Re: [pysieved] Authentication problem

[Koen Vermeer <koen at vermeer dot tv>]

I did some more testing, and it seems that the sasl authentication just
doesn't work with dovecot-auth. Did anyone actually managed to use this?

According to dovecot's docs, there should be some handshaking first. In
the pysieved file auth/sasl.py, I couldn't find anything resembling
that. Instead, pysieved just sends the authentication details, and reads
from the socket. So, in effect, it reads the handshake data, and
interprets that as the response to the authentication. Obviously, that
fails.

Do we need a dovecot-auth specific sasl.py?
