Well, short answer: You can't. Put them all to one place (eg. pgsql), maybe using some automated scripts. I don't know if I should even consider about supporting fallbacking..
Hi Timo, Thanks for your answer. The reason I came to dovcot is that I thought it was possible. I've benn researching this for weeks now. First thought that cyrus would do that, it does but though SASL and pam whitch I don't have.
How difficult would it be to implement a fallback?
Not very. I'm mostly concerned about what happens if the user exists in both authenticators. I guess normally this shouldn't happen, but you can't really guarantee that and mistakes happen..
If fallbacking happened only when user isn't found from first authenticator, that could work a bit more safely, but I'm not sure if I can know with PAM if check failed because user wasn't found or because password didn't match.
