Hello, I have successfully used dovecot 1.0 Beta 9 to do SASL authentication for postfix using the unix passwd/shadow files.
I need to authenticate with a windows 2003 server using active directory. My system does not support PAM (I'm using slackware) so I cannot take that route. I do not need to use dovecot for POP or IMAP at the present time and so I would like to avoid modifying my active directory schema.
Dovecot seems to be communicating with the active directory server, however it is sending an authentication failure to postfix: postfix/smtpd[24540]: warning: unknown[XXX.XXX.XXX.X]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UxxvcmxxQ6
What is the client that tries to authenticate to it here?
I don't see any messages in the log from dovecot.
Set auth_debug=yes and check again. I'm not sure why Postfix would give that weird looking error message..
