Save user passwords in clear text
Is it possible to save user passwords as clear text through dovecot? I am currently using MD5 passwords and I allow only "plain and login” mechanisms but I want to switch my database to clear text as this will give me the ability to use more mechanisms such as CRAM-MD5. Is this possible?
Thank you

I'm not sure if this is what you mean by saving passwords "through dovecot". But here's how to save a clear-text password when the passdb scheme is not plaintext.
Use the {PLAIN} prefix. Example:
10-auth.conf: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=cram-md5 username_format=%n /path/passdb }
/path/passdb: username:{PLAIN}secret
User "username" can log in with password "secret"

Someone tried to do something like that with:

Have a look at how schemes can be converted using postlogin scripts:

Thanks, but there is a problem though, last time I tried prefetch did not work with virtual
