Hello list,
I run Dovecot with the vpopmail driver and have found that it
authenticates against the clear text password in the vpopmail
database. Is there a configuration option either at compile time, link
time, or a setting in one of the configuration files that tells the
program to authenticate against the hash instead of the clear text?
Prefix your passwords in vpopmail with {SCHEME} (like, {CRYPT})

Or use SQL - then you don't have to munge any of your tools.
password_query =
SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, pw_passwd AS password,
pw_dir as userdb_home, 89 as userdb_uid, 89 as userdb_gid
FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d' AND !(pw_gid &
8) AND !(pw_gid & 2) AND ('%r'!='<webserverip>' or !(pw_gid & 4))
pw_gid refers to the the binary vpopmail flags for disable POP, IMAP,
Webmail.

When configuring vpopmail for our purposes we use (now) the
configuration option:
--disable-many-domains Creates a table for each virtual domain instead of
storing all users in a single table.
Only valid for MySQL and PostgreSQL
This disallows (I think) the use Dovecot MySQL configuration file as every user
is stored in a domain table of the form 'mydomain_tld'.
So, we're limited to these configurations (no dovecot-mysql.conf.ext) :
passdb {
args = cache_key=%u webmail=127.0.0.1
driver = vpopmail
}
userdb {
args = cache_key=%u quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q
driver = vpopmail
}
If there is a clear text password (pw_clear_passwd) present it seems that
Dovecot will use that instead of using the hash (pw_passwd).
It seems that in the code 'passdb-vpopmail.c' (below) that if the clear
password (pw_clear_passwd) is present Dovecot skips the hashed password
(pw_passwd), and we want authentication against the hashed password.
<snippet>
if (vpopmail_is_disabled(auth_request, vpw)) {
auth_request_log_info(auth_request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB,
"%s disabled in vpopmail for this user",
auth_request->service);
password = NULL;
*result_r = PASSDB_RESULT_USER_DISABLED;
} else {
if (vpw->pw_clear_passwd != NULL &&
*vpw->pw_clear_passwd != '\0') {
password = t_strdup_noconst(vpw->pw_clear_passwd);
*cleartext = TRUE;
} else if (!*cleartext)
password = t_strdup_noconst(vpw->pw_passwd);
else
password = NULL;
*result_r = password != NULL ? PASSDB_RESULT_OK :
PASSDB_RESULT_SCHEME_NOT_AVAILABLE;
}
</snippet>
Looking for an option to make dovecot use hashed password instead of clear text.
Hope this makes sense.
