[field #9] Summary: Login Email authentication problem in 0.9.16RC3
[field #10] Original Submission: I m trying to set up email authentication using 0.9.16RC3 of phpGroupware (On Fedora 1

with phpGroupware on MySql). I got the system set up correctly for SQL authentication,

created groups, users and set up the administration email parameters using IMAP (and

POP3) with ip instead of server names for the imap and smpt server. I then tested that

I can access the email application (site configuration) without setting special

preferences for the admin user. I sent out a test email without any problems. I did

not configure email further because my objective is not to use email inside

phpGrpupware but to authenticate users so they have just one password for email, samba

and groupware. I access phpGroupware using SSL.



I get a warning at the top of the page when I access the email app, like this:



Warning: imap_open(): Couldn t open stream {10.2.252.2:143}INBOX in

/opt/phpgroupware/email/inc/class.mail_dcom_imap.inc.php on line 214



but it seems to work. This happens with IMAP/Courier/Standard login (and any IMAP

combination). If I change it to POP-3/Courier/Standard the warning goes away the first

time I access the email app, but makes no difference to my main problem of

authenticating users. If I log in again with POP-3 configured and use the email app, I

get this error and it does not work at all:



Warning: imap_open(): Couldn t open stream {10.2.252.2:110/pop3}INBOX in

/opt/phpgroupware/email/inc/class.mail_dcom_pop3.inc.php on line 184

/C=--/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=SomeOrganization/OU=SomeOrganizationalUnit/CN=localhost.localdomain/emailAddress=root@localhost.localdomain]

tried RH bug recovery?: [1]



When I switch the preferences to authenticate with Mail (having IMAP defined) I can t

log in. By looking at the logs I get the feeling that phpGroupware is not sending the

mail server (the same physical server) the user name. This is what the

/var/log/maillog shows (having IMAP in the email administration setup):



Feb 26 23:32:44 TBNET imapd[24585]: imap service init from 10.2.252.2

Feb 26 23:34:32 TBNET imapd[24587]: Command stream end of file, while reading line

user=??? host=UNKNOWN



The first lines show access from within the email application. The last lines show

where I tried to log in twice (in case I made a mistake with the password).



This happens when I have POP-3 set up:



Feb 27 00:27:40 TBNET ipop3d[24991]: pop3 service init from 10.2.252.2

Feb 27 00:27:40 TBNET ipop3d[24991]: Command stream end of file while reading line

Feb 27 00:27:51 TBNET ipop3d[24992]: pop3 service init from 10.2.252.2

Feb 27 00:27:51 TBNET ipop3d[24992]: Command stream end of file while reading line

user=??? host=UNKNOWN



I checked with telnet to port 110 that the user is able to log in.



I m curious about the user=??? message.



Any ideas of what could be wrong? Are the IMAP errors (when having POP-3 defined)

somehow related to the fact that I use SSL?



Miguel



P.S. I m not new to email login authentication. I had this working with version 0.9.14.00x (I believe x was 5) on Red Hat 7.3

Great! This was solved by the patch to class.auth_mail.inc.php as per the other post.

RH changed the IMAP libs, it now forces TLS when you don't ask for it.  The code needs edited to force the /notls request (which is against the standards I might add).  There is a recent email to the users list that covers what's needed.
