The first time I posted these questions, they got buried in a thread so
here's post number two.
The authentication modules that are included with courier IMAP have
working change password functions. This means that using authtest to
change passwords should work, right? It doesn't for me.
I'm using authdaemon to handle authentication chores. My authmodulelist
parameter in the authdaemonrc file looks like this:
authmodulelist="authcustom authcram authuserdb authpam"
Authpam is used to authenticate system accounts and authuserdb is used
for virtual mail accounts. Using authtest to test authentication works
for both system and virtual accounts. This is the sort of thing I get:
authtest <username> <password>
Authenticated: module authdaemon
<user info follows>
If I try to use authtest to change a password, again either a system or
virtual account, I get this:
authtest <username> <password> <newpassword>
Authentication FAILED!
If I use a bogus username or password, authentication always fails so it
seems like authtest is accessing the proper user databases. Any ideas
why the password change is failing?
The reason I'm harping on authtest is that I'm under the impression that
it should work for password changes and it seems pointless go to the
trouble of writing my own program if I can't even get the test program
to work.
