Hi list
I am in the process of rebuilding one of the few emails servers I maintain.
Using the packages courier-pop, courier-authdaemon and courier-authmysql
(from sarge) we have a configuration which keeps all our user data in a mysql
database. Which is functioning on another server running (checked) the same
package versions.
courier-authdaemon=0.42.2-10
courier-authmysql=0.42.2-10
courier-pop=0.42.2-10
mysql-client=4.0.16-2
mysql-server=4.0.16-2
Because courier (seemingly) only understands CRYPT encrypted passwords i have
in the past used mysql's ENCRYPT () function to set the passwords in the
table.
Previously i have had no problems with this but today (as i reconfigure the
server) it seems that every time i run
UPDATE table SET password_crypt = ENCRYPT('passphrase') WHERE .....
or somesuch mysql inserts different data, e.g:
mysql>
UPDATE popbox SET password_crypt= ENCRYPT('passphrase') WHERE
local_part="david" AND domain_name ="domain.tld";
SELECT password_crypt FROM popbox WHERE local_part="david" AND
domain_name="domain.tld";
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
+----------------+
| password_crypt |
+----------------+
| P8wbA/tS5aY5E |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> UPDATE popbox SET password_crypt= ENCRYPT('passphrase') WHERE
local_part="david" AND domain_name ="domain.tld"; SELECT password_crypt FROM
popbox WHERE local_part="david" AND domain_name="domain.tld";
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
+----------------+
| password_crypt |
+----------------+
| T8bkeomjE6G8c |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
etc. as it happens none of these passwords seem to work with courier.
Could someone give me a pointer at how to get mysql "behaving" or, even better
a way to make courier accept the use of MD5sum passwords we also have stored.
Many thanks
