Description David Williams 2008-07-01 17:49:32 UTC

Dovecot's managesieve server fails to authenticate using the default pam configuration.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start dovecot/managesieve. Set it up for plain authentication and no ssl
2. telnet localhost 2000
3. AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "<yourbase64user/password>"

Actual Results:  
You always get the reply NO. If you switch on debuging in the managesieve protocol (mail_debug = yes) you see a pam error in the log.


Resolution: 

cd /etc/pam.d
ln -s imap managesieve

The managesieve protocol needs a pam module named after itself.

Now it works!!
