IMAP-SSL Issues

[squeezer]

Hello everyone:

I have a Windows 2008 x86-64 server running IIS 7 that I'm configuring with a fresh install of Cerberus. ( Version 4.0 RC1 (Build 605) )

I am attempting to set up a few email accounts using IMAP-SSL, connecting to our organization's 2003 Exchange server, but I am receiving the following message:

Account being parsed is BAFSystems
Time Limit: unlimited secs
Memory Limit: 64M
Failed with error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)
Account being parsed is HRS People Admin Development
Time Limit: unlimited secs
Memory Limit: 64M
Failed with error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)
.... and this continues for the remaining accounts.
From the helpdesk server, I have successfully connected to the Exchange server via telnet/port 993, and ping is working too. Incidentally, I can also connect to the server's web interface.

On the forums, a few people have mentioned that one way around a similar issue is to recompile the PHP_IMAP DLL, but they have only said this in context of the Kerberos issues in Exchange 2007.

Please help!

Thanks,

-mike

There's a report of broken ssl in php_imap here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36496&edit=1 What version of PHP are you on?

There's comments on server-side timeouts here: https://support.mayfirst.org/ticket/505

I am on PHP 5.2.6, using the standard binaries from php.net. I noticed that in my phpinfo.php file, that under the IMAP section, the Kerberos line is missing.
imap
IMAP c-Client Version 2004
SSL Support enabled
so this seems like a good place to start.

My dev box runs Fedora Core and I had no problems connecting to the same server via IMAP-SSL, but it DID have Kerberos enabled. This makes me think there is a problem with my PHP distribution.

Do you have a kerberos-enabled php_imap DLL (or else an entire for-windows compiled version of PHP) I could try swapping in? Or could you help me enable kerberos in PHP?

Thanks,

I just wanted to double check there wasn't any additional information needed on this topic.. just let me know. Thanks,

Sorry, Mike, didn't see your response earlier in the day. Not having Kerberos in the php_imap could certainly be a problem... What so the two imap sections look like from your phpinfo pages? Mine (on a windows dev box, XAMPP install of PHP) looks like:
IMAP c-Client Version 2004
SSL Support enabled
although I don't specifically recall ever connecting to an Exchange server from this machine.

On the LAMP machine, running PHP 5.2.3, the IMAP section looks like this
imap
IMAP c-Client Version 2004
SSL Support enabled
Kerberos Support enabled

On the Windows machine (WIMP? :) ), running 5.2.6, the IMAP section looks like this
imap
IMAP c-Client Version 2004
SSL Support enabled

I tested connecting to a GMail account via IMAP-SSL and had no problems. When I tried connecting to our exchange servers, however, the same issues resurfaced.

Whoops! That was a typo, the Linux machine is running PHP 5.2.4. Not that it probably matters too much.

Thanks.
