login problem

[Arturo Mardones]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer!!, I follow that howto but in imapd.conf I've
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd and in imap file have two lines
additional:

auth sufficient pam_unix_auth.so

account  sufficient       pam_unix_acct.so

when make this changes... in messages log throw me this error:

unable to open Berkeley db 
> /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied

then I make chown cyrus:mail /etc/sasldb2 

and now throw me in messages and imap log :

badlogin: [192.168.2.24] plaintext user.domain.cl SASL(-13): user not
found: checkpass failed


but whit this I use Berkeley db, and I want use the users created in
mysql with webcyradm.

Thanks for your help,


Arturo.

yes, there is a way (using pam): use the module pam_mysql (google knows
where to find it ;-)

set in /etc/imapd.conf:

imapsasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

start:
saslauthd -a pam

and configure pam_mysql the way you want to use it, eg in
/etc/pam.d/imap

#%PAM-1.0
auth     sufficient     pam_mysql.so    user=username passwd=mysecret
host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username
passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg
logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
account  required       pam_mysql.so    user=username passwd=mysecret
host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username
passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg
logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host

I would recommend to read the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradmin-Howto; i've
taken my configuration from there (and im using SuSE8.2, so the paths
are takem from there)
