I'm having some interesting problems with authentication on a new SuSE install that seems to be working quite differently to an 8.1 system.
My IMAP installation simply won't authenticate (although I see from the list that I need to add a key to get this working, and that's not a bad thing if it works). I guess I'm surprised that the only help I can find on the system is about an IMAP implementation that isn't installed by default and makes no mention of this authentication that I can find.
Do I need a key for each user?
With 8.2 IMAP does not allow cleartext passwords unless the connection is secured (SSL). There is an article in the support data base, but as I just realised, it's not yet translated into English :-( You might grasp the neccessary info from the German article: http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/imap_ssl.html You also will need the official IMAP server update (via YOU), because the SSL certificate will not be found otherwise.
