Hi Cyrus community,

I am having a problem getting AUTHN/AUTHZ to work with a cyrus
priviledged user. It fails to authenticate. Using LOGIN it works
but that does not allow you to proxy. I have the account listed
in proxyservers:

imapd.conf-----
proxyservers: bigadmin
imapd.conf-----

Then with telnet:

1 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
+
base64{bigadmin\0bigadmin\0bigadminpassword}
1 NO authentication failure

2 LOGIN bigadmin bigadminpassword
2 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID LOGINDISABLED AUTH=PLAIN COMPRESS=DEFLATE ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE CATENATE CONDSTORE SCAN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED URLAUTH] User logged in

This works fine with a normal user:

1 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
+
base64{user\0user\0userpassword}
1  OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID LOGINDISABLED COMPRESS=DEFLATE ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE CATENATE CONDSTORE SCAN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED URLAUTH] Success (tls protection)


Does anyone have any ideas about how to debug this problem?

Thank you,
Ken
