Understanding And Troubleshooting Authentication Log Events

Resolution

IMAP And Authenticated SMTP [SSL] Example

  • For the examples below, the ZCS server being used has an ip address of 10.137.27.32 .
  • Note, I included the client IP address [10.16.245.217] of the IMAP client and also the -C2 flag for egrep to show 2 lines proceeding and after the match for ip and username. I also trimmed the output using the time I did the initial IMAP setup and used the -F option for grep because of the : character. [ | grep -F 'Jun 4 08:4' ]

Using the test account above, ajcody@ , I configured it to use IMAP [Use SSL option] and authenticated SMTP [SSL and "password" option] with Apple's Mail.App. My initially login creates these authentication events below.

First, to give you a general impression what logs will hold information on a username and the ip address the client is connection from. The -l option for grep/egrep will just list the files names that have a math to the search.

[root@zcs723 log]# egrep -l 'ajcody|10.16.245.217' /opt/zimbra/log/*
/opt/zimbra/log/2013_05_31.trace.log  << Because of my ZWC login session
/opt/zimbra/log/2013_06_04.trace.log  << Because of my ZWC login session
/opt/zimbra/log/access_log.2013-05-31 << Because of my ZWC login session
/opt/zimbra/log/access_log.2013-06-04 << Because of my ZWC login session
/opt/zimbra/log/audit.log
/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

[root@zcs723 log]# egrep -l 'ajcody|10.16.245.217' /var/log/*
## Removed not related matches because I've sshd into the server
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/maillog-20130602
/var/log/messages
/var/log/messages-20130602
/var/log/zimbra.log

Now to see what the events are. In the /opt/zimbra/log/audit.log file we have:

# grep egrep -C2 'ajcody|10.16.245.217' /opt/zimbra/log/audit.log | grep -F 'Jun  4 08:4'

IMAP Login Via Openssl - LOGIN TLS - Proxy Included

You would run from the CLI:

 openssl s_client -crlf -connect zcs806.DOMAIN.com:993

Once it shows "* OK IMAP4 ready" you'll be able to give the login command:

tag login proxylogtest@zcs806.DOMAIN.com PASSWORD

Another good example of this is at Access IMAP server from the command line using OpenSSL

The log events for this are:

$ egrep "192\.168\.27\.37|proxylogtest" * | grep "28 10"
