Rundcube login fails : "Login failed!"

[avi]

I have newly installed roundcube version 0.3.1, to work along with postfix-mysql and dovecot, the setup handles virtual domains. The system works with horde and squirrelmail. However, I am facing IMAP authentication issues with Roundcube login.

Php version is 5.2.1

This is the imap log produced by roundcube:

[23-Nov-2009 13:16:48 +0530]: S: * OK Dovecot ready.
[23-Nov-2009 13:16:48 +0530]: C: cp01 CAPABILITY

[23-Nov-2009 13:16:49 +0530]: S: a000 NO Authentication failed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the "error" file in the logs of Roundcube:

[23-Nov-2009 13:16:49 +0530]: IMAP Error: Authentication for [email protected] failed (AUTH): "a000 NO Authentication failed.^M
" (POST /roundcube/?_task=&_action=login)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made one change in the main.inc.php file

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

and in the db.inc.php file:

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://user:xxxxx@localhost/database';

where user has all rights to the database.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also created a file to register an alias in my web server, so that

//www.domain.com/roundcubemail points to the login page of roundcube.

In squirrelmail and in horde, my users login with "[email protected]", I have tried both
"user" and "[email protected]" login in roundcube, both have failed.

Further enquiries on google have revealed that there are issues with Roundcube and CRAM-MD5 authentication (Dovecot). I don't want to set Dovecot auth to plain.

Can anybody help me out with this?

Thanks.

There is only been one recent problem with CRAM-MD5 and RoundCube (#1486308 (imap_auth_type config value ignored) ? Roundcube Webmail) and that's been fixed in the latest SVN.

Thanks for the reply.

I made the necessary change as per #1486308 (imap_auth_type config value ignored) ? Roundcube Webmail. However, the same error pops up as mentioned earlier.

In addition to the above logs this is the dovecot log:

dovecot: Nov 23 15:22:52 Info: imap-login: Disconnected: user=, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured

I was able to to resolve the issue by using the PLAIN IMAP authentication option.

I also experience this problem but thanks for resolving...

I have a similar login problem.
In my case, Postfix log says the authentication was successful but Roundcube displays the "login failed" popup.

The connection between Postfix and Rouncube should be OK. If I enter a bad login mail.log says "LOGIN FAILED" and if it's good I get LOGIN and LOGOUT. In both cases Roundcube says "Login Failed"

I use MySQL / Plain text passwords and everything works OK from Outlook.

I fixed the error in my case setting auto_create_user to true (adding the value) in main.inc.php.
