[Classpathx-javamail] CRAM-MD5 authentication to cyrus imapd fails

[Boris Folgmann]

Hi,

I use cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-8.1.RHEL4 on CentOS 4.6 on two different servers.
Both cyrus installations are mostly identical with SSL/TLS enabled. Both
are successfully used by mozilla mail clients for years now.

One is in my LAN and is configured with

sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

Using your javamail implementation I can successfully log in to my account:

Jul 25 16:48:43 gaia imap[15630]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher RC4-MD5
(128/128 bits new) no authentication
Jul 25 16:48:43 gaia imap[15630]: login: MY_PCNAME [MY_PCIP] boris
PLAIN+TLS User logged in

Using the same code log in fails to the other server which is located in
the Internet and requires the use of SASL for secure logins:

allowplaintext: no
sasl_mech_list: NOANONYMOUS NOPLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5

Here's the logfile:

Jul 25 17:28:52 osiris imap[12148]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher RC4-MD5
(128/128 bits new) no authentication
Jul 25 17:28:52 osiris imap[12148]: badlogin: MY_ROUTERNAME [MY_ROUTERIP]
CRAM-MD5 [SASL(-13): authentication failure: incorrect digest response]

My code gets this exception:

org.jpackage.mail.inet.imap.IMAPException: Client canceled authentication
        at
org.jpackage.mail.inet.imap.IMAPConnection.authenticate(IMAPConnection.java:736)

        at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:111)
        at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:94)

Unfortunately I'm still stuck with classpathx-mail-1.1.1-4jpp since
jpackage.org didn't release an update to 1.1.2.

My JDK is
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_16-b02, mixed mode)

With 'mail.debug=true' I get this on stdout:

I'm not sure if these missing files are really a problem. It seems that the
guys at jpackage.org didn't put them in the noarch.rpm.

I've seen in README.imap that you haven't tested with cyrus yet.

Any help appreciated. :-)
