Strange behaviour with BLF-CRYPT and SHA*-CRYPT pasword schemas

6 Mar 2019


      Greetings,
this is less of a bug report or a help request, but we would like to know if
someone can explain the following:
Environment: Centos 7 with Dovecot 2.3.4-2
default_pass_scheme = BLF-CRYPT
password hash in database : BLF-CRYPT
login = works
default_pass_scheme = SHA512 or SHA256-CRYPT
password hash in database : BLF-CRYPT
login = also works
default_pass_scheme = BLF-CRYPT
password hash in database : SHA512-CRYPT
login = does not work
Can someone explain these discrepancies?

Kind regards,
Kristijan Savic
