Hi.

It didn't work. I tried first with {EXTERNAL} and then with {PLAIN} the result below was the same in both cases.

---
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=EXTERNAL] Dovecot ready.
a LOGIN username-from-cert ""
a NO [ALERT] Unsupported authentication mechanism.
DONE

Thanks

The tests using SASL and SASL-IR in Thunderbird both fail to authenticate. I have tried using openssl s_client with the same result. I've run the auth command in three ways just to be sure I got the second example right. I even checked to make sure I've spelt my name right and the case of the letters.

EXTERNAL auth works only if this this also works:

a LOGIN username-from-cert ""

i.e. login with empty password.

 passdb:
   driver: passwd-file
   args: /opt/etc/dovecot/passwd
 userdb:
   driver: passwd

/opt/etc/dovecot/passwd
Stephen:{EXTERNAL}

So try {PLAIN} here.
