We are currently running qmail authenticating against OpenLDAP using nsswitch (not
qmail-ldap). It's time to replace the hardware so I thought I would upgrade to
qmail-ldap at the same time.
The new hardware is running qmail, qmail-ldap (20011001a), OpenLDAP (2.x),
Courier-IMAP, and SqWebMail. All is well except for auth_pop authenticating users
against LDAP (all users have a full system account - no virtual users).
The passwords are all in crypt format but some of them begin with {crypt} and others
begin with {CRYPT}. The capitalized version is not authenticated by auth_pop. In an
archived message dated November 25, 2001, this comment was made: "In qmail-ldap crypt
passwords start with {crypt} and not uppercase. Probably we should make those checks
caseless."
I would really like to have this change. I'm not a programmer, but could somebody
give me some basic instructions on how to make this change or how to work around this
problem. (I would prefer not changing encryption methods at this time.)
Thanks!
Mike
