Scalix IMAP login locking and SWA too!

[nwilson]

Hi guys,

I'm runnning Scalix 10.0.1 on Suse10 with openldap and postfix.
Everything was running perfectly until this morning when the servers ram decided to start locking up the server.
The ram has been changed, but after the ram was changed, I couldn't log into SWA.

SWA gets as far as " Logging in. Please wait..." and then just sits there and never returns an error.
If I do the same using Telnet and IMAP commands my session just locks up after "a01 login user password" it just sits there and looks at me, and never returns an error.

When I run /etc/init.d/scalix status I get the following.

Directory Relay Server Started 20:29:43

POP3 interface Started 20:29:44 0
Omscan Server Started 20:29:44 0
Archiver Started 20:29:44 0

It's definitely an IMAP problem, but I just can't work out what, as it was all working before the hanging issue.

I can login using telnet and pop3 without any problems, and view existing emails etc.

I've tried removing everything except my message store and re-installing, and then copying back my existing /var/opt/scalix/sys/pam.d/omslapdeng etc etc. and then restarting scalix, but still no joy.

I've run omscan -aA without any errors showing, I've tried stopping starting/restarting scalix and or just the imap daemon.

What other methods can I use to debug my IMAP problem, does anyone have any hints or tips, or constructive flames?

Thanks a lot!

Do you use external authentication like Active Directory or OpenLDAP ?

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.

Yes, all of my accounts are stored in an openldap database, and my scalix authenticates off of this database.
