Hi,

we authenticate our users against IMAP. When setting an account to “disabled” state within eGroupware the user is still able to login.

Is anyone aware of this problem?

Is there any workaround?

Version 1.2.106

Thanks,  
David

Hi David,

if authentication is done against something else then the own  
account-storage, eGW does not use the account-active flag.
