2.2-rc3 critique: FAILS '"' CONTAINING PASSWORDS!!!!

[Johannes Graumann]

Hi,

1) Completely fresh openpkg install/bootstrap
2) Create a new user
3) Try to use new user:
        a) admin interface works
        b) horde doesn't
        c) kontact doesn't
4) Investigate:
        a) manually bind to openldap:
        root# /kolab/bin/ldapsearch -b dc=graumanage,dc=net -s base -D 'cn=Johannes             
        Graumann,dc=graumanage,dc=net' -h 127.0.0.1 -x -w '<MYPASSWD>'

        Output in the shell:
         # extended LDIF
        #
        # LDAPv3
        # base <dc=graumanage,dc=net> with scope baseObject
        # filter: (objectclass=*)
        # requesting: ALL
        #
        
        # graumanage.net
        dn: dc=graumanage,dc=net
        dc: graumanage
        objectClass: top
        objectClass: domain
        
        # search result
        search: 2
        result: 0 Success
        
        # numResponses: 2
        # numEntries: 1
        b) equivalent output when observing slapd debugging (as advised here:   
        http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Server_Troubleshooting_-_LDAP)
        c) appropriate slapd debugging output when logging into admin interface
        d) NO slapd output when attempting to use horde
        e) only trace of horde login:
                tail /kolab/var/apache/log/horde/horde.log 
                Jun 18 22:14:05 HORDE [error] [horde] FAILED LOGIN for Johannes Graumann        
                [192.168.0.2] to Horde [pid 25084 on line 157 
                of "/kolab/var/kolab/www/horde/login.php"]
        ==> this looked up somewhere that the email given was linked to my name, 
                but still fails ...
        f) /kolab/bin/cyradm --user johannes.graumann at graumanage.net localhost
                  Password ...
                  IMAP password ... 
        FAILS
5) Partial solution to cyrus based problems:
        USE PASSWORD WITHOUT '"' and imap-based stuff just works!!!!?????
        ==> cyradmin login works (also with explicitly escaped '"')
        ==> much of kontact functionality therefore works
6) Remaining problems:
        a) No horde login - pointers for better troubleshooting?
        b) LDAP lookup from within kontact: still NO TLS or SSL
        c) call up contact: still one stalling progress bar for an unidentifiable
        connection to the server - what might this be?

Comments? Joh
