Is this possible? And what do I need to consider? The IMAP server response with the following authentication mechanism: AUTH=SCRAM-SHA-1 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=NTLM AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN If I login with SCRAM-SHA-1: MyName@MyComputer:~$ cyradm --user username --auth SCRAM-SHA-1 localhost Password: verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with SCRAM-SHA-1 as username In the logs: Feb 21 09:48:36 MyComputer imap[17576]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] I'm pretty sure that the user is registered in the ldap database. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, De jrus wah, Wiel ************************************* W.K.
