I think 'virtdomains:' and 'defaultdomain:' are broken...

[Bruce Hellstrom]

Hi Adi,

After you completed the test for Scenario 1, did you remove all the mailbox
folders used by Cyrus Imap before changing the imapd.conf and trying the 2nd
scenario?  The reason I ask, is because in the first scenario, you had no
default domain, that would cause Cyrus to create the mailbox for fred in a
different location than in the 2nd scenario.  To do the two scenarios, I would
think you have to follow these steps:

1) Setup the imapd.conf for the first scenario.
2) Go into cyradm and create the mailbox for fred at example.com
3) Run your test.
4) Go into cyradm again and remove the mailbox for fred at example.com
5) Setup the imapd.conf for the 2nd scenario and restart Cyrus.
6) Go into cyradm and create the mailbox for fred or fred at example.com (doesn't
matter to Cyrus when you are using the default domain).
7) Try to login as just "fred".

In the above steps, the mailbox for fred will actually be created in a different
place in the cyrus mail folder hierarchy based on the scenario you are testing.

Ok, this is weird. I finally have things working alright on my
Debian/Sarge box. The only thing I built from source is cyrus-imapd-2.2.8,
everything else are Debian packages. I am using pam-mysql and saslauthd
(with -r) to authenticate users.

Scenario 1:

  My imapd.conf has virtdomains configured but no default domain. I can
  authenticate fine as 'fred at example.com' but 'fred' alone fails. Just as
  expected and everything is fine.

  My sql log shows that 'fred at example.com' and 'fred' are used as
  usernames correctly when each respective name attempts login. Again,
  exactly as I would have expected.

Scenario 2:

  My imapd.conf has virtdomains configured and the defaultdomain is set to
  example.com. I cannot authenticate as 'fred at example.com' nor can I
  authenticate as 'fred'.

  My sql log shows that 'fred' is used for both attempts. I would have
  expected that 'fred at example.com' would have been used.

  My maillog on the other hand shows this when I try to login as user
  'fred at example.com', for some reason it is not taking the domain along.

    Oct 22 21:42:04 yoda imapd/imap[20228]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain
[127.0.0.1] plaintext fred SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed

  Even though my login with 'fred' doesn't succeed either, there is no log
  entry from imap that a login attempt happened.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Adi
