Trying to get master users working.
I'm not sure what info would be best, but here's the detail I have now, in trying to get it working. Setup the master user file, and enabled master users in the conf files. Created the master user file and user/password hash.
Turned on authentication debug. When I try something like: telnet localhost 143 and then supply the master user login - kind of like this: 1 login joeb*jb-master somepassword
I get this in the logs. (Some obfuscation done.)
dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=24985) dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=143#011rport=34376#011resp=<hidden> dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Master user lookup for login: joeb dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): lookup: user=jb-master file=/etc/dovecot/masterusers-test dovecot: auth: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Password mismatch dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=jb-master
Yet I can use htpasswd -b -c -s /etc/dovecot/masterusers-test jb-master somepassword And this succeeds. (I created the masterusers-test file with httpasswd)
So, I must have the password right, but dovecot is till failing the auth, claiming a bad password.
How do I go about getting more detail so I can determine what's wrong?
