dovecot - Jun 2012 - Authentication issue

Hi,

I need to set up a weird dovecot configuration:

1) outside a ssl tunnel I'd like to authenticate only with cram-md5 scheme
2) inside a ssl tunnel  I'd like to authenticate only with plain auth

The first is easily satisfied with

auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5
disable_plaintext_auth = yes

but I don't know how to satisfy the second condition, if it's possible.

Thanks for help,
Emiliano Rago

You might try to set up two instances of dovecot, one for plain, one for ssl:
