Description John Shaw 2003-08-08 08:28:24 UTC
I run qmail/maildir/courier-imap on my system for mail.  When I upgraded to
Courier 1.7.3-r1 I lost the ability to log into my imap server over imap-ssl.  I
have tried both authplain and authpgsql and neigther work (both previously had
worked)

Courier-imap 2.0.0 Postgresql Auth Script

This is more or less identicle to the one I use that works perfectly with
courier-imap 1.6.2 because I don't use any of the new fields.

# The server hostname, port, userid, and password used to log in.
#
# To connect to a filesystem socket, delete PGSQL_HOST, and set PGSQL_PORT to
# the socket's last component.	So, if your pg socket is /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5400

PGSQL_PORT		5432
PGSQL_USERNAME		imap
PGSQL_PASSWORD		********


##NAME: PGSQL_OPT:0

# PGSQL_OPT

##NAME: PGSQL_DATABASE:0
#
# The name of the MySQL database we will open:

PGSQL_DATABASE		imapdata 

##NAME: PGSQL_USER_TABLE:0
#
# The name of the table containing your user data.  See README.authmysqlrc
# for the required fields in this table (both MySQL and Postgress use the
# same suggested layout.

PGSQL_USER_TABLE	passwd

##NAME: PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD:0
#
# Either PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD or PGSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD must be defined.  Both
# are OK too. crypted passwords go into PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD, cleartext
# passwords go into PGSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD.  Cleartext passwords allow
# CRAM-MD5 authentication to be implemented.

PGSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD	crypt

#
#
# PGSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD	clear

##NAME: PGSQL_DEFAULT_DOMAIN:0

PGSQL_LOGIN_FIELD	id

##NAME: PGSQL_HOME_FIELD:0
#

PGSQL_HOME_FIELD	home

##NAME: PGSQL_NAME_FIELD:0
#
# The user's name (optional)

PGSQL_NAME_FIELD	name

##NAME: PGSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD:0
#
# This is an optional field, and can be used to specify an arbitrary
# location of the maildir for the account, which normally defaults to
# $HOME/Maildir (where $HOME is read from PGSQL_HOME_FIELD).
#
# You still need to provide a PGSQL_HOME_FIELD, even if you uncomment this
# out.
#
PGSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD	maildir

##NAME: PGSQL_DEFAULTDELIVERY:0
#
# Courier mail server only: optional field specifies custom mail delivery
# instructions for this account (if defined) -- essentially overrides
# DEFAULTDELIVERY from ${sysconfdir}/courierd
#
# PGSQL_DEFAULTDELIVERY defaultDelivery

##NAME: PGSQL_QUOTA_FIELD:0
#
# Define PGSQL_QUOTA_FIELD to be the name of the field that can optionally
# specify a maildir quota.  See README.maildirquota for more information 
#
# PGSQL_QUOTA_FIELD	quota

##NAME: PGSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE:0
#
# This is optional, PGSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE can be basically set to an arbitrary
# fixed string that is appended to the WHERE clause of our query
#
# PGSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE	server='mailhost.example.com'

##NAME: PGSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE:0
#
# (EXPERIMENTAL)
# This is optional, PGSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE can be set when you have a database,
# which is structuraly different from proposed. The fixed string will
# be used to do a SELECT operation on database, which should return fields
# in order specified bellow:
#
# username, cryptpw, uid, gid, clearpw, home, maildir, quota, fullname
#
# Enabling this option causes ignorance of any other field-related
# options, excluding default domain.
#
# There are two variables, which you can use. Substitution will be made
# for them, so you can put entered username (local part) and domain name
# in the right place of your query. These variables are:
#		$(local_part), $(domain), and $(service)
#
# If a $(domain) is empty (not given by the remote user) the default domain
# name is used in its place.
#
# $(service) will expand out to the service being authenticated: imap, imaps,
# pop3 or pop3s.  Courier mail server only: service will also expand out to
# "courier", when searching for local mail account's location.	In this case,
# if the "maildir" field is not empty it will be used in place of
# DEFAULTDELIVERY.  Courier mail server will also use esmtp when doing
# authenticated ESMTP.
#
# This example is a little bit modified adaptation of vmail-sql
# database scheme:
#
# PGSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE	SELECT popbox.local_part,			\
#			CONCAT('{MD5}', popbox.password_hash),		\
#			popbox.clearpw, 				\
#			domain.uid,					\
#			domain.gid,					\
#			CONCAT(domain.path, '/', popbox.mbox_name),	\
#			'',						\
#			domain.quota,					\
#			'',						\
#			FROM popbox, domain				\
#			WHERE popbox.local_part = '$(local_part)'	\
#			AND popbox.domain_name = '$(domain)'		\
#			AND popbox.domain_name = domain.domain_name
#
##NAME: PGSQL_CHPASS_CLAUSE:0
#
# (EXPERIMENTAL)
# This is optional, PGSQL_CHPASS_CLAUSE can be set when you have a database,
# which is structuraly different from proposed. The fixed string will
# be used to do an UPDATE operation on database. In other words, it is
# used, when changing password.
#
# There are four variables, which you can use. Substitution will be made
# for them, so you can put entered username (local part) and domain name
# in the right place of your query. There variables are:
#	$(local_part) , $(domain) , $(newpass) , $(newpass_crypt)
#
# If a $(domain) is empty (not given by the remote user) the default domain
# name is used in its place.
# $(newpass) contains plain password
# $(newpass_crypt) contains its crypted form
#
# PGSQL_CHPASS_CLAUSE	UPDATE	popbox					\
#			SET	clearpw='$(newpass)',			\
#				password_hash='$(newpass_crypt)'	\
#			WHERE	local_part='$(local_part)'		\
#			AND	domain_name='$(domain)'

Courier 2.0.0 Authdaemonrc Script
Comment 8 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-08-12 15:09:20 UTC
ok, you note imap-ssl doesn't work, but does pure IMAP work ?
Comment 9 Veit Waltemath 2003-08-14 03:28:03 UTC
I have the same probs here on a fresh install with1.7.3-r1 and 2.0.0. 
I use authpam, neither imap-ssl nor pure imap work resp. i cannot login. 
 
I checked this on two other boxen where i have to upgrade imap 
and with both version, 1.7.3-r1 and 2.0.0 i'am able to connect successfully 
to the imap server. 
But not on the fresh installed box :-( 
Comment 10 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-08-14 03:58:46 UTC
both of you: please attach /etc/courier-imap/imapd and /etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl and confirm that authdaemond is running before courier-imap.

veit: please report the last version that worked for you

john: does regular IMAP work for you or not ?

Comment 13 Veit Waltemath 2003-08-14 04:44:18 UTC
On a x86 and ppc box which are frequently updated i have no problems to connect to imapd with 1.7.3-r1 and 2.0.0 .

But on a fresh new machine from stage3 i cant get imap to work.
i tried 1.7.3 1.7.3-r1 and 2.0.0 and cannot login. All i get
is this in my syslog:

Aug 14 12:09:55 max authdaemond.plain: authdaemon: modules="authpam", daemons=5
Aug 14 12:10:14 max imapd-ssl: Connection, ip=[192.168.1.1]
Aug 14 12:10:43 max imap(pam_unix)[29531]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=veitw
Aug 14 12:10:48 max imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[192.168.1.1]

Yes authdaemond is running before courier-imap.
Comment 14 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-08-14 04:56:19 UTC
right after "authentication failure; logname= uid=0
euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=veitw" shows up in the logs
please run 'id veitw' and paste that output here.

also, try running nscd and see if that has any effect (both off and on).
Comment 15 John Shaw 2003-08-14 07:20:15 UTC
1.6.2 is the last version that works for me.   And both imap-ssl and imap don't work, I 
just didn't notice regular imap wasn't working because I don't run it.

root@max courier-imap # id veitw

Running nscd didn't change anything.
Comment 18 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2003-08-14 10:02:50 UTC
Hmm, it looks like authdaemon has lost it's mind and doesn't know where to find it, but lets confirm that first.

firstly, try:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authtest $username $password
replacing $username and $password with good values, and include the output here.

next, try this (same as before with username and password):
/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemontest 1 5 /usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authtest $username $password

there should be no output from this, if there is, please include the output and the return code (echo "$?" right afterwards to check.)

lastly, please do this, in imapd, set
DEBUG_LOGIN=2

then try to login once either via imapd or imapd-ssl, and include that log output here. it may go to the debug SYSLOG, or a number of other places, depending on your log setup, so you may have to dig to find it.

Oh forgot the echo "$?". It gives me 1 back.
Comment 21 Veit Waltemath 2003-08-17 10:14:46 UTC
Hm,i thing in my case it has something to do with permission.
I add a new user on my problem box, maildirmake him a .maildir
and send him a mail, connect with mutt to the imapd without problems.
The /homes are nfs shares and all configs are the same as on the box
without problems.
Any clues where i can looking for?
Comment 22 Veit Waltemath 2003-08-17 11:35:12 UTC
Jesus, a screwed up passwd was the problem.

veitw@max veitw $ passwd
Changing password for veitw
(current) UNIX password: 
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

After setting a new password all went fine.

Thx
