Dear All,
I have created apache2 module that allows web users to authenticate against dovecot auth daemon. It connect to dovecot authentication client socket. Currently implemented mechanism is plaintext PLAIN. Currently there are no plans to support any other as only thing that i have created in apache module is "Basic" auth. Source code can be downloaded from; http://github.com/bmanojlovic/mod_authn_dovecot or tagged version v0.1 from: http://github.com/bmanojlovic/mod_authn_dovecot/tarball/v0.1
Currently built RPMS can be downloaded from OpenSUSE build service URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bmanojlovic/<Distribution of choice>
Please comment or raise issues if you think it is useful or full of bugs :).
