I managed to make it work using the pam.d/imap that was installed by
Postfix Enabler. The one suggested in the wiki does not work:
top% cat dovecot
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
account required pam_unix.so
but this one works:
top% cat imap
# pop3, imap, smtp : auth account password session
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_uwtmp.so
Thanks a lot.
