Re: [SOGo] IMAP authentication
Hi, If that can help, my users can change their passwords with one tool : the "change password" option in Web interface. Users authenticate against LDAP and Dovecot too. I just need to give the same password for ldap entry and unix account.

However, I agree that authenticating against IMAP would be a fantastic feature. I don't use LDAP, and all the existing accounts on the system are real users (think /etc/passwd). Finding a way of authenticating users against LDAP or a database mean that my users need to store passwords in multiple places, and use multiple tools to change them. I looked over the code a bit to see if I could add it myself, but I'm a c-coder, and have never worked with Objective C (so I'll probably do something horribly wrong architecturally). However, someone with the appropriate knowledge could probably whip out a new authentication type in short order... If nobody's up for it, I guess I'll eventually learn Objective C and do it myself, but I'd really rather not :) Cheers, Scott -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

[SOGo] IMAP authentication
Hi, I am using Dovecot+Postfix+SOGo and I have users stored in SQL database. My SOGo is configured to authenticate users against this SQL database. But the same job is also done by Dovecot when authenticating user in IMAP session. Which means that two SQL queries are done (one by SOGo and one by Dovecot). Is is possible to configure SOGo to use SQL database only as directory and for authenticating try logging to IMAP? It is not only question of efficiency but also functionality – SOGo supports only few password schemes (plain, md5, sha) but in Dovecot it is possible to use much more schemes (as salted SHA etc.) and even using different schemes for different users – then in database is stored passwords like this: {SSHA}6gXLUWlbedBFt6oZATENFi3nUP9mkfNO It is possible to implement additional algorithms/schemes into SOGo, but it may be double work… So it would be nice if SOGo can authenticate users against Dovecot's auth socket (like Postfix does: smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth) or against IMAP.
