I’m sure this is straight forward but for once Google is failing me.
I’m trying to access an IMAP server with a Ruby script. The INMAP
server is using TLS and its working OK (I’ve test manually with
openssl). But this simple Ruby script can’t login:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require ‘net/imap’
require ‘openssl’
imap = Net::IMAP.new(‘exchange.ncc.dante.net’, port = 993, usessl =
true)
p imap.capability
#imap.authenticate(‘cram-md5’, ‘’, ‘’)
imap.authenticate(‘login’, ‘’, ‘’)
stuff that never gets runs yet …
The result is as below. ‘Capability’ works OK. I was expecting
“AUTH=LOGIN” as well, but I know ‘LOGIN’ does work as I can do it
manually with openssl s_client. Any ideas?
[toby@server]$ ./imap1.rb
[“IMAP4”, “IMAP4REV1”, “AUTH=NTLM”, “AUTH=GSSAPI”, “AUTH=PLAIN”, “IDLE”,
“NAMESPACE”, “LITERAL+”]
