Password Plugin - MySQL table?

[cmuser]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the Change Password Plugin, but having great difficulties.
I've manually created two DB fields in the users table, one called password and the other modified to get the query to work.
The query is

Code: [Select]

"SELECT update_passwd(%c, %u)"
I get a successful update message, but when i come to login again, the new password wont work and only the old one will.
If this because it has not connected/updated on the IMAP server?

I am connected to an IMAP server/courier.

Not sure what i am doing. Hope someone can assist.

Not sure what you mean by "manually created two DB fields in the users table" you shouldn't need to create the fields, you should change the query to modify your imap's servers password fields.

From what you've stated it looks like I am doing this integration of the Password Plugin all wrong.
My IMAP server is Courier - so how does one connect to change the password? Courier doesn't use a DB to store passwords, right?

Hope you can assist.

I don't use Courier so I don't know how it authenticates users.
