Hello.
Not sure how busy this list is, if I’m asking in the right place but I’m a bit
stuck. Grateful for any help Relatively new to Linux so excuse me if I’ve
missed something obvious.
Trying to get postfix and cyrus working for IMAP on a Ubuntu based system. I’ve
read tutorials. Just a test system at the moment. Intend using system accounts
for authentication. What I’ve done:
Postfix installed, working for local delivery to system account Maildirs.
installed cyrus2 packages.
Used saslpasswd2 and created cyrus.
created a system account cyrus with passwd.
Added users cyrus and test as admins in imapd.conf
allow plaintext. yes
sasl_mec_list PLAIN
Have created smtpd.conf under /etc/postfix/sasl and set to use saslauthd.
check_method saslauthd
mech_list PLAIN
enabled imap and pop3 in cyrus.conf
When I go to add a imap mailbox with the cyrus admin program, cyradm. I attempt
logging in as user cyrus.
cyradm –user cyrus localhost
enter password
And get.
Login failed: No mechanism available at /urs/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/admin.pm line
119
cyradm: Can not authenticate to server as cyrus.
If I then do.
tail /var/log/mail.log
says:
cyrus/imap(3430): badlogin: localhost(::1) plaintext cyrus sasl(-4): no
mechaism available: checkpass failed.
This happens whether I use localhost in cyradm login, or the FQDN of the host.
So what do I do? Any help / pointers gratefully received.
Opologies for long message.
Chris Turner
