Hello list,
I'm trying to get pidgeonhole/managesieve running, and I'm stuck connecting clients to the server (Dovecot 2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.1 on an Ubnutu 18.04 machine). So far, my config looks like this:
protocols = imap lmtp sieve
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain login scram-sha-1
service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve {
port = 4190
ssl = yes
}
service_count = 1
}
service managesieve {
process_limit = 256
}
protocol sieve {
managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
}(please let me know if you need more details).
When I connect via
openssl s_client -connect $myserver:4190I get the following prompt (after the usual certificate prompt):
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot (Ubuntu) Pigeonhole"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext vacation-seconds imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN SCRAM-SHA-1" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready."
and I can login successfully:
AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "base64(0x00 $user 0x00 $password)"
OK "Logged In."Note how this is different from the troubleshooting guide 1, which suggests gnutls-bin and waiting for the STARTTLS capability before hitting Ctrl-D. This is what I get with gnutls-bin:
$ gnutls-cli --starttls --insecure -p 4190 $myserver
Processed 0 CA certificate(s).
Resolving '$myserver:4190'...
Connecting to '$myserverip:4190'...
- Simple Client Mode:
_where "_" denotes the waiting prompt. When I hit Ctrl-D here, I get an output similar that of s_client.
Now, my problem are the clients: neither Thunderbird's sieve extenstion 2, nor the Ruby ManageSieve class 3, nor Roundcube's managesieve plugin 4 (via Net_Sieve module 5) are able to communicate with my server. They all wait for a "STARTTLS" line, before they attempt to perform a TLS handshake.
This leads me to my question: How do I force Dovecot to print at least a STARTTLS line after a client connects to port 4190? Looking
Kind regards, Dominik
I've missed a part at the end:

... at the default configuration files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ I don't see an obvious difference.

Hi Dominik,
I have set ssl = required in 10-ssl.conf globally but no ssl here:
service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve {
port = 4190
}
...
}
Nevertheless, STARTTLS is offered
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "SASL" "" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "service active"
and the connection will be encrypted (tested with roudcube webmail)
STARTTLS < OK "Begin TLS negotiation now."
...
You can check if it works with tcpdump:
tcpdump -nn -l -A -i eth0 port 4190

For reference: if you put ssl=yes there, the TLS layer is established immediately. However, the standard ManageSieve protocol does not support that (not currently anyway): only the establishment of the TLS layer using the STARTTLS command is part of the standard. That is why your clients fail to connect: they're speaking plaintext while the server is speaking TLS. Still, Dovecot supports configuring it that way, which is what you did.

I'm just surprised that ssl=yes leads to STARTTLS being disabled, as per the wiki 1:
ssl=yes and disable_plaintext_auth=no: SSL/TLS is offered to the client, but the client isn't required to use it. [...]
ssl=yes and disable_plaintext_auth=yes: SSL/TLS is offered to the client, but the client isn't required to use it. [...]
ssl=required: SSL/TLS is always required [...]. Any attempt to authenticate before SSL/TLS is enabled will cause an authentication failure.
Maybe this bit needs to be clarified a bit? I think I've read that page a few times and it still didn't occur to me that this could be a problem.

I'm just surprised that ssl=yes leads to STARTTLS being disabled, as per the wiki 1:
With ssl=yes, the TLS layer is enabled immediately on the connection. So, there is no need to perform STARTTLS. But worse, a client that doesn't work this way will try to send "STARTTLS" in plaintext to a service talking TLS already. This will obviously not work.

Stephan.

Again, that's not what the documentation says:

isn't required to use it.If the client is not _required_ to use it, it _may_ chose plaintext transport, no?

Oh, I think we are talking about different things here. You're talking about the global ssl= setting. I am talking about the ssl = yes inside the service listener configuration (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Services#inet_listeners). The former specifies whether SSL is available/required for user connections in general, whereas the latter specifies whether the service activates the TLS layer immediately for that particular listener. The latter is also where you made the configuration mistake.
