Hello,

I am using the latest version of Dovecot on a FreeBSD box. I am trying to figure out which password scheme to use to comply with
my database backend which is administered by "postfix admin".

Here is an example of the password that can be generated in the
database using the various encryption schemes available in postfix
admin:

$1$a733fb07$/g1h6opQxemdWUtzD2/kQ. --> md5crypt 25f9e794323b453885f5181f1b624d0b --> md5 acFhkap78XB2I --> system

I am not certain I have understood very well how things all feet
together…

I have tried to modify the various options in dovecot-mysql.conf in
order to comply with these settings: I have updated "default_pass_scheme" to "PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and
CRYPT" but none of this seems to work.

Do I have to modify something in dovecot.conf? For the moment I have these settings:

auth default { mechanisms = plain login

passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf }

userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } }

The main idea is simply not to have cleatext passwd in the DB.

Thanks for your support.
