when I run cyradm authentication failures and when I look in the log, I find:
May 1 15:15:22 mail imapd[29838]: unknown password verifier saslauthd
May 1 15:15:22 mail imapd[29838]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
plaintext root SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed
May 1 15:18:09 mail perl: No worthy mechs found
so I test using imtest and I get:
[cyrus@mail cyrus]$ imtest -m login -p imap localhost

May 1 15:33:47 mail imapd[29876]: unknown password verifier saslauthd
May 1 15:33:47 mail imapd[29876]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
plaintext cyrus SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed
and I tested saslauthd which works OK (as you'd expect)
[root@mail saslauthd]# ./testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p <no peeking>
OK "Success."
and I compiled IMAP with:
./configure --with-auth=unix --without-gssapi --with-sasl=/usr/local/sasl
--disable-sample --disable-krb4 --with-saslauthd --enable-plain --enable-login
and sasl2 with
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sasl --disable-krb4 --without-gssapi -with-auth=unix
--with-pwcheck --with-saslauthd
my imapd.conf is:
configdirectory: /var/spool/imap-config
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: root cyrus
srvtab:/var/spool/imap-config/srvtab
allowplaintext: yes
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: plain
I'm really at a loss here. According to all the documentation I have read and
the help I've gotten on the mailing list it should be working. But it's
not and I don't know why. I've been staring at this stuff for so long that
if there is a typo, I'm not seeing it.
