Hi, I am having some authentication issues using saslauthd -a pam. The errors that show up in the message log when a login attempt is made are
imapd[13427]: [ID 702911 auth.error] auxpropfunc error -4 imapd[13427]: [ID 702911 auth.debug] _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sasldb saslauthd[12854]: [ID 308033 auth.debug] pam_acct_mgmt: error Permission denied saslauthd[12854]: [ID 308033 auth.debug] pam_acct_mgmt: error No account present for user saslauthd[12854]: [ID 226429 auth.debug] DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_acct_mgmt failed: Permission denied saslauthd[12854]: [ID 982738 auth.warning] AUTHFAIL: user=foo service=imap realm= [PAM acct error] We use a couple of in house PAM modules for authentication. On the same server that this cyrus installation is built, they work fine using a test application. We did a truss of saslauthd and noticed once it had completed the in house authentication it seemed to attempt authentication using the pam_unix.so.1. In fact we can authenticate using with the user cyrus successfully, but other local users can not since they fail on the in house PAM module (not that we want the other local users to authenticate). The imapd.conf we are using contains admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_passwd_check: saslauthd allowplaintext: yes Ths Cyrus.conf for sasl2 contains pwcheck_method: saslauthd We are kind of lost on this end at the moment and any insight someone might provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help. Russ
