Hi,

Not sure if this is a PBKAC or not:-

root@ds3:/usr/share/postfixadmin# doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p password {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/

root@ds3:/usr/share/postfixadmin# doveadm pw -t {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/ -p password doveadm(root): Fatal: reverse password verification check failed: Password mismatch

root@ds3:/usr/share/postfixadmin# dovecot --version 2.2.9

It works ok with other schemes that i’ve tried (e.g. SSHA-512).

Is this a bug, or my mistake?

thanks

Jon

The simple answer may be to quote the password.

You must escape shell's meta characters, e.g., "{", "}", "$" and so on.

# doveadm pw -t '{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/' -p password {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$aUgGXP0UshkMj7hY$9JV4yMRsjIe/98CzmglYrMjf.9NJ.FXzxcLE9B0v3doCRUWo2wRncc6hg6VCs0DCUHQbeC/bRDZdGCge/nB/h/ (verified)

Tried quoting the hash in 'single quotes'? My guess is your shell is interpreting the $ character and trying to replace part of the hash with some (undefined) variable
