Dear list, this is my first ever mail to the cyrus group. Hope to get some help. I am using cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-27.6 in Suse 10.1 I have configured cyrus to work with LDAP authentication where the admin user "cyrus" is based on simple pam authentication. So I have both PAM_Unix and PAM_ldap module in my system and configured accordingly. I have no problem to login as cyrus ( to do admin work) as well as I can also log in as an user based in LDAP database. I am using egroupware and felamimail is my webinterface for cyrus. I can send and received email. But I can't use the seiev. whenever I try to use; it gives error like ================================================= Mar 19 12:44:36 linux master[21414]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/timsieved Mar 19 12:44:36 linux sieve[21414]: executed Mar 19 12:44:36 linux sieve[21414]: accepted connection Mar 19 12:44:36 linux saslauthd[4894]: pam_warn(sieve:auth): function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[sieve] terminal=[<unknown>] user=[aftab] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>] Mar 19 12:44:36 linux saslauthd[4894]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure Mar 19 12:44:36 linux saslauthd[4894]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=aftab] [service=sieve] [realm=kolkatainfoservices.in] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Mar 19 12:44:36 linux sieve[21414]: Password verification failed Mar 19 12:44:36 linux sieve[21414]: badlogin: linux.kolkatainfoservices.in[127.0.0.1] PLAIN authentication failure ===================================================================== here is my /etc/imapd.conf ============================================================== configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap sievedir: /var/lib/sieve admins: cyrus allowplaintext: yes sasl_mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN allowanonymouslogin: no autocreatequota: 10000 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd servername:linux.kolkatainfoservices.in lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes unixhierarchysep: yes loginrealms: kolkatainfoservices.in hashimapspool: true lmtpsocket: /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp ============================== ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
