Ken, Thanks for the reply. Yes, my new server is RH ES3 with all the most recent versions of Cyrus imap/sasl/postfix/mysql ...
Where do I read about autotransition into the SQL auxprop plugin? Does this mean that after I transition my existing users, I still need to create /etc/shadow entries in order to esatblish new accounts in thge mysql database. I planned to use webcyradm to manage accounts. thanks Shelley On Thu, 22 Jan 2004, Ken Murchison wrote: Shelley Waltz wrote: > 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.
