Login Failed - Resource id #25

[Randy Abel]

Thank you for the response.

Turns out that the "auto_create_user" config option doesn't really mean 
what I thought it meant.  I suppose there's a certain argument to be had 
to say that the config file description for this parameter isn't quite 
clear, but I'm happy to admit that I'm not clever enough for this.

In any event, if one sets the auto_create_user parameter to "false", 
which is what I did when I was first configuring RoundCube, that means 
that RoundCube will not auto create users in the RoundCube DATABASE.  I 
had assumed this meant something like, "Gee, if someone tries to login 
with a completely random user id and password, go ahead and let them 
in!  This is the people's e-mail server, man!  Anyone can use it!"

Of course, that did seem a little strange to me at the time, so I set 
this value to "FALSE" meaning, "I only want the users that are already 
authorized in my IMAP server to be able to log in."

So, my confusion.  Set the auto_create_user to TRUE and now everything 
is working great.

Thank you!

Randy
