Thanks.  If I were to change it to SHA, I'd just need to restart Apache to make the change take place?

Thanks.  I know it's better.  I'm just testing something with one user account, temporarily.

So, restarting Apache should implement the change?  If so, I tried that and it didn't work.

You're welcome.    I'm using version 1.2.0.

I have the following setting:

# Default password scheme: SSHA, PLAIN.
# SSHA is recommended.
default_pw_scheme = SHA

When I save the test user's password, I see the following output in the LDIF info displayed the URL:

....
uid: test3
userPassword: {SSHA}7/nxSBIiyutGm76YCvaaa2td4Y04ix+EBYFS+A==

Is there anything I need to do other than restart Apache?

Aha!!

libs/ldaplib/ldaputils.py:def generatePasswd(password, pwscheme='SSHA'):
libs/ldaplib/user.py:     self.passwd = ldaputils.generatePasswd(result[1], pwscheme=cfg.general.get('default_pw_scheme', 'SSHA'))
libs/ldaplib/user.py:     self.passwd = ldaputils.generatePasswd(result[1], pwscheme=cfg.general.get('default_pw_scheme', 'SSHA'))
libs/ldaplib/admin.py:  self.passwd = ldaputils.generatePasswd(result[1], pwscheme=cfg.general.get('default_pw_scheme', 'SSHA'))

Hi

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same problem but using iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-1.6.1.
I added default_pw_scheme = PLAIN to settings.ini and restarted apache2 but passwords for new users are still SSHA.
Suggestions?

Cheers!

'default_pw_scheme' in settings.ini is deprecated, update libs/settings.py instead:

# Default password scheme: SSHA, SHA, PLAIN.
# Must be a string. SSHA is recommended.
# To store passwords in plain text, please change below setting to 'PLAIN',
# no addition changes are required in iredmail, dovecot will detect password
# scheme automatically.
LDAP_DEFAULT_PASSWD_SCHEME = 'SSHA'

If you're using iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL, update below setting in libs/settings.py instead:

# Default password scheme: MD5, PLAIN.
#
# Passwords of new accounts (admin, user) will be crypted by specified scheme.
# - MD5: MD5 based salted password hash. e.g. '$1$ozdpg0V0$0fb643pVsPtHVPX8mCZYW/'.
# - PLAIN: Plain text.
#
# Reference:
#   - For dovecot-1.1.x, 1.2.x: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
#   - For dovecot-2.x: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
SQL_DEFAULT_PASSWD_SCHEME = 'MD5

# Prefix '{PLAIN}' in plain passwords: True, False.
#
# Required by dovecot if you want to store passwords as plain text.
# Password scheme can be overridden for each password by prefixing it with
# {SCHEME}, for example: {PLAIN}my_password.
# It's recommended to prefix it if you have some passwords stored in MD5 or
# other scheme, so that dovecot can detect scheme for each passwords.
SQL_PASSWD_PREFIX_SCHEME = True

Hm.. next problem..
Now I can't change passwords from Round Cube, is there a way to make Round Cube to use plain text as well?

Edit: I can change it but it changes back to SSHA
