I've only a private version of a HTTP-based passdb implemented for a customer. I'm not sure if I should bother adding something to be distributed with Dovecot, since I guess most people would want to modify it in some way anyway. Here's a somewhat modified version of it that hopefully works (at least it compiles): http://dovecot.org/patches/2.2/passdb-openam.c
