[Dovecot] Debugging password schemes
Hi, all. I managed to get my new password scheme routine written, but a couple of things: 1. The example module lacks an init routine. Since I used it as a model, my module also lacks one. As such, my newly-built module is seen but not registered. In the meantime, I moved the routines into password-scheme.c instead where I had access to all the MD5 routines already set up for me. 2. Once in password-scheme.c and modified to the point where it builds without warnings or errors and it doesn't gag on itself, it doesn't seem to work properly. What's the best way to debug password-scheme.c so I can see what's going on so I can fix things accordingly? I have to manually break apart the value stored in a database a bit differently than other salted values (it's using salted MD5 values a bit differently than normal). The password format from a Post.Office server, but apparently, Netscape Messaging Server uses this same format. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.

This issue is minor for now, but see below for more details. 2. Once in password-scheme.c and modified to the point where it builds without warnings or errors and it doesn't gag on itself, it doesn't seem to work properly. Fixed. Stupid mistake I completely failed to see, even after a lot of cleanup. Was passing the wrong value to a function (and it was an explicit constant value of 32 when it should have been 16!). And on that note, would there be interest in code to allow use of Post.Office/Netscape Messaging Server SMD5 values? Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.
