Can you post what you are using as arguments for
cyradm
imtest

and what capabilities the server advertises with imtest

and also the
output from testsaslauthd
when testing the cyrus username/password.


thanks,

Patrick

hmmm ... 'plain'. are you, by any chance, attempting to auth to cyradm over TLS?

cyradm, apparently, does not support auth over TLS. i'd struggled with this same issue for a
bit -- finally finding this approach:

that works.



Hi,

No, I am not trying to auth to cyradm.  I am not doing any encryption.
 plain text passwords authenticating through pam to a mysql database.
regular users are working fine.  it is just the cyrus account that
can't login.  when I do the imtest with the password for the cyrus
account it says authenticated, but when I run cyradm I get the above
error.

thanks,
 jt
