Problem with GETQUOTAROOT under proxyauth login
Dear all,
I am having some kind of troubles using the GETQUOTAROOT imap command under a login done through proxyauth.
I am using the following sequence :
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS CHILDREN BINARY LANGUAGE XSENDER X-NETSCAPE XSERVERINFO AUTH=PLAIN] imap.blabla.fr Ready
aa login admin admin
aa OK User logged in
aa proxyauth john.doe
aa OK Completed
aa getquotaroot inbox
aa NO Mailbox does not exist
aa logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
aa OK Completed
Please note the result of the GETQUOTAROOT command and read next sequence :
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS CHILDREN BINARY LANGUAGE XSENDER X-NETSCAPE XSERVERINFO AUTH=PLAIN] imap.blabla.fr Ready
aa login john.doe password
aa OK User logged in
aa getquotaroot inbox
* QUOTAROOT inbox user/john.doe
* QUOTA user/john.doe (STORAGE 229 102400)
aa OK Completed
So, we have two different replies, the second one being the correct one.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem ?
I am using MS 6.2 on Solaris 9.
Best regards.

Yep that would explain it.

Where does the 'admin' account reside? Is it on the same mailhost as the user in question?

I could write a book on things that aren't documented :)
Just for future reference, this is an example on how to use PLAIN authentication with the proxyauth user:
Get the Base64 encoded form of the string <USERNAME><ADMIN USER><ADMIN PASSWORD>
e.g. For user 'shjorth' and an admin user of 'admin' with password 'secret'
# /usr/local/bin/perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("shjorth\0admin\0secret")'
c2hqb3J0aABhZG1pbgBzZWNyZXQ=
# telnet myserver 143
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to myserver.aus.sun.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS CHILDREN BINARY UNSELECT LANGUAGE STARTTLS XSENDER X-NETSCAPE XSERVERINFO AUTH=PLAIN] myserver.aus.sun.com IMAP4 service (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007))
. AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
+
c2hqb3J0aABhZG1pbgBzZWNyZXQ=
. OK User logged in
. getquotaroot INBOX
* QUOTAROOT INBOX user/shjorth
* QUOTA user/shjorth (STORAGE 1663 10240)
. OK Completed
Obviously you shouldn't be passing the admin user & password over a clear-text non-secure link (use 993/SSL/IMAPS instead).
