Vincent, I have rh7 and exactly the same situation -- pam_mysql, mysql and web interface for user creation, which inserts necessary records to mysql tables upon user creation.
As for pam_mysql -- the tricky part here may be that you have unneeded line break in end of /etc/pam.d/imap file (I was fighting this for a couple of days :) Also, what format do you use in /etc/pam.d/imap ? I have auth optional ...(params for pammysql)... account required ...(same params for pammysql)... and worked just fine. Did you check /var/log/messages file? also, i'd recommend #define DEBUG in pam_mysql.c so you can see whats going on.

This is great. I have been banging my head against the wall here. Let me tell you what I want to do and you tell me if it even possible. 1. I moved to cyrus from UW because of the ability to create virtual mailboxes and sasl has worked fine 2, I also have a mysql database that contains user info and is also used to authenticate users for various parts of the website including my web based imap client. what I want to do is 1. combine the creation of cyrus mailboxes with record creation in the sql db 2. have cyrus use pam_mysql to look up and authenticate passwords from the sql database are 1 or 2 possible ? I have compiled pam_mysql as directed and tested it with pam module for the sudo and it definetely checks the database when I use it there. The same is not true for imap, no queries are made to the database and nothing seems to work except sasl I am working on an intel redhat linux 7.1 system. Thanks in advance.
