Hi guys, we're using Dovecot/Postfix here for our mail system. I'd like to
switch the `passdb` authentication on Dovecot from PAM over to a custom
implementation. We'd prefer to have some sort of script check the password with
an external IAM provider via HTTP. Is there any way we can accomplish this?
The idea is to have Dovecot somehow call a script or send a username/password
to some service, which checks the username/password against the identity
provider and returns a “yes/no” back to Dovecot.
`checkpassword` seems like it may work but I see no documentation on its API.

Hi!
Your best choice is to use a Lua script, see

Another option would be to use the pam interface in Dovecot, to
configure pam_script or pam_python and implement your authentication
code in bash or python.
