Hi all,
Got a question on configuring dovecot, I'm still new at this so I might be doing this all wrong.
I want dovecot to authenticate the mail client using CRAM-MD5 so I've setup the config in dovecot.conf:
auth default {
mechanisms = cram-md5 passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql-example.conf args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf }<snipped> }
In my dovecot-sql.conf I've setup the password scheme to be:
default_pass_scheme = MD5
Somehow this does not work, the error I see in the logfile is: auth-worker(default): password(info@richard5.tld,127.0.0.1): Requested CRAM-MD5 scheme, but we have only MD5
Is there a way to get this working or does this feature only works with passwords stored in plain text ?
Either use plain text, but this is NOT recommended, or dovecotpw: /path/to/dovecotpw -p plaintexpassword {CRAM-MD5}aba976aa6a7f048a82db01301075725bf42c6ad98f01a2747a853e0f479e25f8
Or w/o -p password, for the interactive mode.
