Failure making cyrus-imapd-3.0.5 on CentOS 7

[David J. Weller-Fahy]

Greetings again,

I've made it a bit further in my attempt to install cyrus-imapd, but am
getting failures when executing `make`.  The failure is shown below.

#v+

I execute the following commands.  Some notes: I originally did not use
the `autoreconf -f -i -s`, but when the `make` failed I thought I'd try
generating the make files.

#v+

autoreconf -f -i -s
./configure --prefix=/opt/cyrus-imapd --enable-http --enable-calalarmd
make

I've been searching to see if anyone else is having the same problems,
but I've come up empty.  Any suggestions as to what to try next, or what
information I could provide that would be useful in making such
suggestions, would be appreciated!

Regards,

Re: Synchro for migration

[Michael Menge]

Quoting Albert Shih :



It seems like the following imapsync options allow you to use proxy
authentication

--authmech1 --authmech2
--authuser1 --authuser2
--proxyauth1 --proxyauth2


I'm not sure to understand how proxyauth works. I google it and find lots
of doc about...proxy imap.

Currently I need to authenticate my user against a LDAP(openldap),  
so I configure

saslauthd with ldap and works perfectly.

So one of my solution is to have a getpwent (local passwd) with real login
and fake password. And after the migration switch to ldap auth.



This will work but it is not necessary.

imapsync --host1 oldserver.yourdomain --port1 143 --authmech1 PLAIN  
--proxyauth1
 --authuser1 DovecotAdmin --user1 UserYouWantToMigrate  
--password1 DovecotAdminPW
 --host2 newserver.yourdomain --port1 143 --authmech2 PLAIN  
--proxyauth2
 --authuser2 CyrusAdmin   --user2 UserYouWantToMigrate  
--password2 CyrusAdminPW


Depending on your setup you will need other settings as well, and you  
may want to use the

passfile options so that the adminpassword is not shown in the process list

I did several migrations with imapsync in the past and it worked quite well.

Usually I use a simple script like the one I've attached.

As authuser you have to use an account with cyrus admin rights
(listed in /etc/imapd.conf). You have to know their passwords, of course.
My script expects the admin users passwords in plain text in the files
"passfile1.txt" and "passfile2.txt"

The script also expects a list of IMAP accountnames as argument.

You then call the script like this:

./doit.sh accounts


You can use the script as an example, but you have to check the options
and adapt them for your need! Use the "--dry" option first!

HTH

Ok. That's also my guessing.
