[Courier-imap] imapd: LOGIN FAILED

[Pernilla Uhlin]

Hi,

I'm quite new to courier-imap and just installed it. I have a set of user in /etc/passwd (and my system use shadow passwords), and my configuration is as shown:

authdaemonrc:
authmodulelist="authshadow authpwd"
authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authshadow authpwd"

imapd:
AUTHMODULES="authshadow authpwd"
AUTHMODULES_ORIG="authshadow authpwd"

imapd-ssl:
IMAPDSSLSTART=YES

I stop and start to make sure these configurationes are the one used by:

/etc/init.d/imap stop/start
/etc/init.d/imaps stop/start
/usr/local/libexec/authlib/authdaemond restart

In my /etc/passwd I have:
pernilla:x:1012:100:Pernilla Uhlin,,,:/home/pernilla:/bin/bash

authtest gives me:
***@server3: /usr/local/libexec/authlib/authtest pernilla
Authenticated: module authdaemon
Home directory: /home/pernilla
UID/GID: 1012/100
AUTHADDR=pernilla
AUTHFULLNAME=Pernilla Uhlin

authinfo gives me:
AUTHDAEMONMODULELIST="authcustom authcram authuserdb authshadow authpwd"
SASL_AUTHENTICATION_MODULES="CRAM-SHA1 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN"

authshadow:
AUTHFAILURE

authpwd:
AUTHFAILURE


Then, I'm trying to login with:

Um... Have you tried just:

Aloha mai Nai`a!

Hi,

that did the trick of course! ;)

Thanks.

Now I only have anotther question, I succed to send a message to the address stated below, and a look in the errorlog gave me this:

imapd-ssl: /usr/local/bin/couriertls: No such file or directory

A search through my system indicated that I don't have this file. Do I need it and shouldn't it be a part of courier-imap?

courier-imap doesn't deliver mail, so probably that message only occurred
when you tried to connect to the mailbox using IMAP over SSL to read
messages.

Yes it should be there, so you have an incomplete installation if it is
missing. Possible problems include:
(1) You are using someone's precompiled package, and they forgot to include
it [solution: build courier-imap from source instead]
(2) You do not have OpenSSL libraries in your system
(3) OpenSSL libraries were not found at compile time

You can check config.log to see if OpenSSL was found. If not, you may need
to set something like

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"; export CPPFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"; export LDFLAGS
./configure ...etc

where of course those directories are the locations of the openssl header
files and libraries respectively.

Brian.

Hi,

I configured courier using:

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl" --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --disable-root-check --with-ssl

Since, courier have had problems with finding my openssl. Without these flags courier can't compile at all, it stucks at the make command after a while saying "couldn't find ssl.h" or something like that. But when I added the -CPPFLAG it seems to work, so by this I assumed that the installation cointained ssl-support?

What do you get when you run the following?

% which openssl

That's the symptom, not the problem.
Fix the problem, and the symptom will go away.

The ssl-support is THERE, just not the SSL, by the sound of things.

Hi,
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl" --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --disable-root-check --with-ssl

Looking at that, I'd guess you need -L/usr/local/ssl/lib in your LDFLAGS.
Try that. (-L is the path to the directory which includes the .a or .so
files which are the libraries themselves)

Well, it might have found the header file, but it still might need to find
the library.

If you find the pop3d or imapd executable, and do "ldd pop3d" or "ldd
imapd", what do you see?

If this is a Solaris system you may also need to add /usr/local/ssl/lib into
your linker runtime path using crle.

This is the SSL/TLS wrapper. If you don't have it, it means that SSL/TLS
support was not compiled because OpenSSL development libraries are not
installed.

Does a reference to port 993 show up?

It seems as though ipamd-ssl.rc has been called, but Courier didn't build
with SSL / TLS support, which PROBABLY means a problem with it being able
to find OpenSSL on your machine.

I think so. (8-)

Hi,
authmodulelist="authshadow authpwd"
authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authshadow authpwd"
AUTHMODULES="authshadow authpwd"
AUTHMODULES_ORIG="authshadow authpwd"

There you should have
AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"

(if you built courier-imap with authdaemon, then I don't think you get the
standalone modules)
