Solved (partially): SASL problems with Postfix Authlogin

[roint]

I'm having trouble using postfix with authentication.

Also using the Guardian Digital Webtool, the boot state for SASLAUTHD is disabled and won't toggle to enabled. I can click on the "current state" to toggle it to running.

When I start a telnet session:

Code: Select all

Connected to abc.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 abc.com ESMTP Postfix
ehlo test.com
250-abc.com
250-PIPELINING

250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH NTLM DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=NTLM DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

250 DSN

dGVzdG5hbWU=
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
dGVzdHdvcmQ=
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure


I'm putting in the username without "@abc.org"

Trying to follow instructions, I can't find the file smtp.conf for SASL or the file /etc/pam.d/sasl . From what I've read, the file should be located /usr/lib/sasl/smtp.conf. The closest I come is /usr/lib/sasl2 with no smdp.conf file.


Engarde doesn't seem to let me re-install sasl.

Any help?

Thanks.

Still can't toggle the boot state for saslauth in the Web tool.

I did manage to get authorization to work by chmod a+rx /var/run/saslauthd

This doesn't sound like correct way to get things working. Any suggestions for better solution?
