Dear all,
I noticed that incoming users were attempting to authenicate usingseveral methods like pam sql. Eventually, they logged in. Is there a way for dovecot to only query a mysql backup for users, and skip the other methods?
Examples from logs (via Roundcube webmail in this case, but the same messages appear with port 993)
Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(aa@bb.co.uk,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?) Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: auth(default): passwd(aa@bb.co.uk,127.0.0.1): unknown user Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=aa@bb.co.uk, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
As shown above, the user uses pam, passwd and then finally the user account fetched from mysql.
The distribution is Debian Squeeze.
Configure only the userdb and passdb you want to use and remove all other. You forgot to show your
doveconf -n/dovecot -noutput.Regards, Pascal Sorry. Its below:
