Hi
Since imapd 2.2.x doesn't support unified murder, I try to reach my goal with some "config vodoo".
Situation:
I've 2 server. Both have 2 network interfaces and both are running postfix (lmtp) and cyrus-imapd.
Now I try to run backend and frontend server on every machine. Server A (soho) is hosting username a-m and Server B (sokrates) is hosting n-z User.
Idea: User a can connect server B and get his mailbox or vice versa.
My mupdate master server is called soho, the frontend soho.lan and the other server is called sokrates (murder without -m) and sokrates.lan (frontend).
cyrus-backend.conf:
START {
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb ctl_cyrusdb -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf -r"
mupdatepush cmd="ctl_mboxlist -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf -m"
}
SERVICES {
pop3 cmd="pop3d -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf" listen="soho.lan:pop3" prefork=10
imap cmd="imapd -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf" listen="soho.lan:imap" prefork=5
lmtp cmd="lmtpd -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf" listen="soho.lan:lmtp" prefork=5
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" perfork= 0
}
EVENTS {
checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf -c" period=30
delprune cmd="cyr_expire -C /usr/local/etc/imapd-backend.conf -E 3" at=0400
}
(soho master frontend) cyrus.conf:
START {
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
}
SERVICES {
mupdate cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/bin/mupdate -m" listen=3905 prefork=1
pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=10
imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=5
lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=5
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
}
EVENTS {
checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30
delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400
}
soho imapd-backend.conf:
configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap servername: soho.lan singleinstancestore: true hashimapspool: true fulldirhash: true # ACCESS allowplaintext: yes admins: admin proxyservers: admin sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN sasl_ldap_server: localhost sasl_ldap_basedn: ou=people,ou=lan,dc=lan,dc=ch # MURDER mupdate_server: soho mupdate_username: admin mupdate_authname: admin mupdate_password: ADMIN
soho imapd.conf:
configdirectory: /var/imap-frontend partition-default: /var/spool/imap-frontend servername: soho # ACCESS allowplaintext: yes admins: admin proxyservers: admin proxy_authname: admin sokrates_password: ADMIN sokrates_mechs: plain soho_password: ADMIN soho_mechs: plain sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN sasl_ldap_server: localhost sasl_ldap_basedn: ou=people,ou=lan,dc=lan,dc=ch # MURDER mupdate_server: soho mupdate_username: admin mupdate_authname: admin mupdate_password: ADMIN # EOF
sokrates is similiar except the hostname ;)
soho and sokrates backend are running with: master -M /usr/local/etc/cyrus-backend.conf -C /usr/local/et c/imapd-backend.conf -p /var/run/cyrus-master-backend.pid -d
and both frontend are running with default option.
After I start this 4 services I see on sohos log:
Dec 8 20:28:06 soho mupdate[16760]: login: sokrates.lan admin PLAIN User logged in
and on sokrates:
Dec 8 20:28:06 sokrates mupdate[19619]: synchronizing mailbox list with master mupdate server
Dec 8 20:28:06 sokrates mupdate[19619]: mailbox list synchronization complete
It looks ok. imtest works, murdertest works and testsaslauth works also.
I can create user on every backend. "It works like charm". soho# cyradm --user admin --server sokrates --auth plain cm user.foo
It doesn't work on frontend. But i guess this is correct. I hope so
Ok and now the error part: I try to connect every frontend via pop3. I get an error msg:
+OK soho Cyrus POP3 Murder v2.2.10 server ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user sohotest +OK Name is a valid mailbox pass testsoho -ERR [AUTH] authenticating: encryption needed to use mechanism
same on sokrates

Dec 8 20:41:41 soho pop3[16780]: couldn't authenticate to backend server
When I try to connect the backend, I also get an error msg:

Escape character is '^]'.

log:

It is correct. user sohotest only exist on the backend of sokrates. I don't know why it's not synchronized to the soho.
Any help again? Should it work with this configuration?
