Hi all, Is it possible to use a krb5 style admin instance with cyradm? It's not working for me. I've been testing a cyrus imapd installation using SASL GSSAPI authentication. Aside from the problem with the above, everything is working quite nicely, it's really great software! I'm guessing the problem is with the '/' character, i.e. 'benp/admin'. It doesn't seem to be shell related, since I've tried a dozen different quoting and escaping methods ('benp/admin', "benp/admin", benp\/admin, etc...). The man page for imapd.conf states: admins: <none> The list of userids with administrative rights. Separate each userid with a space. Sites using Kerberos authentication may use separate "admin" instances. Currently the 'admins' line of my imapd.conf file looks like: admins: benpadmin 'benp/admin' I've resorted to creating an additional "benpadmin" principle... (with which I'm able to GSSAPI authenticate using cyradm). The error logged by imapd when I attempt to use cyradm with benp/admin is: Jun 7 15:31:45 imogen imapd[4477]: badlogin: XXXX.reed.edu[XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX] GSSAPI authentication failure [bad userid authenticated] cyradm fails with this error: /usr/local/bin/cyradm --user 'benp/admin' --auth GSSAPI XXXX.reed.edu cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with GSSAPI as benp/admin [ BTW I don't have any problems getting a kerberos *ticket* for the benp/admin instance ] The server is an x86 Red Hat Linux 7.1 system and we're running cyrus-imapd-2.0.12 and cyrus-sasl-1.5.24 both built from source. I'm somewhat new to being a krb5 administrator (so the problem may not be related to cyrus), but I haven't had any other problems with this 'benp/admin' instance. Any thoughts?
