NAME

8       deny users access to Cyrus services

SYNOPSIS

11       cyr_deny [ -C config-file ] [ -s services ] [ -m message ] user
12       cyr_deny [ -C config-file ] -a user
13       cyr_deny [ -C config-file ] -l
14

DESCRIPTION

16       cyr_deny  is  used  to  deny individual users access to Cyrus services.
17       The first synopsis denies user user access to Cyrus services, the  sec‐
18       ond synopsis allows access again.  cyr_deny works by adding an entry to
19       the Cyrus user_deny.db database; the third synopsis lists  the  entries
20       in  the database.  The service names to be matched are those as used in
21       cyrus.conf(5).
22
23       cyr_deny reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5)  file
24       unless specified otherwise by -C.
25

OPTIONS

27       -C config-file
28              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
29              default imapd.conf(5).
30
31       -a user
32              Allow access to all services for user  user  (remove  any  entry
33              from the deny database).
34
35       -s services
36              Deny  access  only to the given services, which is a comma-sepa‐
37              rated list of wildcard patterns.  The default is “*”  which  de‐
38              nies access to all services.
39
40       -m message
41              Provide  a  message which is sent to the user to explain why ac‐
42              cess is being denied.  A default message  is  used  if  none  is
43              specified.
44
45       -l     List the entries in the deny database.
