  • Bug#266099: squirrelmail: no login to imap server possible

    From Martin Hans@1:229/2 to All on Mon Aug 16 20:10:12 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: squirrelmail
    Version: 2:1.4.3a-0.1
    Severity: important

    Hi,

    since the last update I can no longer login to my Imap server.
    I'm using uw-imap as Imap server:

    uw-imapd >> 7:2002edebian1-3
    uw-mailutils >> 7:2002edebian1-3
    libc-client2002edebian >> 7:2002edebian1-3

    The apache log contains nothing suspicious, but the syslog contains
    the following line:

    Aug 16 19:47:11 balu imapd[4331]: Command stream end of file, while
    reading line user=hans host=balu.mh01.de [127.0.0.1]

    when I try to connect.
    Other clients like KMail and Mozilla work without any problem.
    The Imap server supports only "clear text" login, but this was no problem before.

    Cheers

    Martin

    What is your /etc/squirrelmail/config.php? Especially $imap_server_type?

    Thijs, any idea?

    FWIW, I use exactly the same versions of uw-imapd and libc-client...
    with 'uw' as $imap_server_port, and no problem at all.

    I don't have uw-mailutils installed though.

    Hi,

    the main parts of my SquirrelMail config containing Imap stuff:

    $domain = implode('', file('/etc/hostname')); $imapServerAddress = 'localhost';
    $imapPort = 143;
    $useSendmail = false;
    $smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';
    $smtpPort = 25;
    $sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
    $pop_before_smtp = false;
    $imap_server_type = 'uw';
    $invert_time = false;
    $optional_delimiter = 'detect';
    ...
    $prefs_dsn = '';
    $prefs_table = 'userprefs';
    $prefs_user_field = 'user';
    $prefs_key_field = 'prefkey';
    $prefs_val_field = 'prefval';
    $no_list_for_subscribe = false;
    $smtp_auth_mech = 'none';
    $imap_auth_mech = 'login';
    $use_imap_tls = false;
    $use_smtp_tls = false;
    $session_name = 'SQMSESSID';

    I tried it also without 'uw' as $imap_server_type.
    I now have uninstalled uw-mailutils and the behaviour is still
    the same.

    Can I provide you anything else to find the problem?

    Cheers

    Martin

    retitle 266099 UW-IMAPD doesn't work, probably since libc-client2002edebian thanks

    Hm, not relevant for this bug AFAIK, but you want a trim() around this
    if you don't want a newline in your $domain variable.

    (...)

    I tried it also without 'uw' as $imap_server_type.

    Your configuration is for the relevant parts identical to mine... And if works-for-me(tm). Something somewhere must be different... The next
    logical spot to look is your UW configuration and mail setup.

    Squirrelmail uses plaintext authentication, and that was
    disabled in UW at a certain point in history.

    It can be re-enabled by this:

    [jeroen@mordor]/etc$ cat c-client.cf
    I accept the risk
    set disable-plaintext nil
    [jeroen@mordor]/etc$

    See /usr/share/doc/libc-client2002edebian/README.Debian.gz

    Is this your problem? See #248293 too.

    Thijs, is it possible that the 1.5.x development series can do CRAM-MD5
    or other non-plaintext authentication methods?
