I am currently using Postfix with Dovecot and Cyrus-SASL. I want to switch over to Dovecot SASL. The regular Dovecot user/password file is not the same as the file used by cyrus-sasl
I created a flat file that dovecot can use for SASL look-ups
the main benefit of dovecot SASL is that SMTP auth is using exactly the same users/passwords and auth-mechs as imap/pop3 - so i do not understand why you want create anything special
Because that is the way the system was originally configured. I had nothing to do with it.
The system uses a simple format:
user@doman.com password
The SASL mechanism presently in use uses:
user@hostname.domain.com password
Worse, the passwords are not the same in both instances. If I try to implement one system I will have to deal with all of the present users and get them all on the same page. That is not something I really want to invest time in right now.
If dovecot could be told to use a specific file then that would simplify things greatly. Besides, the SASL file does not need all of the information contained in the regular Dovecot user/passwd file. Otherwise, I might just give up on this entire endeavor.
