Vincent,
I have rh7 and exactly the same situation -- pam_mysql, mysql and web
interface for user creation, which inserts necessary records to mysql tables
upon user creation.
As for pam_mysql -- the tricky part here may be that you have unneeded line
break in end of /etc/pam.d/imap file (I was fighting this for a couple of
days :)
Also, what format do you use in /etc/pam.d/imap ?
I have
auth optional ...(params for pammysql)...
account required ...(same params for pammysql)...
and worked just fine. Did you check /var/log/messages file? also, i'd
recommend #define DEBUG in pam_mysql.c so you can see whats going on.
Nick

Subject: Re: cyrus/pam tutorial?
This is great. I have been banging my head against the wall here.
Let me tell you what I want to do and you tell me if it even possible.
1. I moved to cyrus from UW because of the ability to create virtual
mailboxes
and sasl has worked fine
2, I also have a mysql database that contains user info and is also used to
authenticate
users for various parts of the website including my web based imap
client.
what I want to do is
1. combine the creation of cyrus mailboxes with record creation in the sql
db
2. have cyrus use pam_mysql to look up and authenticate passwords from the
sql database
are 1 or 2 possible ?
I have compiled pam_mysql as directed and tested it with pam module for the
sudo
and it definetely checks the database when I use it there. The same is not
true for imap,
no queries are made to the database and nothing seems to work except sasl
I am working on an intel redhat linux 7.1 system.
Thanks in advance.
