NAME

cyr_deny − Cyrus IMAP documentation

deny users access to Cyrus services

SYNOPSIS

cyr_deny [ −C config−file ] [ −s services ] [ −m message ] user
cyr_deny
[ −C config−file ] −a user
cyr_deny
[ −C config−file ] −l

DESCRIPTION

cyr_deny is used to deny individual users access to Cyrus services. The first synopsis denies user user access to Cyrus services, the second synopsis allows access again. cyr_deny works by adding an entry to the Cyrus user_deny.db database; the third synopsis lists the entries in the database. The service names to be matched are those as used in cyrus.conf(5).

cyr_deny reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by −C.

OPTIONS

−C config−file

Use the specified configuration file config−file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

−a, −−allow

Allow access to all services for user user (remove any entry from the deny database).

−s services, −−services=services

Deny access only to the given services, which is a comma−separated list of wildcard patterns. The default is "*" which denies access to all services.

−m message, −−message=message

Provide a message which is sent to the user to explain why access is being denied. A default message is used if none is specified.

−l, −−list

List the entries in the deny database.
