The passdb scheme doesn't matter if all your password entries have
{scheme} prefix. It doesn't hurt either though..

Hello,
I'm running dovecot 2.0.x on a centos 5.6 machine. This is a new
installation, I haven't even opened the firewall to it yet. I was
trying to telnet localhost 143 and 110 trying to authenticate a user.
I'm getting authentication failure in my maillog but no details.
Here's the one line I get in my maillog:

Here's how I constructed my users file:

:5000:5000::
My goal is to use this with a postfix virtual mailbox setup, the
postfix part is already in place. The mailbox base is
/var/spool/mail/vhosts and under that there's example.com which is the
domain and under that the various users one just called user for this
example. The Uid and Gid 5000 is the same one the postfix vmail user
is running as that's the user who handles the virtual mailbox domains.
I'm suspecting my issue is in my users file or the definition of it in
passwd-file{ i've been over the wiki for 2.0.x dovecot, this was
definitely worth the upgrade by the way, and thus far have not found
an answer.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Dave.
i am definitive not familar with file auth
but you can switch on more verbose debug logging in dovecot , this
should help finding bug reasons

Re: [Dovecot] dovecot authentication failing
Hello,
Thanks for all your replies. I reread the sites and made the following change:
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/passwd
}
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users
}
In passwd I have:
user:{SSHA512}hbLu+pCmhmtyKEwyAs3wv3kvHD/ryr0MoXOAq3VdB7X/g8qIE/xE9BG+eI4jhFk9pTyiCltPCjZxv5/+yK1wll2LNcw=
That should all be on one line. And in the users file I have:
user::uid:gid::HomeDirectory:Shell::
It seems to be working. Can I get an assessment, make sure that all is
looking right?
Thanks.
Dave.
