Proxy with director accept only plain login

Hello, i'm test system dovecot (proxy with director) and backend
storage, auth LDAP server (user plain passwords)

If i use plain auth, work fine.

If connect DIGEST-MD5 or CRAM-MD5 proxy not redirect connection
(Requested DIGEST-MD5 scheme, but we have a NULL password)

So LDAP is the primary way of authenticating.

But you set password to empty and nopassword=yes. CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5
authentication requires that the server already knows the password. The only way
to make it work is to have proxy actually fully authenticate the user and then
login to Dovecot backend with a master password.
