IMAP Account Failing

Post by nltui »

OTRS version: 5.0.17-01
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

I'm having a strange problem with an account I'm using for OTRS. I don't have any clue if this problem is being caused by OTRS or if it's an Exchange issue. The account for our help desk just stopped working. All of the sudden it can't authenticate to our organizations Exchange server. This happened a month ago and we had to delete the old account and create a new one.

The message I get is, "Message: IMAPS: Auth for user myuser@ad.mywork.edu/imap.mywork.edu failed!"

There are 4 other accounts configured on that server that don't have any problems, but they don't have anywhere the traffic that this one does.

The error from messages:

This is an Exchange issue. Exchange was reaching it's MAPI limit, because people had the mailbox mounted in Outlook, and MAPI will create several connections per session. Exchange will favor MAPI connections over all other connections, thus it was locking out the OTRS IMAP connection.
