Hi Nicolas,


Whether you meant;

sasl_pwcheck_method:

on /etc/imapd.conf ???


It was
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

and worked previously without problem.


Then I changed it to;
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop


Still failed unable to login cyradm as cyrus


and then again changed it to;
sasl_pwcheck_method: pwcheck


$ sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 restart
Stopping Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmaster.
Waiting for complete shutdown....
Starting Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmaster.


$ cyradm -user cyrus --auth plain localhost
Password: 
IMAP Password: 
              Login failed: no mechanism available at
/usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with plain as cyrus


line 117    }	
line 118     my $rc = $self->{cyrus}->authenticate(@_);
line 119    if($rc && $self->{support_referrals}) {


changed it back to;
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd


On running;
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 stop
Stopping Cyrus IMAPd: .


$ sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 start
Starting Cyrus IMAPd: /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2: line 153: !check_status:

line 152	else
line 153           if !check_status ; then
line 154		echo "(failed)."
line 155		exit 1
