I'm trying to configure a doveadm service that will proxy trough our directors, following the recipie at:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director#Doveadm_server
So on the backends I have:
service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 address = * } } doveadm_proxy_port = 24245 local 192.168.42.0/24 { doveadm_password = suPerSeecret }
I assume the "local" line is supposed to point at my local network..?
Yes. Those IPs where you allow authentication from.
in the main section. Now I get trough to my backend servers, but they complain about:
dovecot:: doveadm: Error: doveadm client attempted non-PLAIN authentication
This means doveadm was talking incorrectly.
Any ideas for what that might be? This is with dovecot v2.0.14.
Some v2.0 versions had bugs related to doveadm server. So this is probably a bug in v2.0.14. And I'm not entirely sure if doveadm server works correctly in v2.0 at all, since I did some bigger changes to v2.1 related to it.
