I am having great difficulty in getting cyradm to work properly with a 2.3.6 murder. This is a 'standard' murder with separate front-end, backends, and mupdate server. 'virtdomains: userid' is in effect. Operations done by ordinary users are OK; I only have trouble with admin ops. Problem 1: creating top-level user mailboxes. I connect to the front-end with cyradm: /usr/local/cyrus/bin/cyradm -user zqvh_admin fe1.srv.tile Things like listmailbox work OK. However, if I try to create a new user on a specified backend server: fe1.srv.tile> cm user/n7@xxxxxxxx ms1.srv.tile createmailbox: Permission denied (If I leave out the backend name, the mailbox gets created on the frontend and then things get *really* confusing.) This permission denied is very odd, as I can connect directly to the mailstore ms1.srv.tile and authenticate as either the main admin user or as the frontend proxy user and create the mailbox with no trouble. I enable protocol logs on the message store, and found this:
In my testing and experience, you can only create new mailboxes by connecting directly to the backend server that you want the mailbox stored on.
I use a simple plaintext authentication system without virtual domains. Andy ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
