I am having great difficulty in getting cyradm to work properly
with a 2.3.6 murder. This is a 'standard' murder with separate
front-end, backends, and mupdate server. 'virtdomains: userid' is in
effect. Operations done by ordinary users are OK; I only have trouble
with admin ops.
Problem 1: creating top-level user mailboxes.
I connect to the front-end with cyradm:
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/cyradm -user zqvh_admin fe1.srv.tile
Things like listmailbox work OK. However, if I try to create
a new user on a specified backend server:
fe1.srv.tile> cm user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ms1.srv.tile
createmailbox: Permission denied
(If I leave out the backend name, the mailbox gets created on
the frontend and then things get *really* confusing.)
This permission denied is very odd, as I can connect directly
to the mailstore ms1.srv.tile and authenticate as either the
main admin user or as the frontend proxy user and create the
mailbox with no trouble. I enable protocol logs on the
message store, and found this:
In my testing and experience, you can only create new mailboxes by
connecting directly to the backend server that you want the mailbox stored
on.
I use a simple plaintext authentication system without virtual domains.
