Hi,

<snip>

It would probably be really helpful if you posted your dovecot -n output.

Also, it sounds like you didn't even attempt plain text login at all. You should probably make sure that works before attempting encrypted login via SSL etc.

To try plain text login, reload your backup (original) dovecot.conf and make sure you have:

protocols = imap disable_plaintext_auth = no

-- Stan

Well, ofcourse i tried to do that. Maybe i do not know how to create a user.... (if you please: tell me how to create a new user with password that is able to login first from localhost)

Anyway, here's the wanted output:

You trimmed the first few lines? What version of dovecot is this?

No, i typed it over, because there is no way to get to this directory from another pc. We are version:2.0.8, coming from 1.2 when i could not login at this install, i wrecked the config file unintentionaly, not having made a backup first, same as now, stupid, i know. I had to replace obsolete entries first. And i am on an i586 install.

Hi,

Have you populated the dovecot-sql.conf and the SQL database tahat is referenced by it?

This is quite wrong indeed.

You are attempting to use sqlite with MD5 at:

connect = /etc/dovecot/authdb.sqlite default_pass_scheme = MD5

then you use mysql with scheme CRYPT:

driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig password=50b0152ba02189a94881c371ef1ef128 default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

Do you really need SQL? If this is going to be a personal server with a few accounts I think you should rather use a simpler scheme. I prefer plaintext user and password databases over SQL for quick and small installs.

This is a Dovecot 1.2 + Postfix + Roundcube setup and works without any problems. This is to give you a basic idea, please do not attempt to copy paste this file, rather try to understand it. This setup was created after a lot of reading, testing and reading (yep again!) and more testing, and serves my purposes.

Here on this contains dovecot -n, postfix -n outputs, postfix master.cffile, /etc/dovecot/passwd, /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps, /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains and addmailuser.sh script that I based on someone's script and changed a little for my purposes.

Anyone else wishes to comment on this setup is of course welcome to do so. After writing all this I think this may warrant a HOW-TO page after all. :)

Hi,

As a matter of fact no.. I am sort of new to commandline, and i find it extremely difficult to find my way between all howto's.. to know which command to use where, and when.... but i am learning I have taken a look at dovecot-sql.conf, and saw a few possibilities, or options: the path to the databasefile, from which i think it should be:

connect = /etc/dovecot/authdb.sqlite

default_pass_scheme = MD5

but then, i am lost. it atm looks like abracadabra to me..

at the end of the file is the config of ISPConfig:

driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig password=50b0152ba02189a94881c371ef1ef128 default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

password_querry = SELECT password FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n' user_querry = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT('maildir:', maildir,'/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', floor(quota/1024))AS quota, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

at this moment i would not know what i should write here when i want to login from squirrelmail... AND most important: how to create a user and password at the right
