[Courier-imap] encryption of passwords
Hi! I have virtual users in mysql database with plain text passwords. Now I'd like to encrypt passwords in database. Which kind I should use (ex. md5, encrypt), so imap courier as well as postfix and squirellmail understand encrypted passwords too? Regards, Krystian - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Which kind I should use (ex. md5, encrypt), so imap courier as well as postfix and squirellmail understand encrypted passwords too? I do use crypted passwords here, the classical crypt(3) way. MySQL has the ENCRYPT() function to do that. For Courier authlib, you'll need to set the MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD variable instead of MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD. If Courier handles these, Squirrelmail will, too, provided it uses Courier for authentication. For Postfix, it's a little more complicated, and out of the scope of this mailing list, I think. I suggest you join the #postfix channel on Freenode (irc.freenode.net), I hang by there and do use encrypted passwords with Postfix and Courier, using saslauthd and pam_mysql. I'd also advise you to do it step by step: Courier is the easiest to set up, so add a field to your database containing the crypted password, test with Courier, and only then try Postfix. SASL is a pain. -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] One2team - 12bis rue de la Pierre Levée - 75011 PARIS +33683877875, +33143381980 - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Please note that if you do this, you will be unable to use CRAM-MD5 authentication in Courier and Postfix, and DIGEST-MD5 authentication in Postfix. --Tonni -- Tonni Earnshaw tonni @ barlaeus.nl - Take Surveys.
