This is the second time SASL/GSSAPI problems have come up recently, which is interesting. The other case is to do with sync_client failing to authenticate with SASL/GSSAPI, which is nothing to do with sivtest, but might suggest a broader pattern. The github issue for that one is https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/5452 > Is it worth to discus/report a issue for the tool regarding 3rd party > servers or is it just for internal testing of cyrus imap server ? > > If yes, where i should continue to post more details on the issue ? Please open a new github issue for the sivtest failure. I hope it ends up being related to the other one, and we can fix both issues in the same way. But if it ends up being unrelated, it'll be less confusing if the details are not intermingled. Any details you can provide would be appreciated, thanks. I don't know that we intend sivtest to be general purpose, but these are all standard protocols so they ought to be interoperable, at least for something as fundamental as authentication. > If no, any hints for a general purpose sieve SASL GSSAPI test tool ? Sorry, I'm not aware of one.
