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.
That works? Cool!
Will that store plaintext passwords in the SQL database, or will it store them encrypted?
The current plugin will store them as plaintext. There are patches out there which I believe will store them encrypted.
