Bonjour. I am trying to setup SMTP AUTH with Postfix and SASL on Debian unstable.
So far I got these packages installed: postfix 2.0.13-1 postfix-tls 2.0.13-1 libsasl2 2.1.12-1 libsasl2-dev 2.1.12-1 libsasl2-modules 2.1.12-1 sasl2-bin 2.1.12-1 I want to authenticate users against the system's password-database. /etc/postfix/main.cf: [...] smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, check_relay_domains [...] /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf: pwcheck_method: pwcheck Connecting to the server via telnet shows up that authentication is enabled: 250-AUTH NTLM LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 250-AUTH=NTLM LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 I got a user 'test' with passwd 'test'; trying to authenticate via telnet: AUTH PLAIN dGVzdAB0ZXN0AHRlc3Q= 535 Error: authentication failed In mail.log: postfix/smtpd[15000]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unknown password verifier postfix/smtpd[15000]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed postfix/smtpd[15000]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Seems as SASL does not know shadow-method. When I use 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and start saslauthd, I get this error: postfix/smtpd[15135]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory postfix/smtpd[15135]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed postfix/smtpd[15135]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed This error seems to be related to the fact, that smtpd runs chrooted. But even when I let smtpd run 'normally', I get an error: postfix/smtpd[15269]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed postfix/smtpd[15269]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed And in auth.log: saslauthd[14098]: AUTHFAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] service=smtp realm=domain.de But saslausthd seems to be able to authenticate that user; from localhost: $ testsaslauthd -u test -p test -r domain.de -s smtp $ 0: OK "Success."
