I'm trying to set up a Cyrus IMAP server. It requires an IMAP password, but I don't see any default or way to set it. What's the secret here?
The simples form of authentication is LOGIN/PLAIN; which with Cyrus [or SASL in general] is performed via the saslauthd service. In your /etc/imapd.conf file set/add - sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN And start the saslauthd service - "service saslauthd start" By default that will authenticate users via PAM; which can be changed via the SASLAUTHD_AUTHMECH setting in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd Recent versions of Cyrus IMAP will be virtuously cranky about letting you perform plain text authentication over a unsecure [unencrypted] connection so if you want to do that also add - allowplaintext: 1 - to your /etc/imapd.conf file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
