Hi List!

Should those two /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf files do the same or not?

-------------------Sendmail.conf variant 1-----------------------------
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: login plain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Together with that, saslauthd ist started with "-a sasldb".

------------------Sendmail.conf variant 2------------------------------
pw_check_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb
mech_list: login plain

With that, saslauthd can stay asleep.


Sascha,

You've got a typo in the second config. 'pw_check_method' is wrong.
Hi Dan!

Thanks for the hint, but this was just a typo in my message. It was late and all I want to know is - should both configurations (without typos) do basicly the same, or not?


I have not configured saslauthd in the way that you are testing, but I believe that the two should function in a similar way.

To clear things up. The original target was and is a setup with sendmail offering optional SSL and TLS. Plain, login, cram-md5 and digest-md5 as auth-mechs, all against (cleartext) credentials in OpenLDAP via auxprop and ldapdb. I got OpenLDAP working with sshd via PAM (actually using saslauthd). But couldn't get sendmail to do it's job. So I tried

I have a similar working setup using Postfix/ldapdb. I would trouble shoot this as Sendmail specific, unless you have another daemon set up using ldapdb to test with. You can try increasing your log_level:

I agree that there could be better debugging information available.

smtptest, which is part of the cyrus-clients-2.x Debian package, is a good resource for trouble shooting SMTP setups.
