[Web-cyradm] IMAP Error: . NO Login failed: authentication failure

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello.

I installed latest CVS snapshot on a Gentoo Linux system
with PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.19, cyrus-sasl-2.1.21 and
Cyrus IMAPD 2.2.12. I installed the CVS snapshot and not
0.5.4, as 0.5.4 had some SQL problems.

After installing all the software, I logged on to web-cyradm,
created a domain and selected that domain, so that I could
add accounts. But this didn't work :( After I selected the
domain, I was redirected to /web-cyradm-HEAD/index.php?action=accounts&domain=foo.bar.com
and got the following error message:

	IMAP Error: . NO Login failed: authentication failure

What does this indicate? With what user is web-cyradm trying
to login?


Hm, in the syslog I just found:

Apr 27 22:16:08 hetzner imap[21598]: accepted connection
Apr 27 22:16:08 hetzner saslauthd[25303]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: Permission denied
Apr 27 22:16:08 hetzner saslauthd[25303]: do_auth         : auth failure: [user=cyrus] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
Apr 27 22:16:08 hetzner imap[21598]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] plaintext cyrus SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed

What do I make out of this?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
