Hello,
I'm running dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8. Since I have only a very small
number of user on that server, I have their names and password in text
files, no databases.
imap works both via webmail and via Kmail
Is it possible to have, for the same user, a plain unencrypted
password when connecting via imap on the local interface (needed, as I
understand it, to be squirrelmail compatible) and a DIGEST-MD5 one
when connecting via pop3s or imaps remotely?
TIA,
Marco

So the solution is to just store the passwords in DIGEST-MD5 format in the passwd-file and both DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN authentication works. Alternatively you can store also the passwords in plaintext in the passwd-file and then all current and future authentication mechanisms work with it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
