What configure options do I need for courier-authlib?

Looking throught the
SqWebMail configure options and the available courier-authlib options, I
tried:
--without-authuserdb
--without-authpam
--without-authpwd
--without-authshadow
--without-authldap
All fine, although there's no need to turn off things you don't need here
unless they cause compile-time errors. You can disable them at runtime by
removing from setting 'authmodulelist' in authdaemonrc
That's the one option that you need.
--without-authdaemonrc
--without-authdaemonvar
Noooo... don't do those!! Picking random configuration options is likely to
have very detrimental effects to your system.
I see now there are probably several more -without's I could have added, but
I'm assuming this is not my primary problem.
Well, that depends on what your primary problem looks like.
Then there is the question of how to use authtest. Is the userid supposed
to be of the form user@domain?
It's of whatever format your installation of vpopmail supports. Like Sam's
message says, we don't know anything about vpopmail here. (Actually I have
been on a vpopmail/qmail system recently, and it required logins of form
user@domain)
I tried this and also user%domain. No luck.
I get this output in the single-arg case with a valid user and domain:
ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Not a directory
Authentication FAILED: Not a directory
Well, that's the login trying to connect to authdaemond through its socket,
and finding that the socket directory does not exist. So clearly it doesn't
matter what username format you're trying - it's not getting that far.
Prior to adding --without-authdaemonrc and --without-authdaemonvar I was
getting
ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Authentication FAILED: No such file or directory
Does this mean I haven't fully disabled authdaemon?
No, it probably means you forgot to *start* authdaemon, and therefore it
didn't create the socket used for communication between the client and
authdaemon. It's an essential component.
So in summary:
./configure --with-authvchkpw && make && make install
/usr/local/sbin/authdaemond start # or wherever it's installed
authtest fo...@example.com
authtest fo...@example.com mypasswd

Once that's going, configure and install sqwebmail.
