Hello, I have a problem with Cyrus IMAP SASL authentication.
When I try to login to create Cyrus IMAP mailboxes, I see the following: $ cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost IMAP Password: Login failed: generic failure at /usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119 cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with login as cyrus This message appears even when I enter incorrect password. Can I be missing some of the packages (I am running Ubuntu 9.04)? I use sasldb authentication mechanism for saslauthd. Here is an extract from my imapd.conf file: admins: cyrus imap_admins: cyrus sasl_mech_list: LOGIN sasl_minimum_layer: 1 sasl_maximum_layer: 256 sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd This is what I see in my /var/log/mail.log cyrus/imap[7257]: badlogin: localhost [::1] plaintext cyrus SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed If I try to telnet on imap port I have: Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK computer Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-14ubuntu3 server ready imap login cyrus password imap NO Login failed: generic failure An interesting thing is that I have already setup Postfix sasldb authentication on the same host and it works fine. Any advice is much apreciated! Thank you in advance! Regards, Evgeniy
