Hello,
As a step to migrate to a newer version of dovecot, i've been asked to
configure a master user for logging in into mailboxes of a dovecot 1.2.
I've followed the instructions from this page:
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers
but appearently something is going wrong.
I've turned on the auth verbose and what i get in the log is:
2014-06-30 15:25:03 auth(default): Info:
passdb(administrator,127.0.0.1,master): Master user logging in as
user at domain.tld
but the output from a telnet session says:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN] server ready.
a1 login user at domain.tld*administrator <administrator password>
a1 NO [AUTHORIZATIONFAILED] Authorization failed
what i noticed is that if i type a wrong password i get an
AUTHENTICATIONFAILED, which, to me, sounds different from authorization.
what am i doing wrong?
here is the auth configuration:
____________________________________
auth_master_user_separator=*
auth default {
mechanisms = login plain
passdb sql {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
}
passdb passwd-file {
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers
master = yes
pass = yes
}
userdb sql {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
}
userdb static {
args = uid=65000 gid=65000 mail=maildir:/var/utenti/ADS/%Lu/Maildir
}
passdb pam {
}
user = root
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}
