Hello,
I have already installed postfix using sasl.
Saslauthd is ran like this:
/usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a shadow
First, you must be sure that postfix and imapd, which are usually run
under non-root accounts, have enough rights to read and write to
/var/run/saslauthd directory.
The problem is that now i'm following the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO and it says that in the init script for cyrus should be something like this:
/usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -c -a pam& , so I should use the pam mechanism.
Both postfix and cyrus must be instructed to use saslauthd when checking
passwords. For postfix this is done with file /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
For cyrus this is done by editing the file /etc/imapd.conf but the
options are named differently- sasl_pwcheck_method and sasl_mech_list.
How the saslauthd would check passwords depends on -a option and your
installation. Some linux distributions hasn't PAM so it would be safer
to use "-a shadow".
Anyway the idea is that all programs using sasl should use the same mechanism right?What should i do?
Cheers,
A.
