I've got SASLAuthd working (via LDAP), and am also successfully able to telnet via port 25 with my LDAP credentials. Postfix is configured with Dovecot. All 3 services are running fine (Postfix, Dovecot, SASLAuthd)
I can also connect on port 143 however when I try to use "a login " it only applies PAM auth (ie. LDAP and presumably SASL isn't being recognized for IMAP)
Not vomiting configs yet (on Request)
postconf -a
outputs:
cyrus
dovecot
In the /var/log/mail.log I see Apr 9 01:36:22 localhost dovecot: auth-worker(18053): pam(user_x,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?)
.. Nothing in /var/log/mail.err
I have followed whatever docs I could get my hands. Additionally a history of what I have been through so far is here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/194204/ubuntu-postfix-open-ldap-integration-no-sasl-authentication-mechanisms/194560#194560
