No one can log in....

[SubjectX]

Anytime someone tries to login, they get an invalid login error.

In the error log it shows as:

[15-Oct-2006 10:56:40 -0400] IMAP Error: Authentication for [email protected] failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO LOGIN failed" in on line 0


As far as I know this was out of the blue.... Any ideas?

[scout]

I have this kind problem, too.
When i trying to connect i see:

IMAP Error: Authentication for [email protected] failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Authentication failed."

How can we solve this trouble.
Thanks.

[daashag]

I think you have to just use the username instead of email address.

[scout]

I'm trying to use on login page [email protected] as username, and only name, but in this two cases i've one result.

[scout]

Sorry folks I help myself.

[daashag]

Great why don't you post your solution for other people that might have the same problem.

[scout]

OK, i replace my config settings in lines:

$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = 'my_setting';
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = 'my_setting';

on ''. Now I've:

$rcmail_config['username_domain'] = '';
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = '';

Strange solution, I know.

OK, this is the exact same problem i have now...but the solution of 'scout' doesn't do the trick. It suddenly went wrong on sunday morning??? This messages appeared in my error-log....

[11-Feb-2007 10:07:50 +0100] IMAP Error: Authentication for USER failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Login failed." in on line 0Does anyone has a (or the) solution?

[Jonn3]

Try setting $rcmail_config['auto_create_user'] = TRUE;

Mine was FALSE, so when I created a new domain and mailbox, it wouldn't create the folder structure...

Hi dear
i have the same problem for login to roundcube interface ...
the error log which shown is :
[02-Mar-2007 18:56:10 +0000] IMAP Error: Authentication for root failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Login failed: generic failure" in on line 0
I used it for localhost test ... I installed
cyrus-imapd-utils-2.2.12-6.fc4
cyrus-imapd-murder-2.2.12-6.fc4
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-6.fc4
cyrus-imapd-devel-2.2.12-6.fc4
cyrus-imapd-nntp-2.2.12-6.fc4
php-imap-5.0.4-10.5
