IMAP authentication failing

[ahuacatlan]

I'm using cyrus on Gentoo

When I try to login to roundcube:

Code Select Expand

IMAP Error: Authentication for testuser failed (AUTH): "a000 NO authentication failure
"Authentication for testuser failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Login only available under a layer"

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rcmail/program/include/rcmail.php on line 756

How might I fix this?

When I change

$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = NULL;
to
$rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = plain;

the error reduces to:

IMAP Error: Authentication for james failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Login only available under a layer"

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/rcmail/program/include/rcmail.php on line 756

It means that you have allowplaintext:no set in imapd.conf, which disables and plaintext authentication mechanism (either protocol specific or PLAIN/LOGIN) unless protected by an external layer (eg. SSL/TLS).

Not mine, just found it here.

Hi i just have here similar problem and courier-imap is accepting plain text auth..
in normal work...5 minutes working normaly and then (logged in) i get connect timeout to browser...
in logs is shown that roundcube cannot auth to imap server, but imap server is working and didnt get request from roundcube to auth...
BTW why is roundcube send login/logout 2-4times in every action i do in browser ? it cannot use 1 imap connection to logged user to every action ?
any suggestion ?

info: apache 2.2.9.5, php 5.2, courier-imapd 4.4.1, os FreeBSD 7.0

request didnt get to the imap server? can you telnet from the webserver to the imap? may be there is a firewall in way or something like that.

not a lot that can be done about the multiple connections as persistent connections arent supported the only possibility is to use something like IMAPProxy.org
