Certauth doesn't work with Imapauth

[Juliaria08]

The problem

When you are a user on a Imapauth configured server, you can't use Certauth, even if the module is loaded, it appears like Imapauth doesn't support Certauth, but I don't know.
CCing @deepend-tildeclub as he's the owner of the server :D

The cause

These authentication modules all hook into a module call OnLoginAttempt(). certauth either directly accepts the login or says "let someone else handle this". imapauth cannot do that since it first has to talk to the IMAP server, so it always does "I will handle this (later) - don't ask anyone else."

I think this should work if certauth is loaded before imapauth, but not the other way around. However, AFAIK messing with the module order in znc does not really work well and might get lost across a restart. Also, telling people "you first have to load module X and only afterwards load Y" is not really a solution. I just wanted to mention what is going on.

Then we wait, wrong?

Restart should not affect module order... I don't think the order is ever changed unless you specifically do something with loading/unloading modules. No guarantees though. And the order is not exposed very well in the UI, if at all Messing with the order is not a good solution, but a fine workaround until we figure something better ср, 8 июн. 2022 г., 17:39 Uli Schlachter ***@***.***>:

That we should wait, and that you should tell me if I were/am wrong.

You can try the workaround psychon mentioned. But feel free to wait, if that is your wish... ср, 8 июн. 2022 г., 18:17 Julian Marcos ***@***.***>:

Ok, I'll tell the admin about it 👍

The admin said me that he loaded CertAuth first, and it worked!!!!
