Re: Script admin problems
Attempt two: Using module IMAP::Admin from IMAP-Admin-1.4.3 The test gives me the following error: IMAP::Admin [ initialize ]: try NO Login failed: authentication failure Again getting me past this error should allow me to complete the task. IMAP::Admin has worked very well for me. Can you give an example of the code youre trying to run that isnt working for you? -matt
Re: Script admin problems
With the package IMAP-Admin-1.4.3
running test.pl as follows:
[root@mail121 IMAP-Admin-1.4.3]# perl test.pl
1..14
ok 1
Remaining tests require a connection an imap server
Please enter the server and the admin user and password at the prompts
Enter server: localhost
Enter login: adm
Enter password:
Test using SSL(y/n)? n
IMAP::Admin [ initialize ]: try NO Login failed: authentication failure
[root@mail121 IMAP-Admin-1.4.3]#
The following script is the simplest example:
$imap=IMAP::Admin-new('Server'='localhost','Login'='adm','Password'='xxx
xx');
$err=$imap-create($mbx);
print error: $err\n;
$err=$imap-{'Error'};
print error: $err\n;
$imap-close;
will produce:
[root@mail121 /home]# ./cyrushelper
error: 1
error: IMAP::Admin [ initialize ]: try NO Login failed: authentication
failure
Could the use of pam-mysql have anything to do
the authentication failure. The passwords in the db
are encrypted with mysql password function. I can
log in from a client without any problems.

I now need to setup automated scripts to create mailboxes, set quotas etc. I have tried three different approaches each of which ending without successes so I now pass it to the group. I should point out that cyradm works without problems. [SNIPPED] I would prefer to use one of the first two method with perl but will settle for tcl if I have no other choice. If there are any other approaches that may work I will give them a try. Someway of automating at least the mailbox creation is essential. You can use a tool called expect to automate things like this. Try this: [darron@xavier darron]$ autoexpect cyradm localhost autoexpect started, file is script.exp Please enter your password: localhost.localdomain lm INBOX INBOX.admin INBOX.logsINBOX.tech INBOX.SentINBOX.educ8r INBOX.mwj INBOX.test2 INBOX.Trash INBOX.linux INBOX.sutjav localhost.localdomain quit autoexpect done, file is script.exp Take a look at script.exp - it's a complete copy of everything you've done and can be modified to do whatever you want it to do. I've got an expect script that automatically creates the mailbox, sets permissions on it properly and sets a quota - it works great for us. -- Darron [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Script admin problems
Since IMAP::Admin requires the LOGIN auth method to be compiled into SASL,
that might be the problem. You need LOGIN auth for that.
The best check would be to telnet to the imap port as suggested by Jules.

How strange. if I remember correctly, the IMAP::Admin module does
everything through an IMAP connection using standard RFC IMAP
commands, just like cyradm does. So if you're using the same login and
password with cyradm as you're using with your perl script, and cyradm
works, the problem would have to be in your script or in IMAP::Admin.
hmmm. this module works fine for me... the only thing I can think of
is (pretty unlikely) if you've got a literal backslash or single quote
in the password, perl might screw up the password it's passing to the
IMAP::Admin module...
To confirm that there's nothing wrong with your Cyrus configuration,
and that cyradm isn't covering up or compensating for some error
message, you might try typing the stuff on the lines marked by 'YOU':
YOU: $ telnet localhost 143
Connected to {hostname}.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK {hostname} Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.15 server ready.
YOU: . login adm XX
. OK User logged in
YOU: . create user.testmailbox
. OK Completed
YOU: . setacl user.testmailbox adm lrswipcda
. OK Completed
YOU: . delete user.testmailbox
. OK Completed
YOU: . logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
. OK Completed
Connection closed by foreign host.

Maybe it's the authentication mechanism being selected incorrectly. Try cyradm localhost -u admin --auth MECH replacing MECH with the mechanism you use.
