Dear Dovecot users/developers,

I installed dovecot, and want to use a sqlite database for users, and passwords.

I continuously get user authentication errors. I suspect that the problem is with a password hashing. I used

# doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT Enter new password: Retype new password: {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$1cCNWIMCTpuqmexO$cCq7nDEga1xza3967nZ.BFZaGWNoYwjnNfSCvZE/jGzYAY1hLWE1iHR1KYaO.mvVE4WVdDSrvPNtfwAUn/yk3/

to get a password hash.

I have this at the database:

sqlite> SELECT * from users; lev|logonex.eu|$6$1cCNWIMCTpuqmexO$cCq7nDEga1xza3967nZ.BFZaGWNoYwjnNfSCvZE/jGzYAY1hLWE1iHR1KYaO.mvVE4WVdDSrvPNtfwAUn/yk3/|/home/lev|1001|1001

I've tried adding this to the database, but still no luck. :-(

{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$kbUEfz/Mcgpctv/s$uNQGOL/2F01Br.vx0twozVi6v.KJAHZV0OQ7yOFwD9YCloh7UJmeFe7WrgUez9Q5xXdrNOU5q9H8fE3FU2ok9.

Could you please help me out what I'm doing wrong? I'm using dovecot version:

2.2.13

The other thing I want to avoid is the home directory and UID and GID. Is there any way for dovecot to use logical, non UNIX users so there's no need to have a user database and an sqlite database?

Thank you for your help. Levente
