Greetings:
I've been using Dovecot 1.0-test62. It has been working well. I tried to upgrade to 1.0-test64 but users could not authenticate.
Both versions I compiled with:
./configure --with-ssl=openssl; make; make installThey compiled and installed fine. The /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf needed to be modified due to the new syntax. 1.0-test64 with the new dovecot.conf didn't work. I'm using imaps. The error related to not being able to authenticate. I reinstalled test62 with the original dovecot.conf and everything worked fine again. My config files look like:
dovecot.conf-test62 looks like:
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth = yes login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 mail_extra_groups = mail default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root
dovecot.conf-test64 looks like:
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth = yes login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u protocol imap { }
protocol pop3 { }
auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root }
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something in the 1.0-test64 config file?
Your comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
