[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-126?page=comments#action_12412066 ]
Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-126: --------------------------------------- The problem with APOP is that James currently does not store the user password in plain text but only an hash of the password itself. The verification algorythm for APOP need to know the plain text password to calculate the MD5 digest so to support APOP we should prior support different hashing algorythm and provide APOP only when the PLAIN (NONE) hash is chose. > Add support for APOP authentication protocol > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-126 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-126 > Project: James > Type: New Feature > Components: POP3Server > Versions: 2.1 > Environment: Operating System: Other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Matt Bishop > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.4.0 > > APOP is POP with an encrypted password.
