Hello all:
I created an account with upper case character on it (e.g. 4356Z). After
creation, I tried to login using that account but the authentication failed.
Then, I found out the message as shown below.
saslauthd[3083]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=4356z] [service=imap]
[realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
The upper case character "Z" in the username was converted to lower case and
that was the reason why the authentication failed. My questions are:
1) Why the PAM auth received the username in lower case ("Alpha") character
on it, since the username was submitted with an upper case "Z" value?.
#cyradm --user 4356Z localhost
2) I need to keep the upper case character format in the username. How do I
specify or configure the system to accept a case sensitive username?
Thanks,
John
