I cannot login as admin
country flaguser name
Germany
2007-07-04 08:32:44
I'm not able to log in with the password and account I have
got while 
running "http
://FQDN/mail/login.php?super=register".

What do you recommend me to verify ?

Thanks a lot !

What kind of authentication mechanisms do you use?
(Internal, mysql, 
pop3/imap4,ldap etc..)
If you're using internal, have you completed the
internal-init.php (or 
whatever the file is called) phase?

How about configtest.(php|pl) ? Is it reporting Ok ?

That is true, but it was Claude Frantz asking for help, not
me 

And you should take a look at your quoting, it's hairy

At first you have to build a keyfile:

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   /var/spool/amavis/maia/scripts/generate-key.pl > /var/spool/amavis/blowfish.key

After that you must set the path to your keyfile in maia.conf:

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  – Set $key_file line to read
 ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  $key_file="/var/spool/amavis/blowfish.key";

 At least you must spezifie the keyfile in your admin-panel under systemconfiguration:

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  /var/spool/amavis/blowfish.key

Or better yet, remove the key file and make sure both
entries are  
empty.    If you don't need the encryption, I wouldn't use
it.  It  
only prevents accidental reading of email by someone
directly in the  
database... unless you have a way to make sure only the
webserver can  
read the key for only the Maia application...   Anyone that
can  
access the key file can access the email.  And even then,
the  
superadmin can always turn on the option to read user's
email...    
The encryption feature is there for specific client that
requested  
for a specific situation;  I really don't find very useful
and it  
wastes CPU time.


OTOH, it would certainly be good to put Maia on an SSL host.
  That  
is accomplished outside of Maia, same as any other web
server  
application.
