We are currently using postfix/cyrus-sasl and courier-imap/authlib
authentication against a fedora directory server. we are using clear text
passwords and everything is working perfectly. For various reasons we are
replacing the fedora-ds with Novell's eDirectory. We have been informed that
this won't support clear text passwords (whether due to configuration or
product capabilities, I don't know). So very shortly we will be
authenticating using encrypted passwords. I hope that this change will be
transparent and that cyrus-sasl and courier-authlib will simply query the
LDAP to obtain it's capabilities before setting up the session.

Am I being too optimistic?
If so, what changes will be required to our setup?

Mike
