Hi, I have been stuck for a few days on this. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. It would be really nice if someone could give me a few clues...
I'm trying to install Cyrus imapd-2.1.3/sasl-2.1.1 on a default redhat 7.2 server install. Here is what it says when I do: imtest -t "" localhost C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * OK chicken.canram.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.3 server ready S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS S: C01 OK Completed S01 OK Begin TLS negotiation now verify error:num=18:self signed certificate TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher DES-CBC3-SHA (168/168 bits) C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS S: C01 OK Completed Password: C: L01 LOGIN root {5} + go ahead C: <omitted> L01 NO Login failed: generic failure Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 168 It should display the available AUTH but it doesn't...any idea why? Here is more information: This is what it says in the imapd.log Mar 26 12:18:20 chicken imapd[769]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher DES-CBC3-SHA (168/168 bits new) no authentication Mar 26 12:18:22 chicken imapd[769]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] plaintext root SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed And in the auth.log it says nothing I tried different pwcheck methods and none work. Here is my imapd.conf file: configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb tls_cert_file: /var/imap/imap-server.pem tls_key_file: /var/imap/imap-server.pem tls_cert_file: /var/imap/pop3-server.pem tls_key_file: /var/imap/pop3-server.pem Here are the steps I go through. (I did try a few variations with no success) cd cyrus-sasl ./configure --disable-krb4 --with-pwcheck --enable-login make make install ln -s /usr/lib/sasl12 /usr/local/lib/sasl12 cd cryus-imap ./configure --with-auth=unix --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-sasl=/usr/local make depend make all CFLAGS=-O useradd -g mail cyrus make install vi /etc/syslog.conf (insert at the end) local6.debug /var/log/imapd.log auth.debug /var/log/auth.log touch /var/log/imapd.log /var/log/auth.log vi /etc/imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_passwd_check: shadow tls_cert_file: /var/imap/imap-server.pem tls_key_file: /var/imap/imap-server.pem tls_cert_file: /var/pop/pop-server.pem tls_key_file: /var/pop/pop-server.pem cd /var mkdir imap chown cyrus imap chgrp mail imap chmod 750 imap cd /var/spool mkdir imap chown cyrus imap chgrp mail imap chmod 750 imap cd /usr mkdir sieve chown cyrus sieve chgrp mail sieve chmod 750 sieve su cyrus tools/mkimap exit chattr +S /var/spool/mqueue openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /var/imap/imap-server.pem -keyout /var/imap/imap-server.pem -days 1200 openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /var/imap/pop3-server.pem -keyout /var/imap/pop3-server.pem -days 1200 chown cyrus /var/imap/pop3-server.pem chown cyrus /var/imap/imap-server.pem vi /etc/services pop3 110/tcp imap 143/tcp imsp 406/tcp acap 674/tcp imaps 993/tcp pop3s 995/tcp kpop 1109/tcp sieve 2000/tcp lmtp 2003/tcp fud 4201/udp remove from xinetd.d imap,imaps,pop3,pop3s,kpop,lmtp,sieve cp master/conf/normal.conf /etc/cyrus.conf Thanks!
