Hi all,

I'm putting the finishing touches on authldap but need some feedback here. Am I correct in assuming that currently POP3 APOP only works if the password is stored cleartext in the database?

I don't see how we can support APOP with ldap. There's no shared secret, unless I store it cleartext in a separate field.... and I *don't* want to start such bad habits.

Is apop worth the effort at all? I don't use pop3 at all myself, but apop just doesn't seem like much of a security mechanism. I'd much rather invest my time in native start-tls capability.
