Hi everyone,I finally got motivated to move away from crypt passwords since on my system that limits the passwords to 8 characters. What I settled on was SHA, since it seems to be supported everywhere I need it. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work anywhere and I can't tell why. I store my account data in MySQL. I changed the contents of my encrypted password field (that was working 100% with crypt passwords) to look like this: {SHA}9afab6adfc0ec3d458fa314ddfd9b764e963144f
This is MySQL-specific hex-encoded passwords.For Courier to recognize SHA passwords, they have to be base64-encoded, not hex-encoded, like it's done by OpenLDAP, and other systems.
