How to check smtp authentication is working or not ?
Hi experts,
I am using Linux Enterprise server 3.0 and running sendmail server.How would I know whether smtp authentication is working or not.Even if I dont create saslpasswd2 -c newuser, the users are able to log on.
This are the details of my configured files

Now that you can finish the test, you can see if auth is working.
Try sending a message both with the auth and without.

Hrm... something seems off... are you sure you rebuilt and restarted sendmail ?

Its already done.
So you re-ran the m4 command and it is still erroring ?
ASKER
yes
lets see what sendmail currently has configured ... can you run
sendmail -d0.1
Execute the following commands.. after entering the sendmail -O command below, the server will start adding extra logging
Type the commands that the telnet section had after doing the sendmail command below ...
service sendmail stop
sendmail –O LogLevel=14 –bs -Am
service sendmail start
finally, can you check for the following file in the same place you have the sendmail.mc file
site.config.m4
The following command might make it easier as it might be an a subdirectory:
find . -name site.config.m4 -exec cat {} \;
sendmail -d0.1
Execute the following commands.. after entering the sendmail -O command below, the server will start adding extra logging
Type the commands that the telnet section had after doing the sendmail command below ...
service sendmail stop
sendmail –O LogLevel=14 –bs -Am

site.config.m4

What steps should be taken for backup before doing the above procedure ?
Only the first line of the above comment I able to understood.
I did this
#sendmail -d0.1
Compiled with: DNSMAP HESIOD HES_GETMAILHOST LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX
MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6
NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = localhost
(canonical domain name) $j = localhost.localdomain
(subdomain name) $m = localdomain
(node name) $k = linux
==========================
Recipient names must be specified

The next set makes no changes... it simply runs sendmail in a local session and dumps the output to your terminal so we can see what it going on and the find command checks to see of the existance of site.config.m4 and displays it to the terminal

Here is a breakdown of the commands :)
Step 1 : Stop the existing sendmail process run as a service
service sendmail stop
Step 2: Issue the date command so we can see where in the logs to cut from:
date
Step 3: Execute sendmail manually, turning up the log level to its highest
sendmail -O LogLevel=14 -bD
Step 4: In another window, Run the commands that the Redhat document showed telnet windowin another window:
telnet 127.0.0.1 25
ehlo test
auth plain AHJvb3QAcmVkaGF0 (Put in the username/password auth string we created above with the python script) ie. a real user)
Step 5: Stop that sendmail we ran with a cntrl-c
Step 6: Restart sendmail
service sendmail start
Step 7: Show the output - Paste the output of the following file starting with where the date command above shows
cat /var/log/maillog
Step 8 : Paste the contents of /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
Step 1 : Stop the existing sendmail process run as a service
service sendmail stop
Step 2: Issue the date command so we can see where in the logs to cut from:
date
Step 3: Execute sendmail manually, turning up the log level to its highest

Step 7: Show the output - Paste the output of the following file starting with where the date command above shows

I will give it a look.
Thanx for the efforts.
Thanx for the efforts.
Additionally, I think we have come across the solution to your initial problem !
In your sendmail.mc file, you have
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS',
change it to :
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS',
The letter 'y' prohibits anonymous logins, which is why your people could send without authentication!

Thanx for patience.
Do you see where it says 'root and redhat' below ? Put your username/password in there. forexample, if your username is 'ibu1' and your password is 'hifrashii'
type : python
type : import base64
type : print base64.encodestring(''\000
type : ctrl-d
Output: AGlidTEAaGlmcmFzaGlp
it will output a string of characters, and that is what you use in the next section where is says
auth plain AGlidTEAaGlmcmFzaGlp
