Hello, I am having a problem with the cyrus-sasl2 sample client/server test system. My problem is very similar to one that was on this list early January, 2006. http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/search.php?mailbox=archive.cyrus-sasl&searchterm=cyrus-sasl2+mysql+postfix+freebsd+problem just to sumarize postfix - cyrus-sasl2 - mysql - freeBSD based on Hildebrandt and Koetter. I quess the first question is am I correct in saying: the sample server/client tests depend only on the cyrus-sasl2 program, the sample programs themselves, the sample.conf file, and any backend required? (In my case, mySQL.) I start the server program with server -s rcmd -p 8000 and the client with client -s rcmd -p 8000 -m PLAIN 127.0.0.1 my example.conf file: (located at /usr/local/lib/sasl2/sample.conf) # Global parameters reset to 1 or 2 for production server log_level: 3 pwcheck_method: auxprop mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN #auxiliary Plugin parameters auxprop_plugin: sasldb [I have also tried sql] sql_engine: mysql sql_hostnames: localhost sql_database: --removed-- sql_user: --removed-- sql_passwd: --removed-- sql_select: SELECT userpassword FROM virtual_users WHERE username = '%u' sql_usessl: no The output from the server shows the userame entered and the password entered but authentication fails. Any help appreciated. Ray
