Hi folks.
I'm setting up Dovecot and local user accounts on an existing Centos 7 +
EXIM install.
I've added authentication for the local users as:
dovecot_login:
driver = dovecot
public_name = LOGIN
server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
server_set_id = $auth1
dovecot_plain:
driver = dovecot
public_name = PLAIN
server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
server_set_id = $auth1
However, when I try authenticate as a user, the following errors get logged:
2023-02-01 12:50:11 dovecot_login authenticator failed for hub.********
([10.1.1.103]) [**.**.**.**]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present:
unable to connect to UNIX socket (/var/run/dovecot/auth-client):
Permission denied
The socket exists, but does not have suitable permissions.
[root@vps2 exim]# ll /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
srw-------. 1 dovecot root 0 Feb 1 11:47 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
[root@vps2 exim]#
Is it simply a case of changing ownership / permissions, and if so, what
do I change them to?
If not, can anyone tell me what I need to do please.
Cheers
Gary
