Re: webmail pop login problem
Hi Lisa - If you would like to build the new version so that it permits password authentication in insecure sessions, add "SSLTYPE=unix" to the make command line (you'll have to do a "make clean" first). By default, it is "SSLTYPE=nopwd". -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Re: webmail pop login problem
Thanks Mark- It looks like you are correct. It's a little troublesome in that the webmail advertises it's ability to use secure connections and I had configured the conf file to use secure connections. Perhaps the new version will get it right. imap-2002e # ./ipop3d +OK POP3 v2003.83 server ready CAPA +OK Capability list follows: TOP LOGIN-DELAY 180 UIDL STLS SASL . imap-2002 +OK POP3 v2001.80 server ready CAPA +OK Capability list follows: TOP LOGIN-DELAY 180 UIDL STLS USER SASL LOGIN .
Re: webmail pop login problem
The "Logout user=???" message indicates that the client gave a POP3 QUIT command without ever logging in. If you are not seeing any "Login failed" or "Login disabled" error messages, that means that the client never attempted to log in. I suspect that your pre-existing ipop3d build was one which permitted password logins in an unencrypted session (meaning every bad guy in the world can sniff passwords). By default, ipop3d no longer permits use of password-type authentication unless the session is encrypt. Try running the two copies of ipop3d under the shell. To each one, do a CAPA command. Let me know what the results are. That will show if my guess is correct. If it is, then the reason why your mail clients are working is that they are using encryption (either SSL or TLS), but your webmail is not. You then have two choices: 1) fix your webmail to use encryption. 2) break ipop3d to allow insecure logins, and accept that every so often your system is going to be hacked. Not surprisingly, I recommend choice (1). -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
webmail pop login problem
Dear List- I don't know if the problem I'm having is with the uw-imap software, but posting here seemed a good place to start. I have a mail server built on solaris 8 that I just upgraded/patched the code on. The server has opensourse sendmail (8.12.10), uw-imap, a webmail application purchased from sendmail called sendmail mobile messaging server (running as a cgi on apache 1.3.26) and a sun crypto accelerator card. The accelerator card uses sun's implementation of openssl 0.9.6j [engine] 10 Apr 2003. Sendmail and imap are both compiled against the sun crypto accelerator libraries. Apache mod_ssl is supplied by sun. The cert is self-signed. When I compiled imap-2002e, both imap and pop work fine for normal mail client connections. However, the webmail application fails to connect to the pop server with the incredibly vague error message: An error was returned by the mail server: Error connecting to pop server Please try again. The webmail log file shows a logout (but no login). In my maillog, all I get is this: ---snip- Oct 2 18:15:14 becrux ipop3d[412]: [ID 806292 mail.debug] pop3 service init fro m Oct 2 18:15:14 becrux ipop3d[412]: [ID 533678 mail.info] Logout user=??? host=b ecrux.ligo.caltech.edu [] ---snip- This behavior was the same after compiling both imap-2002e and the development snap from 9/25 and stayed the same irrespective of whether the webmail application was using secure or insecure pop logins. When I copy back my imapd/popd from my pre-existing build, everything works fine. The original build was imap-2002, Release notes date 28 October 2002 (IMAP4rev1 2002.332). The customized parameters from my Makefile are below. Aside from the addition of SSLKEYS, the makefiles for all versions are the same. There is a new version of the webmail client out and it's possible that the problem might clear up once I update that. Still, I was hoping that someone here might have an idea of what the problem might be.
