linking netinfo database to UW IMAP

[Anonymous]

I guess I don’t know what I missed. I have UW IMAP and Postfix installed and happy. I can telnet to them, the log files are finally happy. I just don’t understand how to have users that have been given permission in the Workgroup Manager have permission to send/retreve emails. I can not find any information on any websites and the article here gets you to the point where it is set up but never goes any further on explaining how to permit users to use it. 😀 (At least I think it didn’t) Thanks

Thanks, I thought that should be the situation. I am not using password server so I know that is not the problem. Still when I enter the information into OS X Mail I get the message,

“The IMAP server “192.168.1.99” rejected the password for the user “mkjellman””

I know I am typing the correct password and user because I can login with that information. The real interesting thing is that if I type a bogus login as the login it still gives the message above. What did I do wrong? (Why does this need to be so hard lol ) 😉

So if you are using a password server you’ll need to enable pam or ldap authentication for uwimap.

Does anyone have a set of instructions for adding pam support to uwimap on OSX? I need to use password server to facilitate sharing to Windows clients on the network. I have tried compiling with ./build NOSSL PASSWDTYPE=pam osx but all I get is the following error:

`cat CCTYPE` -c `cat CFLAGS` `cat OSCFLAGS` -c osdep.c
osdep.c:65: header file ‘security/pam_appl.h’ not found
osdep.c:114: undefined type, found `pam_handle_t’
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode
make[3]: *** [osdep.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [osx] Error 2
make[1]: *** [OSTYPE] Error 2
make: *** [osx] Error 2
😥

mkjellman describes my situation exactly. Mail.app repeatedly asks for the correct password and sometimes when I cancel gives me a user not found error, but usually give no further info. I have tried it with multiple users and passwords – nothing seems to authenticate. Any additional info would be appreciated.
