I installed dovecot 1.1.3 from slackbuilds.org for Slackware 12.2. I'm using the following for the config:
Code:
# 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot.conf
protocols: imaps
ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/www.myhostname.net.crt
ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/www.myhostname.net.key
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
auth default:
passdb:
driver: shadow
userdb:
driver: passwd
Problem is, when I try connecting with Outlook Express, it says none of the auth methods are possible:
Code:
IMAP: 01:22:24 [db] Connecting to 'www.myhostname.net' on port 993.
IMAP: 01:22:24 [db] OnNotify: asOld = 0, asNew = 4, ae = 0

I see SASL-IR, and I see AUTH-PLAIN. How do I config dovecot to check the shadow file? I thought I had that right...
When I try adding other mechanisms in dovecot.conf:
Code:
mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
dovecot fails to start complaining that:
dovecot: Fatal: auth(default): DIGEST-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs
and when digest is removed, this:
dovecot: Fatal: auth(default): CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs
What do I have to do to easily enable imaps only connections using a SSL/TLS conection with non-PAM user and passwd lookup?
