Folks, I'm having trouble trying to build the above to use plain text password authentication on a Solaris 2.5.1 platform. I installed - BerkeleyDB v3.2.9 Cyrus SASL v1.5.24 (all non-required authentication disabled) IMSP v1.6a3 (--with-auth=unix) The IMSP configure seems to finish with an error of sorts. The last few lines are - creating config.h cat: cannot open ./config.h.in config.h is unchanged I think this was reported a month or so back by someone else but the build seems to complete OK anyway. Is this likely to be part of the problem? I can start up the IMSP daemon in stand-alone mode OK with SASL/IMSP setup as follows - SASL setup: linked /usr/local/lib/sasl ->/usr/lib/sasl create /usr/lib/sasl/Imsp.conf containing single line pwcheck_method: passwd also create copy as /usr/lib/sasl/Imspd.conf (in case this is the expected name of the file!) IMSP setup: create /var/imsp and /var/imsp/user (permissions?) create /var/imsp/options (permissions?) Telnetting into port 406 invokes the IMSP prompt string and a login attempt produces the following - * OK Cyrus IMSP version 1.6a3 ready 0 login thisuser ***** 0 NO generic failure A 'get common.*' command will list the common lines from the options file and the 'imsp.create.new.users N +' line is present. I've tried various combinations of imsp.sasl lines to no effect. If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong I would VERY pleased to hear from them.
