Dear all,
I noticed that incoming users were attempting to authenicate using
several methods like pam sql. Eventually, they logged in.
Is there a way for dovecot to only query a mysql backup for users, and
skip the other methods?
Examples from logs (via Roundcube webmail in this case, but the same
messages appear with port 993)
Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: auth-worker(default):
pam(a...@bb.co.uk,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication
failure (password mismatch?)
Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: auth(default):
passwd(a...@bb.co.uk,127.0.0.1): unknown user
Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<a...@bb.co.uk>,
method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
As shown above, the user uses pam, passwd and then finally the user
account fetched from mysql.
The distribution is Debian Squeeze.
Regards, s
