From Qmail-LDAP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The password for POP3/IMAP/SMTP authentication.

Default LDAP attribute name:

userPassword

Example:

userPassword: {MD5}uSI59Zyfa5lapBLGfJrD g==

Notes:

  • Can be encrypted with {SHA}, {SSHA}, {MD5}, {SMD5}, {MD4}, {RMD160}, {RMD160}, {NS-MTA-MD5}.
  • {crypt} crypt (without {crypt} prefix) or cleartext (only if compiled with -DCLEARTEXTPASSWD (a bad idea on production systems)).
  • If you rebind to the ldapserver don't use {NS-MTA-MD5}, {RMD160} and probably {MD4}. These algorithms are sometimes not supported by the LDAP servers, so check with their documentation.
  • To generate passwords you can use the included tool "digest".
