IMAP and IMAPS Authentication are supported natively in tikiwiki, and can be configured as shown below:

Browse to Admin, Login, User registration and login
- set "Authentication Method" to Tiki and PEAR::Auth
- Click "Change preferences" at the bottom of the "User registration and login" section

Browse to Admin, Login, PEAR::Auth
- set "Auth Type" to IMAP
- Set "IMAP/POP3/LDAP Host" to be the IP address or hostname of your IMAP server
- Set "IMAP/POP3/LDAP Port" to 143
- Click "Change preferences"

Done!

Documentation needed.

Copy/paste from mailing list:
"On your page, in authentication, you are missing IMAP(S), it is a very good and simpler way to authenticate than LDAP. I just implemented it. It uses the same PEAR:Auth library."
