I am using saslauthd and backend pam ldap to authenticate
After making the configuration in /etc/imapd.conf and /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/pamd
I am able to login to the imap server by using raw telnet commands
telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK mail2.netcore.co.in Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.13 server ready
a1 login cyrus mypassword
a1 OK User logged in
But when I use cyradm I get authentication failed.
And in syslog an error like
perl: no worthy mechs found
then I changed the system password of cyrus to the same as the ldap one Now it works
Meaning cyradm uses system-auth for authentication.
my /etc/pam.d/imap looks like this
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
Can anyone help me understand why cyradm uses system-auth as the mechanism
Thanks
Ram
