dovecot is setup on a system with MD5-CRYPT password scheme for all users, and I would like to update this to something that is secure, probably SSHA256-CRYPT, but I want to do this seamlessly without the users having to jump through any hoops.
The users are in mySQL (managed via postfixadmin) and the mailbox record simply stores the hash in the password field. Users access their accounts though IMAP MUAs or Roundcube.
How would I setup my system so that if a user logs in and still has a $1$ password (MD5-CRYPT) their password will be encoded to the new SHCEME and then the SQL row updated with the $5$ password instead? Something where they are redirected after authentication to a page that forces them to renter their password (or choose a new one) is acceptable.
And, while I am here, is it worthwhile to set the -r flag to a large number (like something over 100,000 which sets takes about 0.25 seconds to do on my machine)?
Hi,
you can convert password scheme during the login:
Thanks, I started to look into that and got stopped no the first step
userdb { driver = prefetch }
If I set that and reload dovecot users cannot login.
dovecot: auth: Fatal: userdb prefetch: No args are supported: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 4 secs): user=<>,
I don't see no prefetch in your config.
No, when I changed userdb { driver = passwd } to prefetch everything failed, so I changed it back immediately so people could login. That was the firs step on the page and I couldn’t get past it.
The error may indicate that you replaced driver = sql by driver = prefetch, which is wrong.
driver = sql is in the imap/sql section. The one I tried changing was the bare userdb declaration the just said driver - passwd.
I guess I need to ADD another userdb declaration for the prefetch.
Does the other int he file matter? I have local users stuff first and then the sql stuff later, but I’m not sure if that matters.
yes, userdb's are checked in the same order as they appear in the config file(s).
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Prefetch
The idea described on the Wiki page is:
During login, most often the same data is collected from the passdb as later from the userdb, therefore you can collect *all* information you would retrieve from userdb { } within passdb queries (that's why the home as userdb_home,
uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid, '%w' as userdb_plain_pass entries; the prefix userdb_ indicates that data) and store it for later use by the prefetch database.That's why the prefetch userdb has to preceed the other ones, because if the passdb query filled in the values, the later userdb entries are ignored.
So Place it first (or at least before all the sql stuff)?
yep.
You've noticed the '%w' as userdb_plain_pass ? That stores the plain password (if any) to the virtual prefetch userdb entry as field plain_pass.
OK.
Now, you are using two passdb's. the PAM passdb won't support this method, I guess.
No, I’m not expecting it to. the local users are mostly my admin accounts and I can just change the passwords on those manually without an issue.
I’ll keep at it. Thanks.
