Topic: encrypted password

We recently moved our mail server to iredmail, however, i am not being able to get done with encrypted password on thrunderbird.

imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<something@example.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx, lip=xxx.xxx.xx.xx, TLS

while my search, i saw auth mechanism needed to be set on /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to be PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 to accept those but i still seem to get those error ,

Is there any solution for this, any suggestion?

Regards
Tikejhya

Re: encrypted password

*) Please try on debug mode in Dovecot (dovecot.conf) to see detailed log, paste here so that others can help troubleshoot.
*) Could you please show us a sample password stored in iRedMail SQL server? Do you prepend "{CRAM-MD5}" in password? Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes

thanks for clue,
checking log i found that cram-md5 was not type of password, it was crypt, i created cram-md5 and tested it works.

However is there any easier way to prepend whlie creating user?
i dont want to change all password to cram-md5 but i want to change it to be by default while creating new users.

How do you create user? Prepending a string should be easy enough.

Re: encrypted password

i use iredadmin/postfixadmin to create user.
"doveadm pw" gives me string, which worked after inserting into db.
