GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 308209
SASL LOGIN mechanism protocol violation
Last modified: 2005-09-28 12:31:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: When using the SASL LOGIN method, Evolution sends the username as an initial response. According to my reading of the specification (such as it is; I had to dig for the expired draft-murchison-sasl-login I-D), this is not kosher; the login method begins with a server challenge, not a client initial response. Some versions of SASL server code will accept what Evolution does, but some apparently will not. I will attach a suggested fix. I am unfortunately not in a position to test this fix, but it seems trivial. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Created attachment 47963 [details] [review] Patch to correct use of SASL login mechanism
I can confirm that this patch fixes the problem I was having with SMTP AUTH (using LOGIN) on MIT's outgoing post server using evolution-data-server 1.2.1. Any word on when this patch might be applied to the main tree?
