Auth fails partly for imap
Hi all,
What have I done wrong when I can log into my IMAP account
(cyrus-imapd-2.0.17) via Mozilla and web mail (Squirrelmail) but Pine
doesn't allow me to log in? I use PAM with MySQL authentication. This is
what I get to my log file (first when I log into with Mozilla from a
remote client, then Pine locally):
-- 8 --
Jul 27 18:04:27 silakka imapd[5665]: login: my.computer.foo[x.x.x.x]
kypeli plaintext
Jul 27 18:05:09 silakka imapd[5685]: badlogin:
localhost.computer.foo[127.0.0.1] CRAM-MD5 authentication failure [no
secret in database]
-- 8 --
Why does Pine try to use CRAM-MD5 but Mozilla doesn't? I have
{localhost:143}inbox in Pine in inbox-path.
Running FreeBSD 4.8.

Johan Paul

Re: Auth fails partly for imap
Historically, Netscape has not supported encrypted (even if it is weak)
authentication for imap and pop3. Slowly, they add standards as people
complain. I'm sure the mozilla project is no different. I know for a
fact that early builds of mozilla did not support cram md5.
Basically, webmail and mozilla are sending clear text authentication.
Pine is a bit smarter and uses cram md5. Look through the pine
preferences and see if you can downgrade it to clear text. If not,
there is probably a compile option to use cleartext. (thats how they
do it in imapd at least)

Hi,
We use plaintext over SSL. For pine to work we add the following line
in the pine.conf
disable-these-authenticators=CRAM-MD5
Hope that helps. Use with care over insecure connections.
Andrew.

Hi!
That helped! Now I can log into my IMAP account even with Pine. I will
use SSL to secure the authentication though.
Oddly though even the login from Pine worked after the initial
installation and configuration of FreeBSD and all other applications.
Now I moved the server from an internal network to the Internet and if I
can remember correctly Pine failed after this move. Any ideas why the
change of IP (and hostname) would cause this kind of behaviour? Have I
missed some setting somewhere with PAM or something?
I have this in my /var/log/messages and it from the time the server was
on the internal net:
Jul 25 18:39:50 silakka imapd[5956]: login:
localhost.milkyway[127.0.0.1] kypeli CRAM-MD5 User logged in
This must be from Pine since Mozilla and webmail use plain text. Now I
am even more confused :)
Best regards,
Johan Paul
Andrew.
