Re: is dovecot 2.3.20 compatible with YESCRYPT?

To Whom It May Concern,

Fedora 38 uses YESCRYPT by default to create the passwords stored in "shadow". The prefix is "$y$". 

Ref: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/password_schemes...

The nearest supported password scheme is blowfish. 

Can dovecot 2.3.20 read passwords created with YESCRYPT?

Hi!

If the scheme is {CRYPT}, it should end up by default into crypt(), so if it supports $y$, it should work. But unfortunately dovecot can't create those passwords, so you need to generate yourself.
