In particular, I have trouble understanding the purpose and usage of
the 'server_password' option with GSASL. How do I use this to
authenticate a single test user?
server_password is the password that the server is expecting for the
account,
in clear. Some auth methods (including the SCRAM family) deliberately
do not
pass the password over the wire, but only a proof of having it. This
requires that the server end know what it is, so we need
this option so that Exim can tell the auth library.
For archive completeness I'd like to mention that for SCRAM, the server
does not need to know the password itself, but just a salted and hashed
version of it, which can be set with server_skey instead of
server_password. For my simple test setup, I did not use this.
Best,
Martin
