Hello, I'm having trouble with authentication on Debian 6.
I've set up Postfix to use Cryus-SASL to authenticate against LDAP. The SASL configuration is a success: sudo testsaslauthd -u "t...@example.com" -p "notRightPassword" 0: NO "authentication failed" sudo testsaslauthd -u "t...@example.com" -p "testtest123" 0: OK "Success." However, a telnet attempt does not work: telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 ComputerName ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU) auth plain PDAwPnRlc3RAZXhhbXBsZS5jb208MDA+dGVzdHRlc3QxMjM= 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure When I try the above telnet authentication, I get the following errors in my syslog: postfix/smtpd[31075]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] postfix/smtpd[31075]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory postfix/smtpd[31075]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory postfix/smtpd[31075]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed postfix/smtpd[31075]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL plain authentication failed: authentication failure My understanding is that the Berkeley warning is not relevant, since I'm using LDAP. Please correct me if that is not the case. I also get this error in my auth log: postfix/smtpd[31208]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb I've checked that cryus is supported: sudo postconf -a cyrus dovecot sudo postconf -A cyrus Without further log errors, I'm a bit confused. What can I do to get more information about this error? Where should I look? I can provide full configuration files if desired. Thanks for your time!
