Hi,
I have a little problem, I need to adapt a setup that currently uses the native MySQL PASSWORD() function to encrypt passwords for e-mail accounts.
I plan on using Dovecot with SQL to authenticate on my server, is there a password scheme that fits this authentication method?
Not really.. I guess you could use pam_mysql to check it. Or even a checkpassword script if that won't work. But using it directly as passdb sql would require Dovecot to know the mysql-password() scheme.
But if I compile dovecot with --with-mysql, would it not be possible for dovecot to learn the mysql-password() scheme?
I would really like to avoid using PAM - and the choice of PASSWORD() as authentication is really putting a stop to my plans
Thanks
