Hi!
Currently, the passwords are stored in plaintext for my dovecot, as I
am
still using cram-md5 AND digest-md5.
I have still to offer that, as I have some deprecated clients,
therefore, I am unable to hash at least those passwords for that
accounts.
I've found on the Wiki:
In future it's possible that Dovecot could support multiple passwords
in different schemes for a single user.
Is there any news about this? Are there still any plans to support
this
maybe in future?
For my understanding, that would solve my problem, that I could define
a
password in both schemes (cram and digest) and don't have to use
plaintext password?
if you would read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRAM-MD5 and understand
how CRAM-MD5 works you would know that you just can't store cram
because the whole purpose is that it changes all the time
Maybe I am totally wrong,
but according to the Wiki, if I would be use using CRAM-MD5 without
DIGEST-MD5, the password could be stored not in plain text but instead
in a cram-md5 scheme?
At least, that had worked for me in a test setup. But I will have a
look.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
For example if you're going to use CRAM-MD5 authentication, the
password needs to be stored in either PLAIN or CRAM-MD5 scheme.
