[Dovecot] Digest-MD5 authentication problems
Hello,
I have dovecot setup to pull passwords stored in plain from a database. My allowed authentication mechanisms are cram-md5 and digest-md5. Cram works but digest fails on my evolution client with and authentication failed. The server is running dovecot 0.99.14-1 on debian sarge. The user logging in is test@advanced-reality.com.
Some potentially relevant portions of dovecot.conf are: auth_mechanisms = digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_default_realm = auth_user = dovecot-auth
From the logs with auth_verbose = yes and auth_debug = yes in dovecot.conf: Mar 16 08:12:51 localhost dovecot-auth: PGSQL: Performing query: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'test' AND domain = 'advanced-reality.com' AND active IS TRUE Mar 16 08:12:51 localhost dovecot-auth: digest-md5(test@advanced-reality.com): password mismatch Mar 16 08:12:51 localhost pop3-login: Aborted login [64.81.224.97]
Some preliminary searching led me to this: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2003-November/002598.html
Is there a problem with digest-md5 in this version of dovecot? Any pointers on how to troubleshoot this further?
Any additional help is appreciated. Let me know if additional information is needed. Thanks

Are you returning the password as plaintext or as the digest-md5 password hash?
I've anyway done several fixes to DIGEST-MD5 since 0.99.x releases, upgrading to 1.0betas might help fix it..
