http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887 Summary: Spec could better call out AUTH PLAIN parameters Product: Exim Version: N/A Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ni...@exim.org ReportedBy: exim-...@spodhuis.org CC: exim-dev@exim.org Section 34.3, "The PLAIN authentication mechanism", is perfectly clear, but needs to be searched for. The parameters for AUTH PLAIN are counter-intuitive, being authorization id, authentication id and then password. So while LOGIN uses $auth1 & $auth2 for password checks, PLAIN uses $auth2 & $auth3. A few places in the docs provide examples for LOGIN, which is the non-standard ad-hoc mechanism, whereas PLAIN is the standardised mechanism. I'll throw in a patch to add some refinements. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
