Cyrus imap documentation deny users access to cyrus services
Overview
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.
