Dear Mehul,
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.
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.
Regards R. K. Rajeev

Hi, I am trying to setup ISPConfig 2.2.32 on CentOS 5.3 32-bit. I followed the how-to on howtoforge for CentOS 5.2[1]. The control panel is working and the emails are being delivered to the mailbox. But, I am unable to login via IMAP.1 Here's the output from telnet

Here's the logs for dovecot

I have checked that the username and password exist and are correct. I am not sure if dovecot should be authenticating using PAM or use some files or mysql. Any pointers to the solve the issue will be appreciated.
