Beware, passwords are stored in cleartext in your sql backend.
Thanks, Pascal, for pointing out this config option. (I need to add the
appropriate LDAP schema before I can try out your other suggestion.)
I turned on the auxiliary accounts and was able to create one, but ended up
hanging sogod's worker thread repeatedly.
Hmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with getting the protocol wrong,
like I did previously with ldap vs. ldaps with a similar symptom. If I
change to "SSL" from "TLS", amazing, the alternate account folders appear
and I can use it normally!
So what's going wrong with TLS? In some other mailers it's interpreted as
not just selection of ciphers, but SSL means fall back to unencrypted if
you can't set it up, while TLS means mandatory, which is what I want.
Does anyone know what SSL vs. TLS really means in SOGo?
To be specific, in Preferences -
IMAP Accounts - j...@math.ucla.edu (the name of the account), I set:
Server Name: nasturtium.math.ucla.edu Port: 993
Encryption: TLS (later changed to SSL)
User Name: jimc
Password: ......... (I initially tried an empty PW without success)
Full Name: Jim Carter
Email: j...@math.ucla.edu (local realm would be cft.ca.us)
Signature: (none)
Return receipt: Never.
When I hit Save+Close it is saved, and produces a "get mail" event,
whereupon these events happen (every time I try it):
In sogo.log: <br>localhost - - [01/Mar/2011:21:22:46 GMT] "POST
/SOGo/so/jimc/Mail/0/mailboxes HTTP/1.1" 200 170/0 0.081 - - 0
(client gets messages from primary mail server; there aren't any
(correct), but the folders are shown. Nothing more is logged.)
The "in process" circle circulates, then gives up after about 30 secs.
Hit Preferences; nothing is logged, and the window eventually shows 502
proxy error, timeout reading from remote server. This can be rectified
by restarting sogod, or the watchdog will restart the worker thread
after 10 minutes.
After 3 minutes maillog on the remote IMAP server says: Mar 1 21:25:46
nasturtium dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth
attempts): rip=71.107.56.108, lip=128.97.19.118, TLS handshaking
(proving that sogod did connect to the server, which should have
offered STARTTLS and nothing more.)
