I had been using the CheckPassword authentication interface with dovecot 2.2.15, https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword, and it was working.
After upgrading to 2.2.33.2 CheckPassword no longer works. The referenced wiki page says,
Checkpassword Interface
Read <username> NUL <password> NUL from fd 3.I've checked the information read from fd 3 with 2.2.33.2 and I get <username> followed by 3 nulls. I'm guessing the 2nd null is supposed to be the password.
Why is this no longer working? How can I fix it?
THX --Mark Our CI has test
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, sys
DOVECOT_PW_FD = 3
def checkPassword(): with os.fdopen(DOVECOT_PW_FD, 'r') as s: data = s.read().split("\0") if data[0] != "testuser" or data[1] != "pass": return False os.environ["USER"] = data[0] os.environ["EXTRA"] = "userdb_uid=vmail userdb_gid=vmail" return True
if __name__ == "__main__": if not checkPassword(): sys.exit(1) os.execv(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[1:])
And it seems to work.
