I took suggestions from https://forge.puppet.com/fraenki/wforce to set these in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/95-auth.conf

auth_policy_server_url = http://localhost:8084/

auth_policy_hash_nonce = our_password

auth_policy_server_api_header = "Authorization: Basic hash_from_running_echo-n_base64"

auth_policy_server_timeout_msecs = 2000

auth_policy_hash_mech = sha256

auth_policy_request_attributes = login=%{requested_username} pwhash=%{hashed_password} remote=%{rip} device_id=%{client_id} protocol=%s

auth_policy_reject_on_fail = no

auth_policy_hash_truncate = 8

auth_policy_check_before_auth = yes

auth_policy_check_after_auth = yes

auth_policy_report_after_auth = yes

And auth_debug=yes

in /usr/local/etc/wforce.conf

webserver("0.0.0.0:8084", "our_password")

So when I run:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"login":"ouruser", "remote": "127.0.0.1", "pwhash":"our_password"}' http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=allow -u wforce:our_passwordi

{"msg": "", "r_attrs": {"defaultReturn": "1"}, "status": 0}

What's the value of wforce and super represent? -u for user? and super is the password for the user?

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=ping -u wforce:super

I always get:

{"status":"failure", "reason":"Unauthorized"}

Using Squirrelmail and logging in brings up the mails but I see these Policy server HTTP error: 401 Unauthorized errors over and over:
