* bug#5547: 23.1.92; nnimap not using .authinfo.gpg

I tried using gnus for gmail through imap and noticed that if I put the
following line in .authinfo.gpg (encrypted):

  machine imap.gmail.com login username@gmail.com password secret port 993

it is not used by nnimap.

However, if I put it in .authinfo it works as expected. Since I seem to
remember that Gnus encourages the use of auth-sources, I wonder if
someone can take a look at this to ensure all components of gnus can use
.authinfo.gpg

Thanks.

Leo

That should work.  Please:

- show your auth-sources variable.  It should be something like this:

((:source "~/authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t))

- set auth-source-debug to t and look in *Messages*.  Is it accessing
  the .gpg file and opening it?  What values does it print for the
  username and password?

- try with port "imaps" and without a port

Yes. I didn't touch this variable.

Where to set the port?

Thanks.

It may be a bug but I'm not sure where it's coming from.  It may be that
nnimap-open-connection is not prioritizing auth-source over
nnimap-authinfo-file.  Can you make sure nnimap-authinfo-file is nil?
Does it still fail in that case?  Finally, check

(auth-source-pick "any server" "any port")

What does it return?  The log messages are impying auth-source is
checking ~/.authinfo.

If none of this helps, look in nnimap-open-connection and trace the
sequence of events, it's pretty clear how it happens.

L> Where to set the port?

In the authinfo file, where it's '993' currently:

machine imap.gmail.com login username@gmail.com password secret port 993

...but that's not the problem, I think.  Try setting
auth-source-hide-passwords to nil anyhow and redo the attempt to ensure
your password is correct.

Setting nnimap-authinfo-file to nil fails in the same way as the default
value which points to ~/.authinfo.

This returns the value as in auth-sources.

The only success I have is to set nnimap-authinfo-file to ~/.authinfo.gpg.
Otherwise nothing is read.

Sorry I could not look into the problem further at the moment due to
other work. But I will come back to this maybe in May if it hasn't been
fixed. I have kept a note about this.

Thanks.

Hello,

I think this bug can be closed. I think the problem was I didn't use a
correct machine name for the configuration:

(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-server-address "imap.gmail.com")
                (nnimap-server-port 993))

The machine name should be gmail and not imap.gmail.com.

Thanks.

Leo
