Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (1213 mails)

[Thomas Etheber <etheber@xxxxxx>]

Dear list,

after reading several posts and websites, I finally got stuck with my 
configuration on a openSUSE 11.4 box and help in any form is highly 
appreciated.

I want to make sure that both SMTP (on submission port: 587) and IMAPs 
(on port: 993) services are working with encryption, so that no clear 
text passwords are send over the wire.

If I configure my Thunderbird mail client to work with Postfix on port 
587, STARTTLS and non encrypted passwords, everything seems to work 
fine. My problem results from Cyrus and everything seems to work if I 
send out the passwords in plain and over the wire (no encryption at 
all). Unfortunately, as far as I get it, I am not able to establish a 
secure connection via STARTTLS or SSL/TLS. The thunderbird client always 
loses its connection.

Here are some details about my configuration:

$> cat /etc/imapd.conf
<<<< SNIP
allowplaintext: yes
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
tls_ca_file: /etc/postfix/certs/cacert.pem
tls_cert_file: /etc/postfix/certs/mail_signed_cert.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/postfix/certs/mailkey.pem
<<<<

$>cat /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb
mech_list: plain login

$> cat /etc/cyrus.conf
START {
  recover       cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
  idled         cmd="idled"
}
SERVICES {
  imap          cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=0
  imaps         cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0
  sieve         cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
  lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
}
EVENTS {
  checkpoint    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30
  delprune      cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400
  tlsprune      cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}

Whenever I try to connect via thunderbird, the following messages appear:

$> tail /var/log/messages
Apr 12 15:22:42 hostXYZ imaps[32135]: executed
Apr 12 15:22:42 hostXYZ imaps[32135]: IOERROR: opening

Apr 12 15:22:42 hostXYZ master[32114]: service imaps pid 32135 in BUSY 
state: terminated abnormally

Hope that somebody is able to help.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
Thomas
