Hi everybody.
I have a question. I have decided to use Cyrus IMAP system a few days
ago, so I am a beginner of Cyrus. I encountered an error at first
step. My headache is the messages on console when inputing 'imtest'
command.
S: A01 NO authentication failure
Authentication failed. generic failure
I tried to use sasldb method and this must be easiest way to
authenticate user. Please give me a help.
[ ENVIRONMENT ]
Distribution : RedHat7.1 (Japanese version)
Library : cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-17 (distribution included)
Imapd : cyrus-imapd-2.0.16 (http://rmrpms.tripod.com/cyrus-imapd/)
[ PROCESS ]
1. I made some rpm packages by 'rpm -ba' command. then installed these
rpm file into system.
# rpm -ihv cyrus-imapd-2.0.16-1rm.i386.rpm
# rpm -ihv cyrus-imapd-doc-2.9.16-1rm.i386.rpm
# rpm -ihv cyrus-imapd-utils-2.0.16-1rm.i386.rpm
2. I subscribed a user to /etc/sasldb database.
[root@imap root]# saslpasswd cyrususer
Password: ********* <-- input 'cyrususer'
Again (for verification): ********* <-- input 'cyrususer'
3. I could see user registration was seceeded.
[root@imap root]# sasldblistusers
user: cyrususer realm: imap.testdomain.test mech: DIGEST-MD5
user: cyrususer realm: imap.testdomain.test mech: PLAIN
user: cyrususer realm: imap.testdomain.test mech: CRAM-MD5
4. I started the master daemon.
[root@imap root]# /usr/cyrus/bin/master &
5. I checked that imap system works correctly by imtest command. But I
encounter authintication failure. I am sure the password I input is
correct,I tried again and again.
[root@imap root]# imtest -p imap -u cyrususer localhost
