Only CRYPT works for my servers. How do I make other encryption types work with qmail?
I'm running RH8.0 boxes.

Envryption of the userPassword attribute is done by the LDAP server. The attribute is stored as {ENC_TYPE}HASH where ENC_TYPE is the valid encryption types supported by the LDAP server (CRYPT,MD5,SHA1 ...) and HASH is the encrypted password. QMAIL-LDAP simply attempts to bind to the LDAP server as the DN using the user supplied password. If it works the password is correct. QMAIL-LDAP doesn't need to know how the password was encrypted. This also allows you to have different encryption settings for users so you can migrate to a new scheme -Matt -- Matthew Crocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Crocker Communications, Inc.
