dovecot - Jan 2004 - DIGEST-MD5 Authentication

Hello,

I am confused by a problem I am having getting Dovecot to authenticate 
users with DIGEST-MD5. I am receiving the error message, "Unexpected 
service type in digest-uri". (cvs: mech-digest-md5.c, line 407)

From an examination of the code it is clear that a check is performed 
to see if the first component of a the digest-uri triplet is the 
string "imap". The service type surely is IMAP, and from what I can 
gather of the expected format of the digest-uri triplet from the 
comments in the code it should be the first component.

Is this just a case of inverted logic or am I mistaken ?

Thanks,

It works with Evolution and Cyrus-SASL client, so it can't be 
completely broken.. :) Maybe I should actually drop the check, since 
it's now hardcoded to IMAP it can't work with POP3..

You could check what string it actually compares it against by adding 
there some debug line:

i_warning("uri = '%s'", trim(uri[0]));
