 |
|
Many people have installed cyrus-sasl and cyrus-sasl-sql packages and they can't make make saslauthd to use SQL auth. A workaround is to use Dovecot's SQL authentication.
First edit /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and change MECH to this:
| Code: | # Mechanism to use when checking passwords. Run "saslauthd -v" to get a list
# of which mechanism your installation was compiled to use.
#MECH=shadow
MECH="rimap -O 127.0.0.1"
# Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line. See saslauthd(8)
# for the list of accepted flags.
FLAGS=-r |
Some redhat issues. Init script for redhat has this test around line 31:
| Code: | if test -x ${path}.${MECH} ; then
path=/usr/sbin/saslauthd.$MECH
fi |
This way you will see an bash error when you invoke this script. To fix this put quotes like this:
| Code: | if test -x "${path}.${MECH}" ; then
path=/usr/sbin/saslauthd.$MECH
fi |
For non redhat distros just change your auth to rimap:
saslauthd -a rimap -O 127.0.0.1 -r <other options> |
