Hi, I'm setting up a mail server with postfix and dovecot. For SMTP, I want to use saslauthd with a MySQL backend for which I installed the pam_mysql library, I'm trying to configure it but there's no luck.
My table schema (users) has 3 columns: e-mail, password, quota My /etc/pam.d/smtp configuration is: auth required pam_mysql.so user=postfix passwd=... host=127.0.0.1 db=postfix table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=2 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=postfix passwd=... host=127.0.0.1 db=postfix table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=2 However, saslauthd fails on authentication: Apr 17 21:20:48 X saslauthd[12714]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Apr 17 21:20:48 X saslauthd[12714]: : auth failure: [user=mike] [service=smtp] [realm=domain.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM aut h error] I can see that the problem relies on saslauthd using "mike" as the username instead of "m...@domain.com", which is the actual record in the database for the "email" column. Is there a way to tell saslauthd to use the full username (including domain) for the MySQL lookup? My postfix configuration is like this: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous My saslauthd configuration is like this: START=yes DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon" NAME="saslauthd" MECHANISMS="pam" MECH_OPTIONS="" THREADS=5 OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" I'd be very grateful if someone could shed some light on it. Thanks.
