Dear Mehul,
Hi Rajiv,
This appears to be a config error w.r.t the PAM config. For more information as to why the authentication was refused, i suggest you view the entries in the /var/log/secure for the messages from pam.
Here's the relevant entry from /var/log/auth.log ----- May 11 04:23:54 www dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): check pass; user unknown May 11 04:23:54 www dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser= rhost=::ffff:122.169.50.85 May 11 04:23:54 www dovecot-auth: pam_succeed_if(dovecot:auth): error retrieving information about user mehul@thehappinesscompany.in -----
Also, in the broader sense, maybe you should look at using mysql tables for authentication, if ISPConfig supports it, as it will open less holes in the base system.
Yes it would indeed be a good idea. I have setup dovecot to use mysql to look into the tables but I am yet to figure out how the accounts created in ISPConfig would be stored in the table.
