I'm attempting to move from one server to another and have begun replicating the set-up on the new box but am running into problems. I want to set up authentication through sasldb and TLS (though the TLS postfix stuff is all commented out for now). I'm trying to set up authentication through sasldb2. I have assigned a both system and saslpasswd2 passwords to the cyrus user. When i su - cyrus from root and try: cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost I'm prompted for both "password" and "IMAP password". I guessed the first is the system one so used that first, then the one assigned using saslpasswd2. I see the following: Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119 cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus If i append "--auth plain" as some docs online suggest, I see the same error, with "with plain as cyrus". Why do i see a prompt for both "password" and "IMAP password"? I'm sure I've never seen that before. The following are what I have right now: installed (RPM): cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-8.fc7 cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-8.fc7 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-8.fc7 cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.22-8.fc7 cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-8.fc7 postfix-2.5.1-1.sasl2.spf.fc7 saslauthd is stopped /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf: pwcheck_method: auxprop mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN I will be adding DIGEST-MD5 to the mech list once i make a little headway. /etc/imapd.conf: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true unixhierarchysep: no altnamespace: yes sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN #tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem #tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem #tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt defaultdomain: MYDOMAIN virtdomains: userid loginrealms: MYDOMAIN allowplaintext: 1 /etc/pam.d/imap #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-auth account include system-auth I know that pwcheck_method is not pam but is there some other place I need to check to ensure this is the case? I've been banging my head on this all afternoon and I'm losing track of which config files are important to what part of the process. ---- 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
