Re: Password Mismatch when connecting from Email Client

[Dr Francis Greaves]

My dovecot-sql.conf.ext file has this line:

default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT

looking in the postfixadmin database passwords are encrypted

Use 
 
$CONF['encrypt'] = 'dovecot:MD5-CRYPT' 
$CONF['dovecotpw'] = "/path/to/doveadm pw"; 
 
in conf.inc.php of Postfixadmin.

Well my PostfixAdmin is setup like this:



$CONF['encrypt'] = 'md5crypt';



and dovecot default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT



So I would have thought that would match OK.



I have tried a password with just AlphaNumeric characters, no special chars but 
same error.

Password Mismatch when connecting from Email Client

[Dr Francis Greaves]

Dear All
I have
Postfix version 3.3.0, Dovecot Version 2.2.33.2 and PostfixAdmin
version 3.3.10 using MySQL on a small device running Ubuntu
VERSION="18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" for my internal LAN
Mail.

I have a user mailto:ad...@fsoft.nnet with a mailbox setup in
PostfixAdmin with a password as 'Test75?'

Everything is running fine, but I cannot get my Email Client
Thunderbird to connect.

I have setup the debugging to see that the correct password
is being used, which it is, but I have this error:

dovecot: auth-worker(26468):
sql(mailto:ad...@fsoft.nnet,10.6.10.10,): Password
mismatch (given password: Test75?)


showing that dovecot disagrees!!!

Why is this? Is it something to do with the permissions in
PostfixAdmin?

I did find 
https://serverfault.com/questions/696715/password-mismatch-in-dovecot-with-postafixadmin
 where someone had the same problem. He just tried various passwords until he 
found one that
worked I have not found any other post about this exact problem.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

Francis
