[jadmin] Virtual Hosting and External Authentication

[Joel Ebel]

I can configure cyrus to use saslauthd and point it at ldap, but I don't 
know if that solves the problem.  I think the fundamental issue is 
virtual hosting needing to pass the domain to some authentication 
system, and I'm not sure if the external authentication modules are 
capable of that.  Either that or it needs to know the domain it's trying 
to authenticate to and choose an IP address to connect to if using 
something with IP based virtual hosting.  Is this possible with a single 
jabber server?
