I want to use Postfix SMTP Authentication, but I have found some problems to run it: it runs with sasldb, but I need other authentication mechanisms, and I always obtained the same: "535 Error: authentication failed".
I have installed:
libsasl-digest
libsasl-gssapi
libsasl-module
libsasl2
libsasl2-modul
libsasl7
sasl-bin /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf contains "pwcheck_method: pam"
and /etc/postfix/master.cf (Postfix is NOT chrooted):
--------------------
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
--------------------in /etc/postfix/main.cf: -------------------- smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = galway.csnet.es smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous --------------------
The problem is that in the log I can only see this:
--------------------
smtpd_sasl_authenticate: sasl_method plain, init_response Y2VASDFSADFAGNlc19jSDAFKJSADFLKJdg=
Mar 4 09:41:53 titania postfix/smtpd[21035]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: decoded initial response xxx_xxxxx
Mar 4 09:41:55 titania smtpd[21035]: warning:
galway[1.1.1.1]: SASL plain authentication failed
--------------------
If I tried to use sasldb I authenticate without problems. �Does anybody know how is pam configured? I have in /etc/pam.d/smtp the next lines:
--------------------
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_unix.so
--------------------
