[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
Solved-Works I really hope this helps some people on here but I've found a solution that does NOT require uninstalling packages or installing anything that's not in the stock repos for precise 12.04 for use in saslauthd(cyrus), mysql, postfix scenario. The gist of the problem seems to be syntax changes and the fact that if used in postfix (with chroot environment), a missing link in /var/run to the chroot of /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd. If postfix is chrooted (and it probably is) /etc/default/saslauthd OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" (needed the -r option, that puts the name and domain together, short for realm, without that it will send the user as "george" not "geo...@example.org" /etc/pam.d/smtp auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=yourdbpassword host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=clear crypt=0 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=yourdbpassword host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=clear crypt=0 (this file needed the appropriate references to the database and table names and since I used clear passwords, I needed to change crypt=1 to crypt=0. (and the passwdcolumn from crypt to clear) I did this so the clear passwords would read all the password. Using crypt in the mysql table, it would only recognize the first 8 characters and ignore the rest. And here's where the real changes took place, in the syntax. /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf file need the changed syntax (alot) and relevant sql query info. NOTE: I did NOT need the "pam" mech_list option that I thought before. pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 log_level: 7 #Remove this line when done allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: sql sql_engine: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: mail sql_passwd: yourdbpasswd sql_database: maildb sql_select: select clear from users where id='%u@%r' and enabled = 1 (note the use of the field "clear", you probably want "crypt" if using flurdy's how-to. /etc/postfix/master.cf submission inet n - - - - smtpd # -o syslog_name=postfix/submission # -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject /etc/postfix/main.cf # SASL smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes # If your potential clients use Outlook Express or other older clients # this needs to be set to yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = no smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous # also add # Add permit_sasl_authenticated to you existing smtpd_sender_restrictions # Add permit_sasl_authenticated to you existing smtpd_recipient_restrictions Fixed the sasl path problem by writing a script as such to run at boot as I didn't want to try and figure out what the hell the deal was with the path, how it starts, what starts it, what names it, sasl is a pain in the ass! #!/bin/bash sleep 5 ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd /var/run/saslauthd /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart /etc/init.d/postfix restart That did it!!

After a few hours of trying different configurations, resisting to downgrade the packages, I finally succeeded to do a reconfiguration as mentioned above (as Dario) among others.

Well, this bug (or whatever you call this) is out for so long and the held back packages started to effect other ones. So, I decided to change my authentication method from "auxprop" to "rimap". I did this because, I couldn't risk changing from courier to devocot like mentioned in other posts. And since I got a working imap authentication, I asked, why not?

[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
I'd like to share my experience with this issue. I'm also following the Flurdy tutorial for setting up postfix (http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/), which used to work perfectly fine on my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. However on a fresh 12.04 (AMD64) installation with all recent upgrades I'm experiencing the issue described in this bug report. As was mentioned above, with the original setting of "sql_engine: mysql", mail.log reports "SASL PLAIN authentication failed: no mechanism available". So change this to: "sql_engine: sql" Also with "sql_passw: ", mail.log reports "SASL PLAIN authentication failed: generic failure". So change this to: "sql_passwd: " However I was still getting a "SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure" in mail.log and a "PAM (smtp) illegal module type: host=127.0.0.1" in auth.log. I found out that when I copy-pasted the contents of /etc/pam.d/smtp from the Flurdy site I had accidentally created 2 lines per entry in /etc/pam.d/smtp: (2 lines per entry): auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=aPASSWORD host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=crypt crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=aPASSWORD host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=crypt crypt=1 Which I corrected to: (1 line per entry): auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=aPASSWORD host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=crypt crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=aPASSWORD host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=crypt crypt=1 After restarting /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart and /etc/init.d/postfix restart everything worked as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cyrus-sasl2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
Hi Mark Well, I didn't mean that personally, hope it didn't come across the wrong way.. sorry! The main problem is that this bug is about postfix -> sasl -> mysql, bringing ldap into it makes this one harder to solve. Anyway - you didn't post your configuration file - did you fiddle around with the config file? It really seems that the newer sasl versions just require a different configuration. Your error > Jun 25 15:26:59 slapd[6358]: slap_sasl_init: auxprop add plugin failed suggests that it can't find the auxprop plugin - maybe the name of the plugin also changed (as "mysql" changed to "sql") or it requires new parameters? As I see the name should be "ldapdb", you can review the parameters here: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.25/options.php And if it's really broken (confirmed), you should open a new bug which is purely postfix -> sasl -> ldap related. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cyrus-sasl2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Dario, thanks for classifying my comment as "not helpful at all". Let me reiterate. I'm using Postfix to authenticate via saslauthd against LDAP (not MySQL) and thus I can't apply the mentioned configuration fix. Since the upgrade I was getting the same error: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available. The only fix I've found to be working was downgrading SASL as mentioned above.

[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
So I tried to verify the upgrade consequences - I cloned my physical server into a VM and made the distribution upgrade from Oneiric to Precise. First let me state (and this has nothing to do with this bug *g), that the upgrade experience as really a pain in the a*s! Incredible.. AppArmor gets re-enabled which breaks a lot of stuff, you get prompted for a MySQL password change 5 times, Apache doesn't work anymore (have to figure that out) and so on - *major* annoyances to say it friendly ;-( Conclusion -- Anyway.. my conclusion is positive: The configuration I provided in comment #34 (see there) still works with the newest packages in Precise without any relinking and/or downgrading! At least in my case.. The "generic error" It didn't work out of the box - I DID GET the "generic error" message directly after the upgrading. Turns out, that it was an error with MySQL. MySQL gets upgraded to 5.5.. It seems that the database variable "open_files_limit" comes with a default value of 1024 after the upgrade. This is really low and reached already if you have some databases in my case. So I inserted one line in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which sets the limit really high to test it: [mysqld] open_files_limit = 99 Restart mysql at this point.. After that, I finally could send mails through the SMTP with working sasl auth! So the "generic error" in my case resulted from the fact that mysql did abort the auth query request with an error message because it didn't have any resources left.. (this error: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/not-enough-file-handles.html) Next step? -- Could please someone who upgraded to Precise and applied the config from comment #34 and still have the "generic error" check this mysql setting in their setup and verify that they really applied everything correctly?

[Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
The discussion here is getting cluttered and messy - we have many different situations which may or may not work which makes it hard to finally solve this one. So far we have - People which solve only with config changes - People which get it to work which downgrading / maybe relinking - People bringing up sasl -> slapd problems (not postfix related anymore) - People complaining about this bug in general (like Comment #59 which is not helping at all) The most important point is that it should be safe to upgrade an Ubuntu Server. If you upgrade, such a delicate component as smtp auth should not be broken. And I think it's only a configuration issue. We have to find & verify valid configurations for people doing a fresh install and an upgrade. Downgrading cannot be an option and should not be necessary (at least not for postfix -> sasl). I think the approach in comment #44 to verify it in a VM is the most promising one. I'll try to port my physical server to a VM and upgrading it to Precise during the next week, try to find a working config with the newest packages and post it here.

Hi. I've very new to Ubuntu but came across this exact same problem when setting up a mail server. I've been following the Flurdy tutorial line by line from a fresh server install.

Note the changes to the 3 lines 'mech_list', 'auxprop_plugin' changed to 'sql' rather than 'mysql' and 'sql_passw' changed to 'sql_passwd'. Before I changed this last one I was getting 'generic error'. After the above changes I restarted both post fix and saslauthd. It then worked fine.

Re: [Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
Close but not quite. Originally BEFORE I made the config changes, I had to downgrade sasl specifically and relink a couple libraries and I was able to get it working (but every time I would upgrade apt packages, it would manage to break again, after telling it not put those packages on hold). I still have the 3x deb packages for the outdated sasl / mysql that works.

Are you using ldap instead of sql for your mail authentications?

Re: [Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
I'm pretty sure this actually no longer classifies as a bug, and is really an issue in documentation of upgrades / lack of reverse support.

But I wonder if this was solved in case we've used any of the pay services from Ubuntu. I'm using my server for my small bussines and thus is vital for me. Now i'm installing a second box server for redundancy and test, and this the doubt arrises; Should I install a LTS Ubuntu(is better in terms of buggs?) or definitely move to Debian or others? Good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cyrus-sasl2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
I have my Ubuntu server setup with Webmin. (It is a web interface to manage a server) in that, I have it set to notify me of updates, but not to do any updating. After I did the manual downgrade of saslauthd, weeks ago, I have not had a problem of it auto updating everyweek. I just go in with Webmin, select everyting but sasl*, and install patches. No problems with it breaking each week, but it is a pain to have to manualy monitor it so it doesn't get the current (but messed up) sasl.

How is the progress on this, is anyone picking it up and fixing it?

Re: [Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
This was definitely not the problem for me. I used aptitude and put the sasl packages on hold, but it somehow keeps breaking through other, what I thought were unrelated packages and I have 'make install' on the compiled source, re dpkg -i the .23 debs, and then make uninstall the compiled source. That's the only thing that fixes my system, and it's rather frustrating to have it keep breaking, over and over due to this bug...

Re: [Bug 875440] Re: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql
potatochip: you first installed the 2.1.23 (which is the version that WORKS) and then you overwrote some of the files and links by compiling and installing 2.1.25 (the output of your saslauthd shows 2.1.25 is what's installed). Go back into your 2.1.25 source, make uninstall, then run dpkg -i --force-all *.deb again with the download files. Then restart saslauthd and postfix and you should be up.
