How to change default password format from SSHA to SSHA512?
« on: September 19, 2016, 01:38:57 AM »
I changed the following values in file /plugins/password/config.inc.php.

$config['password_dovecotpw_method'] = "SSHA512";
$config['password_crypt_hash'] = 'ssha512';

Still, If adding new account the password storing statrting with prefix as {SSHA},

I want to have a password in SSHA512 format including the prefix with {SSHA512}

It is already by default set to true, Do i need to restart dovecot to see the setting reflection ?

No restart is needed. How about:
$config['password_algorithm_prefix'] = '{SSHA512}';
What password driver are you using? What Roundcube version? What dovecot version?

I tried with that too...
Dovecot Version: 2.2.9
Rouncube: 1.2.0

I am using password plugin for Mysql provided in that bundle, It is still not working...
I changed in all the parameters to SSHA512 from SSHA, I don't know where i am making mistake...

Yes, Changed and Checked, But No Effect...
Still the password is in the same SSHA format...
I suspect if that password plugin is working or not, although i already activated by placing it in config.inc.php file.

What do you mean "is working or not"? Either you have the password UI or not. Enable sql_debug to see sql queries send to the database server. Execute dovecotpw in command line to make sure it returns valid result.

Hey Alec, Please don't take my word wrong, the password plugin is perfect and programmer is awesome too, I would like to thank Alec. The root cause of the issue is just now i got is dovecotpw command not found.

Do you have dovecot installed on this host? For dovecot 2.x the binary is doveadm (I think 'dovecot' may work too). Set password_dovecotpw option properly.

I really don't know if sha512-crypt is the same as ssha512. If it is, you may try to achieve the same without dovecot. Use %P instead of %D in password_query and set:

$config['password_algorithm'] = 'sha512-crypt';
$config['password_algorithm_prefix'] = '{SSHA512}';
