSIX_SOURCE ./configure

For csh compatible shells, you can do something like this:

	(setenv CC 'gcc -traditional' ; ./configure)

The `make' variables that you might want to override with environment
variables when running `configure' are:

(For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the
value that `configure' would choose:)
CC		C compiler program.
		Default is `cc', or `gcc' if `gcc' is in your PATH.
INSTALL		Program to use to install files.
		Default is `install' if you have it, `cp' otherwise.
		If you have an non-standard `install', use INSTALL="cp -p"

(For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to
the value that `configure' chooses:)
DEFS		Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar ...'
CFLAGS		Compiler options, such as `-O -g ...'
LIBS		Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar ...'

If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage
you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and
mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we
can include them in the next release.

After running configure, do a:

	make depend

followed by a:

	make all
