dovecot - Feb 2004 - auth_executable

Hi,

i am new to dovecot and i don't know what i can do with
the "auth_executable" setting in the "dovecot.conf" file.

Can i invoke an external program for authentification?
If yes, is there a description what this program/script has to do?

Thanks

Helmut

It's simply the path for Dovecot's dovecot-auth binary, if you had
placed it in non-standard location.

No, there's no way to do that yet. You could write a plugin for
dovecot-auh to allow it though.
