Thanks very much for these instructions, Danny! When I tell
IMail Admin to use EmerAuth.dll as the external database all the
records appear in the Administrator list under my domain. So I
know it sees the SQL Database. But when I go to look at an eMail
Client the list does not show up in the User-ID drop down list
box, and the phone rings with someone saying they can't get into
their eMail. So I switch it back to the NTDatabase selection.
The Emerald Admin links the Services to Imail as I've rechecked
your instructions step by step. I am using iMail 6.02! Your
note about a bug in EmerAuth concerning names is correct...It
only shows the last name in the first name box without a capital
first letter.

I'm running EmerAuth at the Emerald SQL server and iMail on
another server. I did not load EmerAuth Admin on the iMail
server...Should I have EmerAuth running on both machines maybe?
Any rebooting needed?
