Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.0.x on a centos 5.6 machine. This is a new installation, I haven't even opened the firewall to it yet. I was trying to telnet localhost 143 and 110 trying to authenticate a user. I'm getting authentication failure in my maillog but no details. Here's the one line I get in my maillog:
May 14 15:33:42 ohio dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=user@example.com, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
Here's a doveconf -n: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38.3-linode32 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 auth_default_realm = domain.com auth_mechanisms = plain login … disable_plaintext_auth = no … passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } …
Here's how I constructed my users file: … user:{SSHA512}hbLu+pCmhmtyKEwyAs3wv3kvHD/ryr0MoXOAq3VdB7X/g8qIE/xE9BG+eI4jhFk9pTyiCltPCjZxv5/+yK1wll2LNcw= :5000:5000:: …
CRYPT (CRYPT|MD5-CRYPT|SHA256-CRYPT|SHA512-CRYPT) != SSHA512
I'm suspecting my issue is in my users file or the definition of it in passwd-file{ i've been over the wiki for 2.0.x dovecot, this was definitely worth the upgrade by the way, and thus far have not found an answer.
I'd appreciate any help.
