Hi,
Thnx for reply. But still confused. Dovecot says: 'Requested DIGEST-MD5 scheme, but we have only PLAIN-MD5'
However in my configs, i have enabled the digest-md5 already: mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 digest-md5
So why it says that we have only PLAIN-MD5 ??? Plz seuggest ... In your database you store the MD5 sum of your passwords. This only allows you to use plain and login authentication, because digest-md5 and cram-md5 can't work for technical reasons, when the passwords are already stored as MD5 sums. Please read here:
"With non-plaintext authentication mechanisms http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms you either have to store the password in a mechanism-specific format (which is incompatible with all other auth mechanisms except plaintext ones), or you'll have to store the passwords as plaintext. For example if you're going to use CRAM-MD5 authentication, the password needs to be in plaintext format or in CRAM-MD5 format. If you want to allow both CRAM-MD5 and *DIGEST*-MD5, the password must be stored in plaintext." http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
