[Dovecot] Authentication

[Cyril Feraudet]

Hi all,

someone know if there is an easy way to call an external program to  
authenticate users ?


I've actually :

/var/mail/<domain>/<local_part>/Maildir
/var/mail/<domain>/<local_part>/.password

I wan't to login with <local_part>@<domain> with the content  
of .password file as password

For do that I've this in my dovecot.conf but no idea about password :

imap_listen = *
pop3_listen = *
imaps_listen = *
pop3s_listen = *
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
login = imap
login_user = mail
login = pop3
first_valid_uid = 8
last_valid_uid = 8
first_valid_gid = 8
last_valid_gid = 8
mail_extra_groups = mail
    default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = static uid=8 gid=8 home=/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir
auth_passdb = ??????
auth_user = mail


Regards

Cyril
