I am installing a new postfix-cyrus mail server. I currently have cyrus-imap 1.6.24 authing PLAIN from /etc/shadow.
I wish to migrate the passwords(md5) from the shadow file to a mysql database and use this to auth PLAIN using TLS. Is there a script available to do so - to migrate the users from the shadow file and create the records for mysql authentication?
I did search, but found nothing.
First, I'd strongly suggest that you upgrade to a recent version of Cyrus, either 2.1.16 or 2.2.3. To do this, you'll need a recent version of SASL (I'd suggest 2.1.17). Then, you just configure Cyrus/SASL to authentication plaintext from /etc/shadow and have it autotransition passwords into the SQL auxprop plugin.
