We are currently using postfix/cyrus-sasl and courier-imap/authlib authentication against a fedora directory server. we are using clear text passwords and everything is working perfectly. For various reasons we are replacing the fedora-ds with Novell's eDirectory. We have been informed that this won't support clear text passwords (whether due to configuration or product capabilities, I don't know). So very shortly we will be authenticating using encrypted passwords. I hope that this change will be transparent and that cyrus-sasl and courier-authlib will simply query the LDAP to obtain it's capabilities before setting up the session.Am I being too optimistic?
Yes, you are.
If so, what changes will be required to our setup?
It depends exactly on what "encrypted passwords" means. It could mean any one of different things.
1) LDAP connection using SSL2) Encrypted passwords held in the userPassword attribute, which will be accessible to the admin login courier-authlib uses to bind.
3) Encrypted passwords held in the userPassword attribute, not accessible.Depending on what your story is, different configuration changes will be required.
