An entry in sasldb contains 3 or maybe 4 parts. Username, Realm, Password (and Type: the "userPassword"). If your users uses only a Username, without @domain-Part, the Hostname of the Server is used for this key. This is servername in imapd.conf for Cyrus-Imapd. Either create entries with: # saslpasswd -cu domain.tld username And tell your users to use "user@xxxxxxxxxx" as Username. This should work on both servers, then. Or if you (have already) create(d) entries with: # saslpasswd -c username The Hostname of the Server is used and either your Users use "username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" as username or you have to change something between the Source and Destination (Backup) Server. The easiest is to change the servername (imapd.conf) of the Backup-Server to be equal the other. Then Users can use "username" on both servers. > > the Hostname of the Source-Server.

If the databasetype is bdb, you can use db_dump/db_load # db_dump -p /etc/sasldb2 | sed 's/host1\.domain\.tld/host2.domain.tld/' | db_load /etc/sasldb2_new This is only an example, if you really want to use something like that, you should work at least on the regexp in sed. Or a little Perl-Script. -- Andreas
