Dear list! I am using Cyrus IMAPd 2.2.13 on Debian Lenny. I tried to configure my IMAPd to allow PLAIN authentication, even over non-encrypted connections. (This is a pure Intranet deployment and I understand the risk.)
Despite setting the appropriate options in imapd.conf, i.e.: sasl_mech_list: PLAIN sasl_minimum_layer: 0 the server just refuses to announce PLAIN as an authentication mechanism. I am using auxprop with the libldapdb module, not saslauthd! I have found another thread saying that the binary needs to be compiled with the --enable-plain option; otherwise the support for PLAIN auth would just be disabled for security reasons. I have tried that, but also, no luck. What do I need to do to get an imapd which will allow PLAIN authentication? Regards, Torsten
