Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

If a system using SASL authentication via a MySQL database is upgraded from
Squeeze to Wheezy then it will stop working with no clear explanation.

In the configuration file (/etc/postfix/sasl/smtp.conf or equivalent for
other MTAs) the "auxprop_plugin: mysql" line has to be removed and replaced
with the following two lines due to a change in the way SQL plugins are
managed:

auxprop_plugin: sql
sql_engine: mysql

Also the SQL query needs to have “%u” replaced with “%u@%r” because we now
have user and realm provided separately.

This is now included in a NEWS.Debian file in the package, but I'm going
to add the below to the release notes.  Please follow-up ASAP if you
want adjustments made.

+    Configuration of SQL engine backends for Cyrus SASL, as provided in the
+    <systemitem role="package">libsasl2-modules-sql</systemitem> package, has

+sql_engine: mysql</screen>

+  <para>
+    In addition, the SQL query (if used) needs to have <literal>%u</literal>
