Re: more authentication problems

[John Leeuw]

I have a similiar config and it is working, here is what I have:

For Cyurs-SASL 2.1.2
# ./configure --disable-anon --disable-cram --disable-digest --with-gssapi=no --with-des=no --disable-otp --with-opie=no --disable-srp --disable-krb4 --enable-plain --enable-login --with-saslauthd

For Cyrus-IMAP 2.1.3:
# ./configure --with-auth=unix --with-krb4=no --with-sasl=/usr/lib/sasl2

For /etc/imapd.conf:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
allowanonymouslogin: no
duplicatesuppression: yes
sieveuserhomedir: false
sievedir: /var/sieve
sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

To start the SASLAUTHD daemon I use the following:
/usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a shadow

Hope this helps.
