Authentication Methods Unclear

[dwhagar]

So, is the only authentication method that is actually usable, htpasswd?

The config file that comes with the distribution clearly states:

[auth]
# Authentication method
# Value: None | htpasswd | IMAP | LDAP | PAM | courier | http

Of course, setting the type= to IMAP, LDAP, or PAM shows that there are no Python files for those authentication methods. Taking a look at the actual code, it clearly shows that such a module has yet to be written. From what I read on another issue, this has been intentionally done but the config file suggests it has not? What gives? Why was this removed? Is there a workaround?

Can only use htpasswd, the OS dist is a outdated version.

Hiya,

I'm also wondering what the plan here is. Would you be open to accepting a new Radicale 3.0-compatible auth/pam.py and auth/imap.py files? As recently as half a year before this thread (#552 (comment)) PAM was still supported.

@kousu : if required, please submit PR for authentication using PAM or IMAP against latest 3.x
