LinuxQuestions.org - Configure Cyrus SASL NTLM Plugin with Postfix

Hello

I hope somebody can help with this.

I have a shell, that in case of failure, sends an email (relaying through an Exchange Server). This Exchange server only offers NTLM authentication.

Code:

250-AUTH NTLM

This is the configuration I have:

Postfix 2.1.1 as client.

Cyrus-SASL installed (without NTLM plugin):

Code:

linux:/usr/local/sbin # rpm -q cyrus-sasl

cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-33.1

In main.cf

relayhost=172.168.240.129
smtp_sasl_security_options=
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

cat /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

172.168.240.129 myuser:mypass

As this version of cyrus-sasl 2.1.18 did not have the cyrus-sasl-ntlm plugin, I had to download the cyrus-sasl-2.1.25 and compile with --enable-ntlm option.

So I got installed ntlm plugin in /usr/local/lib/sasl2/

Code:

rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  89921 Jun 24 22:55 libntlm.so.2.0.25

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    17 Jun 24 22:55 libntlm.so.2 -> libntlm.so.2.0.25

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    17 Jun 24 22:55 libntlm.so -> libntlm.so.2.0.25

But in test this error shows in maillog

warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
send attr reason = delivery via 172.168.240.129[172.168.240.129]: Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server 172.168.240.129[172.168.240.129]: no mechanism available

By the way, command "pluginviewer" does not show that ntlm plugin is loaded.

Any ideas, suggestions to this would be very appreciated. (I've been dealing with this issue many days)

Thanks in advance !!
