Hello,
I'm trying to get Dovecot to use GSSAPI for authentication. I have an IPA server on CentOS 7 with a bunch of my servers attached to the IPA domain, including the server running Dovecot.
I've followed official documentation from Red Hat and read numerous wiki articles on how to configure Dovecot to get it to use GSSAPI correctly. I don't think I've done anything incorrectly, but it refuses to work. This is the error I'm seeing:
mailman02 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): user=<>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, TLS, session=<QhWSqxofyAAKyAkM>
I don't understand why no username is being passed. My mail client is Evolution 3.10.4.
FYI, Dovecot does work fine using a user/password file. I'm just trying to switch it over to GSSAPI so that I can manage passwords from one system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ranbir

Anyone? I could really use some help with trouble shooting my setup.
Kerberos + Dovecot apparently works really well, but not for me...yet. :(

you choiced to use a precompiled problem from redhat, no ?
if you used freebsd or gentoo there whould only be learning curve left
back to your problem, are you sure maintainer at redhat enabled kerberos auth login ?
if need more help ask the maintainer for the rpm package, or still convenced its a bug in dovecot show dovecot -n, i have lost if you already have, but lets take it from there on

Yes. Well, not Red Hat directly - I'm using CentOS.

Yes, I can see AUTH=GSSAPI when I telnet to the server and get a list of Dovecot's capabilities.

I don't think it's a bug in Dovecot. I have feeling I have a misconfiguration, but I can't figure out what it is.
I sent my config in a reply to another list member's message. Maybe the broken part will jump out now.
Thanks,
Ranbir

Hi Ranbir
I've worked with freeIPA a little, but without your doveconf or some other context information, it is difficult to identify the issue.

That's never caused any issues before. In fact, in my normal configuration (i.e. no GSSAPI auth) it works just fine.
Is GSSAPI auth the only auth method that needs a numeric ID?

dovecot is buildt with security in mind...
using namebased gid or uid is not secure
it might just still works, but its not secure
Benny, where did you learn all this?

From the first message I noted this:
mailman02 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth
mechanism): user=<>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, TLS, session=<QhWSqxofyAAKyAkM>
It seems that your client is not using GSSAPI, but PLAIN instead.
About your config:

In my configs I was forced to use REALM in uppercase. When I used it lowercase I had issues mainly with PAM.
auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/imap.keytab
Double-check that your keytab is correctly authorized in IPA and it's still valid. In my case I had to setup a cron to refresh the keytab. (Remember chown it, so Dovecot can read it)

It says "tried to use unsupported auth mechanism". In your later mail you say that telnet shows AUTH=GSSAPI in capabilities. So that would mean that the client isn't using AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI but something else.
Set auth_debug=yes and/or see what the client actually does by enabling pre-login rawlog: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog

I'd been considering that perhaps my version of Evolution was too old, so I upgraded from Fedora 20 to Fedora 22: still doesn't work. :/

Alright, I enabled it. I have some logs, but I'm not clear on what I should and shouldn't include here. Can I just copy and paste both in and out logs verbatim without inadvertently giving up my passwords or something??

change password before debug logs
then run debug
change password
paste it
is safe

I guess it's now crashing with this:

That's a bug in the Dovecot version you're using. Upgrade.

That's just awesome. I saw that in the debug log before I posted to the list, but I was hoping it was being triggered by a bad configuration on my part. :/
Ima screwed until an update is release by the CentOS team and they'll be waiting until Red Hat does something about it.

You can probably work around that by configuring something like:
passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.master master = yes }
The passwd.master file itself can be empty.

Where do I add this config: in auth-static.conf.ext?
I take it a master user isn't absolutely required, but to workaround this bug, one must be configured?

only fault if any you maked was to choice a precompiled problem, but try to make a bugreport at redhat on it, possible also on other distros that is precompiled, if you find another os that solves it faster, you have found a possible os to install :=)
