[389-users] Multiple user directories: what is the best practice?

Hi,

I'm currently using 389 for PAM authentication. I would also like to to 
use 389 for Cyrus (IMAP) authentication. However, the set of users for 
Cyrus is not the same as for PAM: some users may exist in the set of PAM 
users but not in the set of Cyrus users and vice versa. Apart from that, 
I want the users to use different passwords for PAM and Cyrus.


What is the best practice to adress this?: Should I set up a different 
instance of 389 for Cyrus auth and keep my existing 389 instance for PAM 
auth separate? Or is there a way to do this in the same instance?

Cheers,
Ray
