Hi Igor
I've a problem with my new clean, cyrus installation. I can't
login with my cyradm admin account. The account information is
stored in my ldap database. The sasldb2 is empty. I don't use it.
Can you give me some advice?
For cyradm I use this command:
cyradm --user nmeth2vdiysttboz --server localhost --auth plain
Password:
IMAP Password: <i use the ldap password here>
Error message:
Invalid user at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/mach/Cyrus/
IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with plain as nmeth2vdiysttboz

^^^^^^^^^^
This error is self explanatory.
I added this options below to my imapd.conf. But I still get the same
error message. I don't want to use any encryption. The password is
stored as md5 hash in the ldap database. As far as I know this limits
my ability for secure authentication anyway.

pts/ldap configuration problem. Double check ldap_* params in
imapd.conf.
Is there a reason you are using pts authorization module?
I thought this is the best way for my enviroment. Every User
information is stored in my ldap server. uid, maildrop, password ....
I don't like pam_ldap. My older servers are using auth_unix but I've
modified this for ldap. Since my patch no longer works, I decided to
use a direct ldap auth version. But I can try other auth mech, if
this is possible with ldap.

Do you need ldap_password here?
No. There is no password protection.
Can you debug slapd?
I will do that. But first I will fix my "sasl mech problem"
Saslauth runs with -a ldap
slapd runs with -h "ldapi:///var/run/openldap/ldapi/ ldap://
127.0.0.1 "
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will not work, although saslauthd is working fine with you
current configuration. (Use ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi/
Thank you.
Regards,
Thomas
