[Dovecot] pgsql and default_pass_scheme
Hello list,
I am running Dovecot 1.0-test46 on FreeBSD with PostgreSQL as backend, runs _very_ nice, but i can not set "default_pass_scheme = CRYPT" (only PLAIN) for PostgreSQL Auth in dovecot-pgsql.conf.
I have a valid entry in pg_hba.conf (and reloaded/restarted): "local mail mail crypt" If i replace crypt in pg_hba.conf with md5 it works also with plain in dovecot-pgsql.conf?

PS: sorry for my poore english.

You're misunderstanding something. pg_hba.conf only controls who can connect to PostgreSQL database. That is the connect setting in dovecot-pgsql.conf.
default_pass_scheme specifies in what format the passwords stored inside the database are.
The crypt/md5 entry in the pg_hba.conf means the format of the password what you gave in CREATE USER command. Dovecot doesn't need to know that, it needs the database password in plaintext.

I know.

the passwords are stored in PLAIN and in CRYPT.

ok, thanks.
