Cyrus Admin Password

[Moofo]

Hi

I’m trying to use siradmin, and the credentials aren’t working.

I Tried

1. Changing the cyrusimap password – No go
2. Adding root to the list of admins – No go

What is the trick ?

EDIT: Nevermind… found it…

RTFM is the way I guess

Of course, imap needs to be enabled on your server.

You need to add an account to /etc/imapd.conf which IS main ebaled (in WGM, mail is enabled). Neither root or the cyrusimap user would have mail enabled, so they won’t work.
It’s also a good idea not to use a real mail account (one which a person uses).

So here’s a suggestion.
In WGM, add a non-admin user ‘SirAdmin’, give it a password and make sure mail is enabled for that user.
in /etc/imapd.conf change:
admins: cyrusimap
to
admins: cyrusimap siradmin

Stop/Start mail service

Then you should be able to use SirAdmin with your new siradmin account.
