Package: postfix-tls
Version: 1.1.11.0-3
Severity: normal
I wrote this documentation to describe the passage of Postfix-tls from Woody to
Sarge.
By updating a mail server (non critical :-) ) from Woody to Sarge, I had a stop
of several hours of service, one could receive mails, but one could not any
more sent mails via SMTP AUTH.
The Sarge version of Postfix-tls uses version 2 of the SASL library.
The installation of Postfix-tls requires the package libsasl2.
But to function with SMTP AUTH support Postfix-tls requires the packages :
libsasl2-modules-plain
libsasl2-digestmd5-plain (optional)
sasl2-bin
The method of authentification is configured in the file :
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
with the following directive : sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
Saslauthd is the SASL authentication server use by Postfix to carry out the
authentication requests.
It is contained in the package sasl2-bin.
To configure saslauthd modify the file : /etc/default/saslauthd
START=yes
MECHANISMS=pam
Restart saslautd : /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart
The file /etc/pam.d/smtp contains :
auth required pam_unix_auth.so
account required pam_unix_acct.so
Although the use of PAM modules, should make it possible to use the files
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
I had create the file /etc/sasldb2 (with the command saslpasswd2) which
contains the whole of the couples login/password for the SMTP AUTH.
saslpasswd2 -c -f /etc/sasldb2 -u realm login
With the realm identical to the directive smtpd_sasl_local_domain of Postfix.
Regards.
