similar to: ldap SMD5 vs. CRYPT

Hello, I've just installed dovecot to replace courier-imap and I've found out it didn't support some of the typical LDAP userPassword schemes, so I've written some based on OpenSSL API. Furthermore I noticed that the MD5 one seems broken. If it isn't a requirement to ship its own implementation of a crypto algorithm, I would send in a patch to replace schema checks with

Hi, after getting dovecot working with PostgreSQL and plaintext passwords I tried to use md5 encrypted passwords with mozilla. www.roughtrade.net/dovecot says that Mozilla only supports CRAM-MD5 and that CRAM-MD5 is included in HEAD. Now I have two questions: 1) Is the md5 hash stored in passdb with cram-md5 the same as in digest-md5? 2) Is a new dovecot stable build planned within the next two

Since no-one have complained about previous RCs, I guess it's release time. Since -rc2 I added the ioloop.c assert fix, and 64bit Solaris fix. Here's the full change summary again: v0.99.10.6 2004-06-20 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> + SHA1 password support using OpenSSL crypto library + mail_extra_groups setting + maildir_stat_dirs setting + Added NAMESPACE capability and

v0.99.11 2004-09-04 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> + 127.* and ::1 IP addresses are treated as secured with disable_plaintext_auth = yes + auth_debug setting for extra authentication debugging + Some documentation and error message updates + Create PID file in /var/run/dovecot/master.pid + home setting is now optional in static userdb + Added mail setting to static userdb - After

Hi, I'm wondering what is dovecot's support for CRAM-MD5? The mailing list for November 2003 seems to indicate that Timo has included it into the CVS tree, however the ChangeLogs in the latest version does not say anything about it. The online docs has indicated that it's supported, but the doc files in 0.99.10.4 doesn't seem to mention about it.... Thanks in advance.

Hey all, A few minutes ago, I installed Dovecot, hoping things would get clear by just looking at the relevant config files, but since they don't, I hope someone here could give me a clue... What I want to achieve is really only basic functionality. It's just for personal use, so it shouldn't get too complicated. Up til now, I have been using fetchmail to get my mail off of several

Hi! I'm trying to use MD5 hashed password in a passwd-file (not the system one). I've set auth_userdb = passwd-file /my/passwd/file auth_passdb = passwd-file /my/passwd/file auth.txt additionally describes a syntax like: auth_userdb = passwd-file[34] /my/passwd/file to denote MD5 passwords in the file, but I've been unable to get any combination of using []'s after

Hi! I'm wondering how close Dovecot can be said to be to 1.0 "Final". How stable can the alpha branch be said to be? I was browsing around the Dovecot homepage, but I couldn't find any answer to this question. I hope it hasn't been asked (too many times) before. Fredrik Tolf

Hi, we are just testing postfix 2.3 in combination with its new dovecot SASL plugin. Now what we would like to have was dovecot SASL without acutally running dovecot ... The reason for this is because we have the "real" dovecot running on a different server than the postfix instance and it would be nice if it would not be necessary running an "full" dovecot on that server for

I'm currently setting up a large mail system, with different services split out onto different machines. What I want is this: machine1: dovecot smtp auth, no pop/imap machine2: dovecot lda, no pop/imap machine3: pop/imap, nothing else machine3 is obviously not the issue. Is there a way to run machine1 and machine2 with just their respective services, but no pop/imap? -- Marshal Newrock

Hi, due to compatibility issues with mail clients I think I have to use plain text authentication. In order to secure the passwords during their transport I'll use SSL encryption. After reading some documentation I think that I'll have to store the passwords as plain text in the authdb. That is something I dislike very much as it is a (imho) good tradition for unix to store only

Hey, is http://www.dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota.tar.gz supposed to work with maildir quota's for virtual mailboxes? Using it with dovecot-lda (cvs) results in DSN Your message was automatically rejected by Sieve, a mail filtering language. The following reason was given: Internal quota calculation error Thanks, Lieven -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

Hi, Is there any way to use something like OPIE (one-time passwords in everything, S/KEY) with dovecot? Here's what I want to do ultimately: * have an AUTH=XYZ method that relies on S/KEY as provided by the libpam-opie module (well, maybe not through pam) * have dovecot advertise authentication as follows: - local : PLAIN, XYZ - remote (encrypted) : EXTERNAL, and

This seems to be a common topic but I haven't seen anyone ask this exact question and get a decent answer: I use virtual mailboxes with all of the db's in LDAP. Last night I upgraded to the latest CVS version of dovecot and dovecot-lda and got global sieve filtering working by setting the global_script_path to a sieve like /home/vmail/mydomain/sieve and it works great. Now I need to

Some of the things that keep being brought up SEEM TO ME to be a form of IMAP crack that can be accomplished in a much more generalized manner with a little bit of thought. An idea I had a while back was for IMAP views. It accomplishes the four things I keep seeing on this list without being specific to any of them. Consider new configuration variables: rewrite Junk { folder = INBOX search =

Hi, Are there any big Dovecot sites (say 50,000-100,000) users on this list? What sort of hardware do you use. What sort of problems do you see? Many thanks, Jonathan.

Dear friends, We have samba-3.0.21c-1 under RH9 + openldap 2.3.11 under FC4. When a windows user changes his password using Ctrl-Alt-Del the password is stored on ldap in SSHA format but we need to work with CRYPT because we have some apps that don't support SSHA. These are the lines related with authentication defined in smb.conf: encrypt passwords = yes ldap passwd sync = Yes

Working with a dovecot migration, I am curious what version (if any) of Dovecot (dovecot-auth) supports SMD5 and ldap-MD5 when using Dovecot -> OpenLDAP direct binding? Thank you! Eric

Hello, I noticed with different MUA (at least Thunberdird and OutlookExpress) endmost characters beeing sometimes cut-off my mails, so I assume dovecot is affected in this. Is this a known bug?
