Sorry, I need your help. I spend a lot of hours with my cyrus server, but I sill have no idea how to solve my problem.
I cannot authenticate. I installed cyrus21-admin cyrus21-common, cyrus21-imapd, sasl2-bin on a debian system. I want to set up an autentification via sasldb, cause it seems to be the easiest way. I changed the permission of /etc/sasldb2 to cyrus. I set up imapd.conf ################# # Debian Cyrus imapd.conf # See imapd.conf(5) for more information and more options # Configuration directory configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus # Which partition to use for default mailboxes defaultpartition: default partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail # News setup partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news newsspool: /var/spool/news # Alternate namespace # If enabled, activate the alternate namespace as documented in # /usr/share/doc/cyrus2-common/html/altnamespace.html, where an user's # subfolders are in the same level as the INBOX altnamespace: no # UNIX Hierarchy Convention # Set to yes, and cyrus will accept dots in names, and use the forward # slash "/" to delimit levels of the hierarchy. This is done by converting # internally all dots to "^", and all "/" to dots. So the "rabbit.holes" # mailbox of user "helmer.fudd" is stored in "user.elmer^fud.rabbit^holes" # # WARNING: This option does NOT apply to admin tools such as cyradm # (admins ONLY), reconstruct, quota, etc., NOR does it affect LMTP delivery # of messages directly to mailboxes via plus-addressing. # See also userprefix and sharedprefix on imapd.conf(5) unixhierarchysep: no # Munging illegal characters in headers # Headers of RFC2882 messages must not have characters with the 8th bit # set. However, too many badly-written MUAs generate this, including most # spamware.
