Token Returned, Authentication Error in mbsync about oauth2ms HOT 5 OPEN

@harishkrupo Thanks so much for tracking that down - I'm barely comfortable finding relevant code on github, and I'm less familiar with sourceforge (also, not knowing a lick of C doesn't help either). This is a good starting place - it might take me a while and I might have to learn a lot to work it out, but I at least have an idea of where to start looking.

I'll post anything I figure out here.

Comparing with the logs that you pasted, looks like this line in the mbsync code fails and here it looks like they are checking if xoauth2 is supported by sasl before trying that method. This probably means that the xoauth2 library is loaded correctly. I am not sure what else could be causing this. You can try the below options to debug further:

• One option would be try the troubleshooting options given here: https://www.cyrusimap.org/sasl/sasl/sysadmin.html#troubleshooting.
• Another definite way to figure out the reason would be to build debug versions of mbsync/cyrus-sasl/cyrus-sasl-xoauth2 yourself and try to step through the code. This might be a bit difficult and time consuming but will certainly help you solve the problem

Sorry, I don't use MacOS so I am unable to help much. Let me know if you find the solution, It will help others too. If you are stuck somewhere, please post here. I might be able to help :)

Note: --encode-xoath2 is not needed for passcmd. The token is encoded internally.

Hi! Wondering if anyone figured anything out. I would love to use this plugin on Mac OS.

bump, same issue here... @jpowellrussell did you ever resolve this?

I think I've got a lead on this one (despite also sucking at C). Try to 1) run mbsync despite the error, and then 2) check your syslog file; since I am using linux mint for me that's less /var/log/syslog. You should see this message

mypcname sasl-xoauth2: auth failed: 2022-07-24 18:05:22: TokenStore::Read: failed to open file <<my token>>

My conclusion is that the sasl-xoauth2 plugin is waiting for a file but is receiving the token from oauth2ms in another format (a string perhaps) and thus returns an error. Any thoughts?
