CentOS - Jul 2008 - Cyrus + Ldap...

Hi,

I have a server running with Centos 5.1  and:

Cyrus: Lan POP and IMAP server  both with SSL and plain and login mechanisms

LDAP with SSL + SASL

User passwords in LDAP are encrypted.

Everything works fine. But I'd want to reduce overhead due SSL and
change to Cyrus with md5 mechanism (or another nonplain mechanism) Can
I do that? Please bear in mind, that I don't want to use
non-encrypyted passwords on LDAP.

Thanks in advance!

I'm facing a similar problem. I've migrated an old NIS server (yeah,
believe me they still exist) to OpenLDAP. The passwords are encrypted
using the old crypt() function. I was hitting my head against the wall
to try to figure a way to make md5 mechanism to work using like you,
but I believe there is no way. It will work only if the password
stored in md5, IMHO.

Could some one confirm this?

Regards,

Miguel
