IMAP & GSSAPI & Kerberos

843810May 14 2009 — edited May 14 2009

i am developing a simple mail client. I want that when client computer joined in a Domain like ActiveDirectory, he can be able to connect his IMAP account without using his password. I think it can be done by using Kerberos tickets (?is it true?) and gssapi mechanism. As IMAP provider i am using JAVAMAIL and mail server is Exchange2007.

I have asked to javamail forum about that.

The answer is:
"Currently only the JavaMail IMAP protocol provider supports SASL. According to The Java SASL API Programming and Deployment Guide, GSSAPI is supported."

But i cant figure out how can i do it. At least can yo tell me if i am in a wrong way or not? What i have to do?

Thanks..
