Hi to both adressed mailing lists,
I followed the instructions in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL
exim.conf:
| plain:
| driver = dovecot
| public_name = PLAIN
| server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
| server_set_id = $auth1
|
| login:
| driver = dovecot
| public_name = LOGIN
| server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
| server_set_id = $auth1
10-master.conf for dovecot:
| service auth {
| # auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically
| # used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default
| # permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax these
| # permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list
| # of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.
| # unix_listener auth-userdb {
| #mode = 0600
| #user =
| #group =
| # }
|
| # Exim SMTP AUTH
| unix_listener auth-client {
| mode = 0660
| user = exim
| group = exim
| }
PLAIN Authentication works perfect, LOGIN gives
2012-05-08 15:08:43 login authenticator failed for xxxxxx.tu-berlin.de [130.149.X.YY]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: authentication socket protocol error
Where is the problem?
Kind regards, Frank Elsner
