Hello, I'm seriously wrestling with cyradm. There seems to be no documentation available as how to use it . I have a basic setup of cyrus-imap with postfix. That works. pwcheck_method is salauthd. With cyradm I can login to the imap server with: cyradm --auth plain --user mailadmin localhost Till sofar no problems. Now I want to use virtual domains, I add the necessary config to imad.conf etc. That works, mail gets distributed nicely by imap to the different domain mailboxes etc. Nice, but only users of the default domain can login to read their mail. Users of the virtual domains get rejected by sasl : "main saslauthd[4336]: do_auth : auth failure: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown]"
So sasl says it doesn't know the users, that's correct because sasl uses shadow to authenticate, so I change the concerning config items from saslauthd to auxprop. Relieve, virtual domain users are now authenticated against sasldb2 and can read their mail. But.., users of the default domain suddenly can't login anymore, because cyrus says that there are no such users anymore... huhh? , imapd.conf has line defaultdomain: <my.domain> . And suddenly cyradm when used as: cyradm --auth plain --user mailadmin localhost ends with: "Login failed: user not found at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118 cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with plain as mailadmin" So what auth methods are there available, I tried allready: CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 EXTERNAL LOGIN PLAIN or what method should I use with cyradm to login as mailadmin when pwcheck_method is set to auxprop?
