sieve authentication issue (SASL)

[Phil Haigh]

Hi,

 

I have a frustrating issue authenticating with sieveshell. This was all
working until yesterday, where an apt-get upgrade on the machine changed a
couple of things - amoung them, I think, the sasl libraries and some perl
stuff.

 

I can still successfully connect to imap using cyradm, and all users can
happily use imap and pop services on the server.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I can telnet localhost 2000 and see:

 

pluto:/var/log# telnet localhost 2000

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3.11"

"SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN"

"SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags
notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"

OK

 

Attempting to log in using sieveshell -u phil -u phil locahost gives this
message:

 

sieve[25752]: badlogin: localhost[127.0.0.1] LOGIN generic failure

 

I am using saslauthd started like this:

 

                /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a shadow

 

My cyrus.conf

                

                sieve         cmd="timsieved -C /etc/imapdlocal.conf"
listen="127.0.0.1:sieve" prefork=0

 

My imapdlocal.conf

Testsaslauthd returns ok:

                

pluto:/var/log# testsaslauthd -u phil -p password sieve localhost

Cheers

 

phil
