Interesting - just so I have this clear in my own head. The password scheme is the way the password is encrypted but the authentication mechanism is whether the password is sent encrypted as well?

Hello
I need to authenticate dovecot against openldap. OpenLdap's authentication method requires SHA. How must I set dovecot ? .. #mechanisms = plain SHA .. If I uncomment #mechanisms = plain SHA Dovecot doesn't start, the error: dovecot: auth(default): Unknown authentication mechanism 'SHA' You're confusing the difference between authentication mechanism and password scheme. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication
You want to use SHA1 as password scheme but still PLAIN mechanism.
