Hi! Currently, the passwords are stored in plaintext for my dovecot, as I am still using cram-md5 AND digest-md5. I have still to offer that, as I have some deprecated clients, therefore, I am unable to hash at least those passwords for that accounts.
I've found on the Wiki:
In future it's possible that Dovecot could support multiple passwords in different schemes for a single user.
Is there any news about this? Are there still any plans to support this maybe in future? For my understanding, that would solve my problem, that I could define a password in both schemes (cram and digest) and don't have to use plaintext password?
if you would read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRAM-MD5 and understand how CRAM-MD5 works you would know that you just can't store cram because the whole purpose is that it changes all the time
Maybe I am totally wrong, but according to the Wiki, if I would be use using CRAM-MD5 without DIGEST-MD5, the password could be stored not in plain text but instead in a cram-md5 scheme? At least, that had worked for me in a test setup. But I will have a look.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes For example if you're going to use CRAM-MD5 authentication, the password needs to be stored in either PLAIN or CRAM-MD5 scheme.
