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.
