Hi!

My "no" referred to the fact that I had not read the article before. =D

Thanks for linking it - I'm sure it will be very useful.

I've been terribly busy during the last couple of days and have therefore not 
been able to comment much on the list. I'll come back there as soon as things 
calm down a bit. =)

Yours,

Jyri

Moving or "upgrading" from MD5 to SSHA512

[Jyri Hovila [Turvamies.fi]]

Hello, world!

I have a long-running Dovecot & Postfix installation using PostgreSQL back-end.

Until now I've been using MD5 hashing but would like to "upgrade" to the salted 
SSHA512.

Is there a way to configure Dovecot so that it would automatically detect the 
type of the hash stored in the database, so that users who have changed their 
password (and thus being hashed with SHA512) and users still having an MD5 hash 
would both be able to authenticate at the same time?

Yours,

Jyri
