Hello Everyone,

Internal case CPANEL-27452 is open to address reports of Webmail login attempts failing with the following error message when using Horde:

User [email protected] is not authorized for Horde (Host: IP).
I am monitoring the case and will update this thread with more information on the fix publication status as it becomes available. In the meantime, the following workaround is available to fix the issue:

1. Rename /home/USER/tmp/horde (USER represents an individual cPanel account's username) using File Manager or by entering the following command at the command line:

Code:
mv -v /home/USER/tmp/horde /home/USER/tmp/horde.deleted
Reminder: Replace USER with the affected cPanel account's username.

2. Reload Horde and confirm the login attempt succeeds.

3. Use File Manager or the command line to remove /home/USER/tmp/horde.deleted after confirming the Horde login succeeds.

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

This is fixed in cPanel & WHM version 82.0.3:

Fixed case CPANEL-27452: Fix bug in cpanel_php_fpm configuration where horde_lz4 extension was not loaded by making sure it does not load when not on php-fpm as well.

Let us know of any additional issues after updating to this version.

Thank you.

HELP! I wasn't having this problem until AFTER the update to 82.0.3 that I made today! I just started getting:

User [email protected] is not authorized for Horde (Host: *IP address*).

but only for users on the main domain of my vps (as in "vps.maindomain.com") which is where I get most of my own email. I wonder if I need to try the workaround/temporary fix?

Could you open a support ticket so we can examine your system and confirm there are no flaws with the 82.0.3 build? Post the ticket number here once it's opened and I'll link this thread to it and add a note to the ticket.

Thank you.

UPDATE: It solved itself. The "not authorized for Horde" error eventually changed to browser redirection errors, and after waiting a bit more, I'm finally able to have the mail display load fully, without the error or the problematic redirection attempts. I can do it in a browser with a clean cache and also in one that's been open this whole time. It was odd that while my main account/domain was throwing the "not authorized for Horde" error for all users, that other domains on my VPS had fully functional webmail. So unless you want me to, I won't open a ticket.

Thanks!

Hello @aztopdavid,

I'm not seeing reports of this issue on servers using version 82.0.3 on the cPanel Forums or in support tickets, however I encourage you to reply here if you notice this happen again in the future.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

An additional case, CPANEL-28473, is open to address an issue where Queueprocd is not restarted prior to certain tasks performed as part of the cPanel update process. This can lead to "is not authorized for Horde" errors like the ones reported in this thread after the cPanel update finishes.

I'll update this thread as soon as the fix is published.

Thank you.

Hello @cPanelMichael ,

I have the same problem - can't use horde/roundmail.


A login frame appears and info right bottom shows: Connection to the e-mail server failed.

Same if i start the Webmail from cPanel Account:
[I]User [email protected] is not authorized for Mail (Host: 85.xxx.xxx.xxx).[/I]

Workaround doesn't help, folder "horde" is new created with new entries in it after successfully login

CENTOS 6.10 virtuozzo v82.0.7

Groupware 5.2.22

Roundcube shows just the login frame, impossible to connect too.

Headache issue it is.

Hello @cetiner,

Do you have root access to the server? If so, can you open a support ticket so we can access the server to take a closer look? If you do not have root access, can you ask your hosting provider to open a ticket with us?

Thank you.

Ticket number “13093497” for further informations.

But maybe the solution is very near in front of my eyes so that i can't see it :rolleyes:

Hello,

To update, it looks like the issue in your ticket stemmed from conflicting installations of the operating system's sqlite RPM. Installing the correct RPM for the OS looks to have solved the issue by allowing additional RPM updates to succeed.

Thank you.
