Hi,
I've enabled client certificate authentication for imap and managesieve. When I use Thunderbird with the sieve plugin it tries to login, but times out.
Initially I reported this to the sieve plugin, but we came to the conclusion that it managesieve is misbehaving.
https://github.com/thsmi/sieve/issues/94
Thunderbird (win10-64) 52.4.0 (32bit) Sieve 0.2.3k Dovecot (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS) 2.2.33.1-1 (sid)
What happens is the following (p=plugin sends m=managesieve sends)
p:authenticate "EXTERNAL" "" m:""
The response is unexpected. According to RFC 5804 an empty challenge/response is sent as an empty string. So I would expect:
p:authenticate "EXTERNAL" "" m:OK "Logged in."
With the use of gnutls-cli I could reproduce (c=I send m=managesieve sends) gnutls-cli --starttls --x509keyfile marc_mail.key --x509certfile marc_mail.crt -p sieve 172.17.1.4
... m:OK "TLS negotiation successful." c:authenticate "EXTERNAL" "" m:"" c:"" m:OK "Logged in."
However if I try the "imap" syntax (rfc4959) I get logged in at once
... m:OK "TLS negotiation successful." c:authenticate "EXTERNAL" "=" m:OK "Logged in."
Note that this is an imap only extention, "=" is an invalid base64 encoding. Will get back on this later.
This was actually a Dovecot problem. Merged yesterday:
