Does Cyrus SASL support userdb authentication?

  • 772

I'm not finding anything that indicates it doesn't; I need to be able to authenticate virtual users. If not do I need to start using dovecot?

smtp postfix dovecot sasl cyrus

    Yes, it does.

    For example, to use ldap as an authentication mechanism, I start saslauthd like this:

    /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd -a ldap -O /etc/saslauthd.conf

    and here's content of /etc/saslauthd.conf:

    ldap_servers: ldap://127.0.0.1
ldap_version: 3
ldap_search_base: dc=domain,dc=vn
ldap_scope: sub
ldap_uidattr: cn
ldap_filter: cn=%u
ldap_auth_method: bind
ldap_bind_dn: cn=binder,ou=it,dc=domain,dc=vn
ldap_bind_pw: pa$$w0rd
