Dear All I have had a problem that sync_client cannot authenticate to the replica with a badlogin a few times and now found a workaround. Version of cyrus-imapd 2.4.6 and sasl 2.1.23 What happened (see parts of log below) At 10:23 added new user to sasldb2 then there is a delay before the badlogin occurs when the sync_client does a RESTART The fix was to su cyrus and run at 10:53:59 sync_client -o -v -l -u user.AAAAAA Then all was OK Note the sync_client has the same process ID 28563 but the syncserver process IDs changed from 13636 to 13919 then 13925. The server is quite busy during this period and I noticed the log file in the sync directory growing.
