I am seeing an authentication problem when using imtest. I have cyrus-imapd-utils-2.4.14-1.fc17.i686 The imtest man page says the -r switch specifies the 'realm', but -r does not seem to work. I used: [root@imap-server ~]# saslpasswd2 user Password ... and [root@imap-server ~]# saslpasswd2 cyrus ... Which puts cyrus@imap-host.mydomain and user@imap-host@mydomain into /etc/sasldb2 Now: $ imtest -s -a cyrus localhost' Authenticates. But $ imtest -s -a cyrus imap-host $ imtest -s -a cyrus -r imap-host.mydomain imap-host >From another host fails with: "Authentication failed. generic failure" On the other hand: $ imtest -s -a user localhost $ imtest -s -a user BOTH authenticate, but are pointless because I need to authenticate for other, different, realms. If instead I use: [root@imap-server ~]# saslpasswd2 -u mydomain user Password ... That is, secify the (badly named 'domain') realm realm for sasldb2. Now: $ imtest -s -a user -r mydomain localhost $ imtest -s -a user -r mydomain imap-host Both produce "Authentication failed. generic failure" The /var/log/maillog messages are equally un-helpfull: Jan 21 17:39:21 imap-host imaps[5610]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication Jan 21 17:39:48 imap-host imaps[5610]: badlogin: localhost [::1] DIGEST-MD5 [SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database] Obviously I missed some 'realm' configuration for cyrus-imapd or don't understand how to use -u realm for saslpasswd2 or the -r realm parameter for imtest! I think I understood saslpasswd -u realm because I have realms working for sendmail using saslauthd. What am I doing wrong? # cat /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 sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_mech_list: PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 sasl_auxprop_plugin:sasldb #allowplaintext: no #defaultdomain: mail #loginrealms: mydomain 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 I tried loginrealms: mydomain without success! The localhost test FQDN is imap-host.mydomain and my DNS works. ie '$ host imap-host' produces imap-host.mydomain has address 192.168.#.# Thanks in advance, Charles Bradshaw ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
