Just when I say I have Squirrelmail running on a separate host with no
problem, there's a problem. ;)

I'm running dovecot 2.0.11, and require encrypted logins. Plain logins
with TLS works fine, all the time, from any client. However, SM doesn't
yet do TLS (it's in the 1.5.1 version, which is considered development).
So I have SM configured to use cram-md5.

This works sometimes, but sometimes SM logins fail. The problem is
intermittent. Some users work ok while others do not. Also, some users
who didn't work one day may work the next. The only indication of error
I see in the logs is dovecot, which simply says authentication failure.

Has anyone else here seen this sort of failure?

Also, I'm considering giving SM 1.5.x a try. Has anyone been using this
version yet?

Thanks.


I found and fixed the problem. For those of you running dovecot, you may want to change
cache_key=%u
to
cache_key=%u%r
in your configuration file. There are 2 places in the configuration where this is defined, in passdb and userdb sections.

I won't be creating a special release for this, but I hope to remember to get it included whenever the next release occurs.
