RE: [dspam-users] problem using the imap authentication module

I'm using mod_auth_imap successfully on Apache 2.2.3, and the only
difference in my config is that I have the following line in addition to
what you already have:

AuthBasicAuthoritative off

If I remember correctly, I didn't need this with Apache 2.0.x, but it was
required for 2.2.x.

Hope this helps.

Robert

Subject: [dspam-users] problem using the imap authentication module

Hi all,

Been lurking for some time now, learning DSPAM by setting it up on my
own server with some positive results.

But I'm still having issues with the webgui authentication. I'm using a
setup with virtual users and would like to re-use the authentication
I've got with postfix, courier IMAP.

The mod_auth_imap module looked like a promising solution but I'm unable
to get it working. I've tried contacting the author but he doesn't
respond to my emails.

I hope that you can help me out as I'm unable to find the cause of my
problem using Google.

The error I'm getting in the apache log is:
[Wed Oct 11 20:57:41 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (9)Bad file
descriptor: Could not open password file: (null)

I think I'm doing something wrong with the apache configuration as I
can't find this error message in the sourcecode.

This is the part from my httpd.conf that should matter:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Library/Apache2/htdocs/dspam"
    ServerName dspam.richard5.net
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
    ErrorLog /Library/Apache2/logs/dspam.error_log
    TransferLog /Library/Apache2/logs/dspam.access_log

    <Directory "/Library/Apache2/htdocs/dspam">
      Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
      AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
     DirectoryIndex dspam.cgi
        Auth_IMAP_Enabled on
        AuthType Basic
        Auth_IMAP_Authoritative on
        Auth_IMAP_Server 127.0.0.1
        Auth_IMAP_Port 143
        Auth_IMAP_Log on
        AuthName "DSPAM Control Center"
           Require valid-user
        Satisfy Any
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I've got my setup completely documented here:
http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/

And I'm currently working on documenting how to setup DSPAM on OS X
using my mailserver setup

Hope you can help,

Richard
