The ImapAuthorization extension provides user authentication checks against an e-mail server. If the username exists is checked against the SMTP server. The credentials are checked against an IMAP server.

• The PHP module "imap". Under CentOS this can be achieved with the following command:

yum install php-imap

setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
