Hi, I've been trying to configure sasl-auth/postfix in SuSE 8.0 without success. The server always responses Authentication failed errors. I've constructed '/etc/sasldb' using 'saslpasswd' with my usertest and password . I also added to 'main.cf' file: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains and finally, I added to '/usr/lib/sasl' directory the file inetd.conf with the only-line pwcheck_method: sasldb But the server always responses what folows in a debug session (Masked user and some details with ***): Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: EHLO bach Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-bach.oxixares.com Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-PIPELINING Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-SIZE 10240000 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-VRFY Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-ETRN Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250-XVERP Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 250 8BITMIME Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: AUTH DIGEST-MD5 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: sasl_method DIGEST-MD5 Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: uncoded challenge: realm="bach.*******.***",nonce="9BWo3s5**********HV7eFcKoDLwvHE87uJNgdAYfLM=",qop="auth,auth-int",charset=utf-8,algorithm=md5-sess Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 334 cmVhbG09ImJhY2gub3hpeGFyZXMuY29tIixub25jZT0iOUJ**********mRNN2pjK3BIVjdlRmNLb0RMd3ZIRTg3dUpOZ2RB**********FvcD0iYXV0aCxhdXRoLWludCIsY2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCxhbGdvcml0aG09bWQ1LXNlc3M= Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: Y2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCx1c2VybmFtZT0iZ2J2IixyZWFsbT0iYmFjaC5veGl4YXJlcy5jb20iL********************VZKZE03amMrcEhWN2VGY0tvREx3**********5nZEFZZkxNPSIsbmM9MDAwMDAwMDEsY25vbmNlPSJNemswTXprPSIsZGlnZXN0LXVyaT0ic210cC9iYWNoLm94aXhhcmVzLmNvbSIscmVzcG9uc2U9ZDYwZjZmZjdlZTRiYzY0Njk5N2Q2MGM5NmFjNjIwYzUscW9wPWF1dGg= Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: smtpd_sasl_authenticate: decoded response: charset=utf-8,username="*******",realm="bach.*******.****",nonce="9BWo3s5**********HV7eFcKoDLwvHE87uJNgdAYfLM=",nc=00000001,cnonce="*****k=",digest-uri="smtp/bach.oxixares.com",response=d60f6ff7ee4bc646997d60c96ac620c5,qop=auth Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed Aug 2 12:40:13 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 535 Error: authentication failed Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: Aug 2 12:40:18 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 500 Error: bad syntax Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: watchdog_pat: 0x8092f70 Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: QUIT Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 221 Bye Aug 2 12:40:23 bach postfix/smtpd[2382]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Any help is welcome, I don't know why in the world I can't authentificate :( Thanks in advance.
