Hi Arjen Thank you for your suggestion, I had already tried backends.local.php, but now I have one with just the line you suggested. I also modified backends.php so all the example configurations have 'disabled' => true, I reinstated the sql database for horde with one entry in horde_users with a plain text password so I can have an administrative login. In horde authentication I have sql authentication and plain encryption
I confirmed that within webmin/postfix I can access user mailboxes and send/receive emails into the virtualmin default /home/<virtualname>/Maildir Under 'imap server', I have enabled imap with no encryption On the 'mailer' I also have 'plain' authentication. However, I'm still in the same hole and no amount of digging gets me out of it! the test.php script still gives IMP authentication failed /var/log/maillog hasFeb 25 13:42:47 scotz1 dovecot: auth: mysql: Connected to localhost (mail) Feb 25 13:42:55 scotz1 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<plawrie>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured If I attempt to enter horde/mail with the username and password I have in horde_users I get HORDE: User is not authorized for imp [pid 32760 on line 259 of "/usr/share/pear/share/pear/Horde/Registry.php"] I can confirm this same username and password also set up as a 'real' linux user in /etc/passwd Yours in exasperation Peter Lawrie On 25 February 2013 12:43, Arjen de Korte <[email protected]> wrote: > Citeren peter lawrie > <peter.lawrie@glendiscovery.**co.uk<[email protected]> > >: > > > > What is in your imp/config/backends.local.php file?
