I'm sure a number of you remember the problems I had getting cyrus imap and sasl to compile. I finally got it to compile and almost working. The problem I'm having is with logging into the server. I've used sasl2 to generate a password and made sure the dbs are owned by the user "cyrus". I'm reasonable sure the imapd.conf and cyrus.conf files are good since I copied them from a linux machine that has cyrus imapd/sasl2 working. I did of course fix up the paths in them. When I try to login to run imtest I get the following entries in the imapd.log file: Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int master[4393]: [ID 392559 local6.debug] about to exec /opt/cyrus/bin/imapd Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 518349 local6.debug] executed Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 136705 local6.debug] IOERROR: opening /var/lib/imap/user_deny.db: No such file or directory Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 921384 local6.debug] accepted connection Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 301543 local6.info] skiplist: checkpointed /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db (1 record, 320 bytes) in 0 seconds Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 574029 local6.debug] SSL_accept() incomplete -> wait Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 867439 local6.debug] SSL_accept() succeeded -> done Oct 27 12:47:55 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 379946 local6.notice] starttls: TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication Oct 27 12:48:03 cyrus-int imap[4393]: [ID 914338 local6.notice] badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] plaintext cyrus SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed The interaction with imtest is: bash-3.00# ./imtest -a cyrus -t "" localhost S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 SASL-IR] cyrus-int Cyrus IMAP v2.4.2 server ready C: S01 STARTTLS S: S01 OK Begin TLS negotiation now verify error:num=18:self signed certificate TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 SASL-IR ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY CATENATE CONDSTORE ESEARCH SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE LIST-EXTENDED WITHIN QRESYNC SCAN XLIST URLAUTH URLAUTH=BINARY COMPRESS=DEFLATE IDLE S: C01 OK Completed Please enter your password: C: L01 LOGIN cyrus {8} S: + go ahead C: <omitted> S: L01 NO Login failed: generic failure Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 256 Any ideas?
