[Dovecot] Re: ldap SMD5 vs. CRYPT

Hello,

am I right, that dovecot can't cope with ldap so authentification is handled by ldap itself? And, for that I have to use {CRYPT} and cannot use other mechanisms as {SMD5}

I rely on pam_ldap to do authentication with dovecot. This allows you to use any permitted authentication scheme from the following:

CRYPT UNIX SHA SSHA MD5 SMD5

Hope this helps!
