Squirrelmail (webmail)

klmn1 · 05-27-2003, 01:47 AM

I seems to have problem login with the webmail. Whenever I try login with any user ID and password created the login will always be denied - it indicates the user name and password is incorrect.

My questions:

1) Where does the user name & password refers, is it same the Linux user ID & password?

2) Any configuration requires before users are allowed to login?

thanx

1) yes

2) the configure script inside squirrelmail is extremely straightforward, just run ./configure inside the source directory and see what needs to be done.

The authentication will be done by your IMAP server not SquirrelMail itself so you may want to look through your IMAP daemon's configuration and check for any messages from it in your logs.

It seems that the imapd-2002b wont allow me to login using squirrelmail (login denied) either. But when i revert to imapd-2001a it seems to work fine.

Oh, i'm running Redhat 9 with the 1.4 version of squirrelmail. I'm using the rpm packages to install imap (2002b = rawhide).

Anyone know of a way to modify this? It seems that the imap program needs to be modified but i think that has to be done at compile time (pre .rpm).

Ok, here's what i see when i telnet host 143 with the imap-2001a installed:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN]
IMAP4rev1 2001.315rh

when I do the same telnet command but with the imap-2002b installed i see this:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED]
IMAP4rev1 2002.336rh

Any ideas on how to modify the login of the 2002b so that it'll do AUTH=LOGIN instead of LOGINDISABLED?

If this is the UW IMAP server then its a compile time option only AFAIK. In which case you'll need to find another package with the different build options, or roll your down from source.
