HowtoForge Forums | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials - Perfect Setup Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 - Problem to login with IMAP and POP3 (failed)

Hello,

First I want to thank you for your site that I consult very often and that is really of great help.

I installed a server in following The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) + ISPconfig + Roundcube. But I currently have a problem, I can't login with either POP3 or IMAP4, server responds but then rejects my password

# Do not alter lines that begin with ##, they are used when upgrading

# This file configures authdaemond, the resident authentication daemon.
#
# Comments in this file are ignored. Although this file is intended to
# be sourced as a shell script, authdaemond parses it manually, so
# the acceptable syntax is a bit limited. Multiline variable contents,
# with the \ continuation character, are not allowed. Everything must
# fit on one line. Do not use any additional whitespace for indentation,
# or anything else.

##NAME: authmodulelist:2
#
# The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond. The
# default list is installed. You may selectively disable modules simply
# by removing them from the following list. The available modules you
# can use are: authuserdb authpam authpgsql authldap authmysql authcustom authpipe

##NAME: authmodulelistorig:3
#
# This setting is used by Courier's webadmin module, and should be left
# alone

authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authpam authpgsql authldap authmysql authcustom authpipe"

##NAME: daemons:0
#
# The number of daemon processes that are started. authdaemon is typically
# installed where authentication modules are relatively expensive: such
# as authldap, or authmysql, so it's better to have a number of them running.
# PLEASE NOTE: Some platforms may experience a problem if there's more than
# one daemon. Specifically, SystemV derived platforms that use TLI with
# socket emulation. I'm suspicious of TLI's ability to handle multiple
# processes accepting connections on the same filesystem domain socket.
#
# You may need to increase daemons if as your system load increases. Symptoms
# include sporadic authentication failures. If you start getting
# authentication failures, increase daemons. However, the default of 5
# SHOULD be sufficient. Bumping up daemon count is only a short-term
# solution. The permanent solution is to add more resources: RAM, faster
# disks, faster CPUs...

daemons=5

##NAME: authdaemonvar:2
#
# authdaemonvar is here, but is not used directly by authdaemond. It's
# used by various configuration and build scripts, so don't touch it!

authdaemonvar=/var/run/courier/authdaemon

##NAME: DEBUG_LOGIN:0
#
# Dump additional diagnostics to syslog
#
# DEBUG_LOGIN=0 - turn off debugging
# DEBUG_LOGIN=1 - turn on debugging
# DEBUG_LOGIN=2 - turn on debugging + log passwords too
#
# ** YES ** - DEBUG_LOGIN=2 places passwords into syslog.
#
# Note that most information is sent to syslog at level 'debug', so
# you may need to modify your /etc/syslog.conf to be able to see it.

DEBUG_LOGIN=0

##NAME: DEFAULTOPTIONS:0
#
# A comma-separated list of option=value pairs. Each option is applied
# to an account if the account does not have its own specific value for
# that option. So for example, you can set
# DEFAULTOPTIONS="disablewebmail=1,disableimap=1"
# and then enable webmail and/or imap on individual accounts by setting
# disablewebmail=0 and/or disableimap=0 on the account.

DEFAULTOPTIONS=""

##NAME: LOGGEROPTS:0
#
# courierlogger(1) options, e.g. to set syslog facility
#

LOGGEROPTS=""

##NAME: LDAP_TLS_OPTIONS:0
#
# Options documented in ldap.conf(5) can be set here, prefixed with 'LDAP'.
# Examples:
#
#LDAPTLS_CACERT=/path/to/cacert.pem
#LDAPTLS_REQCERT=demand
#LDAPTLS_CERT=/path/to/clientcert.pem
#LDAPTLS_KEY=/path/to/clientkey.pem

I am able to send and receive emails using UNIX 'mail' application for example.

I suspect something wrong with the authentication modules but I have no clue what I can try

Thanks for any suggestions
