I'm trying to set up a system where there are no normal user accounts, but
people can get mail. I'm using sasl-2.1.7 and cyrus-imapd-2.1.9 on FreeBSD4.
I set up some accounts using saslpasswd2. I can see them with sasldblistusers2
# sasldblistusers2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword
However, I can't connect with cyradm to create accounts. I'm sure I have
set up sasl improperly, but I don't know how to fix it.
Here's my /etc/imapd.conf:
# cat /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/imap
defaultpartition: default
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
allowplaintext: no
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
admins: cyrus
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
I copied /etc/cyrus.conf from master/conf/small.conf
Here's what it looks like when I try to connect:
# cyradm --user cyrus localhost
IMAP Password:
Login only available under a layer at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 114
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus
The only logfile lines are:
Sep 26 17:06:03 rs2 master[73544]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
Sep 26 17:06:03 rs2 imap[73544]: executed
Sep 26 17:06:03 rs2 imapd[73544]: accepted connection
Eventually I don't want any plaintext authentication happening. I'm used
to setting up UW-imap, which lets you define secrets in a cram-md5 file,
and then it uses them for authentication. However in that situation you
need user accounts on the system. My ultimate goal is: no user accounts
and no plaintext passwords.
Please help.
