[Dovecot] auth-request.c: assertion failed: (*name != '\0')

27 Apr 2006


      I upgraded to beta7 from alpha4, and got this error during the auth process:
dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH   1       PLAIN   service=POP3

lip=0.0.0.0       rip=0.0.0.0      resp=<hidden>
dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(webmaster@example.com,0.0.0.0): query:
SELECT username as user, NULL as password FROM users WHERE username =
'webmaster@example.com' AND password = PASSWORD('mypassword')
dovecot: auth(default): file auth-request.c: line 723
(auth_request_set_field): assertion failed: (*name != '\0')
dovecot: child 8552 (auth) killed with signal 6
My SQL conf:
password_query = SELECT username as user, NULL as password FROM users
WHERE username = '%u' AND password = PASSWORD('%w')
as advised in a previous discussion in this list
