Title: Email authentication error with eGroupware 1.4.002 & SME 7.0 - please help
Post by: SoftDux on December 24, 2007, 10:13:48 AM
Hi all

I have installed eGroupware, as per the wiki, on this page http://wiki.contribs.org/Egroupware

But it keeps on failing when I try and receive email.
I have setup my admin user, logged in & created a new user, test123@mydomain.com - this new user can send emails, and I receive them on my gmail & private email addresses. Yet, I cannot receive emails for this, or any other user account I setup.

When I logon to the webmail interface (https://sme/egroupware/felamimail/index.php) , I get the following:
Quote
The connection to the IMAP Server failed!!

NO, AUTHENTICATE failed: Authentication failed.

So, I have logged back into setup program to check the installation (https://sme/egroupware/setup/check_install.php), and see the following:
Quote
Checking extension pgsql is loaded or loadable: False
The pgsql extension is needed, if you plan to use a pgSQL database.
 Checking extension odbc is loaded or loadable: False
The odbc extension is needed, if you plan to use a MaxDB, MsSQL or Oracle database.
 Checking extension oci8 is loaded or loadable: False
The oci extension is needed, if you plan to use a Oracle database.

 Checking PEAR::Auth_SASL is installed: False
PEAR::Auth_SASL is needed by: EMailAdmin, felamimail. You can install it by running: pear install Auth_SASL

Thus, I tried to install pear-db (yum install pear-db & pear install Auth_SASL), but got some errors:

First and most obvious one is try to upgrade to a newer version of SME Server, since January 1st latest release in SME Server 7.3 (so already 3 minor revisions over your version).

Did you already restart your browser? Perhaps user credentials are cached somehow.

I don't see why I need to upgrade for this, as it's an authenctication error with eGroupware.

I am howerver going to install SME 7.3 as soon as I get new harddrives to put it on. Even so, I still don't think that's the problem, but thanx for the suggestion

The same Problem appears on SME-Server 7.3 too. Did you find any solution for this Error?

best Regards
