[vchkpw] Authentication Problems
Hello I am having a difficult time with authentication and I
dont know what is missing.
What I have done it attempted to setup SMTP authentication.
Since this attempt I have not been able to POP without using
the complete email address as the account name.
I have pulled the SMTP auth and now I am just trying to run
QMAIL and Vpopmail and still cant POP correctly.
POP use to work now it does not for some reason.

Take a look at the vpasswd file, or the user table and see if the problematic users follow that pattern (blank cleartext password). I just checked the vckhpw.c code, and it should update the cleartext password when a user logs in.

Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems after upgrading Vpopmail
The CRAM-MD5 method of authentication requires a cleartext password for each user. Older accounts on your system could have been created before you had cleartext enabled, causing errors when the user tries to authenticate. Take a look at the vpasswd file, or the user table and see if the problematic users follow that pattern (blank cleartext password). The clients experiencing authentication problem do have clear passwds. They are stored in mysql and I'm able to access this information with ./vuserinfo as well as viewing the DB records. I've reset a number of them repeatedly. This seems to provide access, though for a limited time. Additionally, oddly the authentication errors are not recorded in the 'vlog' table in the vpopmail database. I'm able to track the majority of the errors using SquirrelMails' sql_squirrel_logger plugin. Regards, ron = Ron Dyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] webbtech.net =
[vchkpw] Authentication problems after upgrading Vpopmail
I've recently upgraded to vpopmail-5.4.9 and am having problems with authentication. Users are getting a error claiming the user or passwd is incorrect. Strangely, the error occurs only when logging in with IMAP like 'SquirrelMail' or even qmailadmin not with pop like 'outlook'. After resetting the passwd (to the existing one) with ./vpasswd, the problem is temporarily resolved. I've looked at the 'UPGRADE' file and noticed a patch: qmail-smtpd-auth-0.4.2 When I attempt to intall I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] netqmail-1.04]# ./install_auth.sh head: conf-qmail: No such file or directory ./find-systype.sh: ./find-systype.sh: No such file or directory Installing qmail-smtpd AUTH 057 (Build 2005024212941) at Sat Mar 5 12:28:54 EST 2005 Targeting file TARGETS ... TARGETS not found ! Can anyone shed some lite on this for me? I've included the original configure and configure for the upgrade below. I've even tried re-installing my previous version of vpopmail but still received the error.

Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Hi Neil, I am experiencing a strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + SquirrelMail. Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. Did you compile Courier-IMAP with --without-authdaemon? If not, try to do so. authdaemon isn't really compatible with vpopmail. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. I don't know wheter it's a vpopmail bug or a Courier-IMAP bug. Simply don't use authdaemon; it doesn't work. Jonas

Again the same thing and now neither of the first two users can log in anymore. If I reboot the server then everything returns to normal until I try to use more than one user again. I have checked all the logs and there is no indication of what is going on. There are a bunch of entries for successful LOGIN and LOGOUT and then all of a sudden a bunch of failures. I am wondering if maybe my server is locking a user to a PC IP address for some strange reason. I have tried checking the logs, restarting imap, restarting qmail and checking for strange entries in the config files. I'm stumped on this one. I've also duplicated this problem just by using the outlook clients and just by using the squirrelmail client so I don't think the problem rests with either of those two. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a know bug and is there a resolution? Thanks in advance, Neil
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Title: Message Hi Neil, I am running in to something similar and I think there may be a lock somewhere on the account. When my Outlook checks the account it works fine.. but when I try to login through SquirrelMail it gives me an invalid username or password. If I disable the account in my outlook and wait awhile then I am able to login to SquirrelMail without an issue. I am not sure what this is .. but for the most part it does not affect me as I am using squirrelmail for all the people that use my mail server that don't want to use a Mail client to check their email.

[vchkpw] Authentication Problems
When connecting to the server to attempt to collect mail, I am receiving an authorization failure. I have setup vpopmail to use mysql to store the domain and user info, and I am using vchkpw to authenticate the pwds and I am logging in using the username% [EMAIL PROTECTED] format. Is there a way to check the authentication using vchkpw directly?? Thanks Clint

Everything always helps. Clint
