authentication and/or sieve problem?

[Maria McKinley]

Greetings,

I am running cyrus/tls/ldap. The imaps connection is not working, but 
the imap and smtp connections are:

ella:/var/log# testsaslauthd -u "test" -p "xxx" -s smtp
0: OK "Success."
ella:/var/log# testsaslauthd -u "test" -p "xxx" -s imaps
0: NO "authentication failed"
ella:/var/log# testsaslauthd -u "test" -p "xxx" -s imap
0: OK "Success."

I can't figure out why this would be.

TLS seems to work just fine for smtp:

Oct 28 00:13:21 ella postfix/smtpd[5794]: initializing the server-side 
TLS engine
Oct 28 00:13:21 ella postfix/smtpd[5794]: connect from 
c-76-28-239-89.hsd1.wa.comcast.net[76.28.239.89]
Oct 28 00:13:21 ella postfix/smtpd[5794]: setting up TLS connection from 
c-76-28-239-89.hsd1.wa.comcast.net[76.28.239.89]
...

But I get tls errors regarding imaps:

Oct 26 06:36:35 ella cyrus/imaps[18356]: Fatal error: 
tls_start_servertls() failed

I'm not entirely sure how big of a deal this is, since we use ssl over 
imaps to check mail, but it does seem to be causing a problem with 
filters/sieve. When someone attempts to change filters using 
squirrelmail, the connection times out, and the logs fill with imaps tls 
errors.

Oct 28 00:37:45 ella cyrus/sieve[7080]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher 
AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication
Oct 28 00:37:48 ella cyrus/imaps[7082]: imaps TLS negotiation failed: 
[10.208.108.93]
Oct 28 00:37:48 ella cyrus/imaps[7082]: Fatal error: 
tls_start_servertls() failed

But that could be unrelated, since only that first line is the sieve.

Anybody have an idea what could be going on? In the meantime, I continue 
to google and check config files...

thanks,
