Cyrus Virtual Domains
*********************

First of all see the "install-virtdomains.html" file in your Cyrus
distribution.


Global admins
=============

Pay attention to this in the documentation:

Global administrators are specified with an unqualified userid in the
admins option and have access to any mailbox on the server. Because
global admins use unqualified userids, they belong to the
defaultdomain. As a result, you can **NOT** have a global admin
without specifying a defaultdomain. Note that when trying to login as
a global admin to a multi-homed server from remote machine, it might
be necessary to fully qualify the userid with the defaultdomain.

In my case (Cyrus was listening not on the hostname but on an alias) I
had to provide the servername and defaultdomain parameter, and these
had to be the same. A part of my imapd.conf(5):

   admins: cyrus cyrus@mail.ugent.be
   defaultdomain: mail1.ugent.be
   servername: mail1.ugent.be
   unixhierarchysep: 1
   virtdomains: userid

See the following thread:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-
cyrus&msg=39557 Thanks to Baltasar Cevc for helping to debug this.

I added users to "/etc/sasldb2" with:

   saslpasswd2 -c cyrus@mail1.ugent.be
   saslpasswd2 -c cyrus@mail.ugent.be

   jura:/mail/mail1/etc# cyradm --user cyrus@mail1.ugent.be mail1.ugent.be
   Password:
   mail1.ugent.be> lm
   user/fabel@test.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   user/fiebel@test.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   user/foo.bar@mail.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   user/foo.fafa@mail.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   user/rudy.gevaert@mail.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   user/testuser2@mail.ugent.be (\HasNoChildren)
   mail1.ugent.be> quit
   jura:/mail/mail1/etc# cyradm --user cyrus@mail.ugent.be mail1.ugent.be
   Password:
   mail1.ugent.be> lm
   user/foo.bar (\HasNoChildren)       user/rudy.gevaert (\HasNoChildren)
   user/foo.fafa (\HasNoChildren)      user/testuser2 (\HasNoChildren)

As you can see the first user is the global admin, while the second
user is the admin for the mail.ugent.be domain.


Replication and virtual domains

In 2.3.3 this doesn't work:
