Hi folks, 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? I'm also having authentication problems in Samba server too, and as the pam.d has the same pam module as the IMAP one, I'm wondering if that's the problem again. Is there any documentation anyone can point me to (or give me a clue directly please). My clients try and connect and the M$ box keeps asking for a network password for some reason. I copied the samba password file from the old installation (and the samba configuration file) but still am having problems. Thanks for the help in advance. Peter.

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.
