Good afternoon,
I am trying to setup dovecot to authenticate using the userdata from wordpress. It's being a bit mor difficult than I thought. This is the relevant part of the dovecot-sql.conf
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT user_pass AS password FROM wp_users WHERE user_email='%u'; user_query = SELECT 501 as uid, 501 as gid,'maildir:storage=51200' as quota FROM wp_users WHERE user_email = '%u'
I can see that the query is being procecessed according to the logs.
Wordpress and others are using phpass to authenticate (http://www.openwall.com/phpass/), it is basically a salted md5 hash. Basically, after the process, a hash like this is obtained.
$P$BiWISc3IsqRHxeEjq4VJP1Vi8gy4mg1 (for test123 password)
I would like to know if dovecot would be able to read this, otherwise I could still make a custom checkpassword function but that would be non-optimal.
Could someone guide me on this? If you need more details just ask.
Thanks a lot,
joan
