Dear cyrus friends, I like to use the replication feature of cyrus. On the backend I changed the cyrus.conf file. I added: <syncserver cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/bin/sync_server" listen="csync"> to the SERVICES. On the client side I changed the imapd.conf file and cyrus.conf file in the following way. cyrus.conf: I added <syncclient cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/bin/sync_client -l -r"> to the START section. imapd.conf: I added <sync_host: MyComputer.example.com> <sync_authname: username> <sync_log: 1> <sync_password: secret> I also did some changes to the services file to add csync and portnumbers. If I run ClientComputer# synctest -u username -a username -t '' -m PLAIN MyComputer.example.com S: * SASL SCRAM-SHA-1 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM S: * STARTTLS S: * COMPRESS DEFLATE S: * OK MyComputer Cyrus sync server v2.4.17 C: STARTTLS S: OK Begin TLS negotiation now verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) S: * SASL SCRAM-SHA-1 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM PLAIN LOGIN S: * OK MyComputer Cyrus sync server v2.4.17 Please enter your password: C: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN sdjaskjfksfhsdfksfdasdkkfjsfdaksjkfjksfjksfjlfjkfjkj S: OK Success (tls protection) Authenticated. Security strength factor: 256 So everything seems to be fine.... However if I restart imapd on the client, I do not get any synchronization. I found the following message in the logs of the client: Feb 20 16:01:42 ClientComputer sync_client[36229]: couldn't authenticate to backend server: authentication failure I found the following message in the logs of the backend: Feb 20 16:01:39 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Feb 20 16:01:39 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: badlogin: ClientComputer.example.com [192.168.0.15] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] Feb 20 16:01:57 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Feb 20 16:01:57 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: badlogin: ClientComputer.example.com [192.168.0.15] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] Feb 20 16:02:30 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Feb 20 16:02:30 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: badlogin: ClientComputer.example.com [192.168.0.15] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] Feb 20 16:03:33 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Feb 20 16:03:33 MyComputer syncserver[15127]: badlogin: ClientComputer.example.com [192.168.0.15] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] Feb 20 16:05:36 MyComputer syncserver[15136]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied Feb 20 16:05:36 MyComputer syncserver[15136]: badlogin: ClientComputer.example.com [192.168.0.15] SCRAM-SHA-1 [SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops] Or if I directly call for sync_client: MyComputer# /usr/local/cyrus/bin/sync_client -o -l -S 192.168.X.Y -r MyComputer# Can not connect to server '192.168.X.Y' I guess I'm missing the authentication mechanism for the sync_client, but I'm not sure. Can someone help me out? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, De jrus wah, Wiel ************************************* W.K.
