Hi!
CRAM-MD5 only works if you return a credential, so you need to use
auth_passdb_lookup to return it with {PLAIN} prefix. It's not possible to use
Lua script to calculate it yourself.
There is also CRAM-MD5 password scheme, but calculating that is slightly
difficult, so i'd just return the PLAIN password from auth_passdb_lookup
instead.
