Hi, I don't think cdb has ever been a directly supported passdb/userdb. It was supported with dict driver, which has been removed. This is mentioned in the upgrading 2.3 -> 2.4 page, Dict passdb & userdb driver Use Lua authentication database instead. so if you want to continue with cdb, you should switch to lua. Or you can use sqlite instead. Aki _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
