Hi,

Hello all:

I created an account with upper case character on it (e.g. 4356Z). After creation, I tried to login using that account but the authentication failed. Then, I found out the message as shown below.

saslauthd[3083]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=4356z] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

The upper case character "Z" in the username was converted to lower case and that was the reason why the authentication failed. My questions are:

1) Why the PAM auth received the username in lower case ("Alpha") character on it, since the username was submitted with an upper case "Z" value?.

#cyradm --user 4356Z localhost

2) I need to keep the upper case character format in the username. How do I specify or configure the system to accept a case sensitive username?

Try:

to edit xour imapd.conf:

"# Forcing recipient user to lowercase
# Cyrus 2.2 is case-sensitive.  If all your mail users are in lowercase, it is
# probably a very good idea to set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to true.  This is set by
# default, per RFC2821. This was not set by default in debian versions up to
# and including 2.2.12-4.

lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes"

Set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to : no

Best Regards,

BB

Thanks,

John
