IMAPD "Authentication failed. generic failure"

[J.J. Day]

Hi list,

I am attempting to install cyrus-imapd-2.3.11 and cyrus-sasl-2.1.22 from the ports library on FreeBSD 6.3. I am using the CMU document at http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install.html (and the contents links) as an install guide.

Perl 5.8.8 and BDB 4.6 were installed prior to starting the install of the Cyrus ports. The BDB option was selected for both packages. For the imapd install, AUTH OTP was de-selected. Both DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5 were selected. (I would like to use the simplest login method possible.) The make & install run and complete properly for both packages.

Everything appears proper until I run cyradm.

I can run saslpasswd2, sasldbuserslist2, telnet to imapd, etc. But when I run imtest to test the login, in the "S" line, I get the notice "LOGINDISABLED" rather than a list of accepted authentication methods and am unable to log into imap regardless of the sasl pwcheck method or mech list in imapd.conf.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

J.J.
