Postfix authentication failed

[altiris]

Tried

Code: Select all

openssl s_client -connect mail.mydomain.com:25 -starttls smtp

and

Code: Select all

openssl s_client -connect mail.mydomain.com:587 -starttls smtp

followed by EHLO mail.mydomain.com and then doing

Code: Select all

AUTH PLAIN mynamehere

and I got

Code: Select all

535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed:

So obviously something is going wrong in here. My settings in postfix when I ran those two commands above are here: http://pastebin.com/zTL3rQuc and incase this is useful, my master.cf is here: http://pastebin.com/WJ1H0Aef (I have some things from amavsid in here)

I can't guarantee that this will work, but I just tested something with my Postfix installation which allows me to authenticate successfully:

Obtain the Base64 encoded username/password using:

Code: Select all

perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\000MY_USERNAME\000MY_PASSWORD")'

then:

Code: Select all

openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect 127.0.0.1:587

it reported <CONNECTED 00000003> almost immediately then a few seconds later displayed all the certificate details, then:

Code: Select all

AUTH PLAIN <Base64 encoded username/password>

Good luck!

Tried that and I got a

Code: Select all

235 2.7.0 Authentication successful

so at least that is working. I have tried using gnutls-cli following here http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/tutorials/ ... -debugging , and I get this (for anyone else that wishes to help)

Code: Select all
