hi there! i am using cyrus,postfix mail. i am having problems for checking users mail password from the mysql db. i was doing it previously, my db and mail was in the same server. but i wanna move the db to a different server now. i have done the following things,
* added an user in mysql for the mail server * changed the imapd.conf accordingly but it failed to connect the database. most surprisingly it is communicating the local db provided the local mysqld is running and it is checking password from the local db. how is that possible?!! i am sending u the copy of my imapd.conf, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true tls_cert_file: /var/lib/imap/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /var/lib/imap/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /var/lib/imap/ca-bundle.crt allowplaintext: yes sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 # Do NOT ENABLE THE FOLLOWING LINE servername: mail.accesstel.net autocreatequota: 0 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost sieve_maxscriptsize: 32 sieve_maxscripts: 5 sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop saslauthd #auxprop_plugin: sql sasl_auto_transition: yes sasl_sql_engine: mysql sasl_sql_user: myuser sasl_sql_passwd: mypass sasl_sql_hostname: 192.168.70.139:3306 sasl_sql_database: radius sasl_sql_select: SELECT Value FROM radcheck WHERE UserName = 'u' and Attribute = 'User-Password' sasl_sql_insert: INSERT INTO radcheck (UserName, Attribute, Value, op) VALUES ('u', 'User-Password', 'v', ':=') sasl_sql_update: UPDATE radcheck SET Value = 'v' WHERE UserName = 'u' and Attribute = 'User-Password' sasl_sql_verbose: yes #unixhierarchysep: yes #altnamespace: yes #userprefix: pop2.accesstel.net #loginrealms: pop2.accesstel.net #foolstupidclients: yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ would u please tell me how to solve the problem? hoping to hear from u soon. thanking u in advance. monsurul amin access telecom bd ltd --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
