Hello, I am trying to make my SASL /with open ldap work. I can query with ldapsearch and resolve the username and password. I am trying to bypass pam in the middle. But somehow if I do not define -s option while running testsaslauthd it uses imap. Here is the output of testsaslauthd testsaslauthd -u test1 -p welcome 0: NO "authentication failed" /var/log/messages Aug 18 14:32:33 vernal saslauthd[19899]: do_auth : auth failure: [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=ldap] [reason=Unknown] Here are my conf files. #/etc/saslauthd.conf ldap_servers: ldap://testme.sfsu.edu:389/ ldap_bind_dn: uid=test1,cn=users,o=sfsu.edu ldap_bind_pw=welcome ldap_base: o=sfsu.edu ldap_auth_method: bind #ldap_filter: mail=%U,o=sfsu.edu #/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd MECH=ldap When I grep sasl, I see it running as /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -O /etc/saslauthd.conf -a ldap root 19900 19899 0 14:14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -O /etc/saslauthd.conf -a ldap Any help will be greatly apprecaited.
