Dear list,
this is a general cyrus-imap problem which I am facing in my suse 10.1.
the cyrus-imap admin user is cyrus and password ---> secret
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/passwd | grep cyrus
cyrus:x:96:12:User for cyrus-imapd:/usr/lib/cyrus:/bin/bash
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I hv no problem to log into cyradm like * cyradm -u cyrus localhost*
now I hv created an user joydeep with *saslpasswd2 -c joydeep*
also through cyradm I hv created mailbox for the same user like
localhost > cm user.joydeep
and *lm* shows the existace of the user.joydeep
but this time * cyradm -u joydeep localhost* is not working and it
throws an error like
Login failed: authentication failure at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm
line 118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as joydeep
though the existance of the user joydeep is been confirmed by
# sasldblistusers2
joydeep@linux: userPassword
the hostname of this machine is linux.
I got an authentication error like
-------------------------------------------------------------
# testsaslauthd -u joydeep -p jb
0: NO "authentication failed"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I hv checked the /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and found
## Path: System/Security/SASL
## Type: list(getpwent,kerberos5,pam,rimap,shadow,ldap)
## Default: pam
## ServiceRestart: saslauthd
#
# Authentication mechanism to use by saslauthd.
# See man 8 saslauthd for available mechanisms.
#
SASLAUTHD_AUTHMECH=pam
so it is not sasldb but it is pam. now how can I just enter a userid and pasword in PAM ?
thanks
