There is quite of bit of configuration documentation in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-imapd-*/. Start by opening a browser on index.html in that directory. I'm assuming you have the following line in /etc/imapd.conf: sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd The sasl_pwcheck_method says how authentication will be done, by default it is set to saslauthd. saslauthd is a system service (daemon) if its not running authentication will not work. To start the saslauthd service: /sbin/service saslauthd start to have it start everytime the box is booted: /sbin/chkconfig saslauthd on Note, you will have to configure saslauthd to match your authentication method, this is specified in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd, by default it is set to "shadow", which is your shadow password file. saslauth is documented in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl*, you can use a variety of authentication methods, PAM is also popular and will then perfectly reflect how any user is authtenticated on your system. If these suggestions work for you then please close this bug report. |
