Hi,

I use the imtest command as following:

./imtest -u USER (for me, it's the ldap uid of user) -a USER -m login (or plain) -s (for ssl) -v pc-systeme.cict.fr

or ./imtest -u USER -a USER -m login (or plain) -p imap -v localhost

Hello All,
 I have finally managed to install Cyrus IMAP. But I am unable to
login to the server to create new accounts.

I am using this command
/usr/local/bin/imtest -m login -a USER localhost

but I get a authentication failure

and my imapd.conf has this configuration

configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
hashimapspool: true
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

I have changed the cyrus user password created on the OS to login
using that, but it does not work. I am new to this, so dont know which
authentication database I am using and how to manage it.

Please kindly give me some tips how to manage the IMAP server.

Thanks a lot.
Imran.
