Cyrus Imap and crypt SQL Passwords?

Wed Apr 13 07:05:25 EDT 2005

Hi,

thanks for the responses to all. But there is a problem still. I've
patched the cyrus-sasl-2.1.19 Version compiled and installed. So if I set
the parameter sasl_password_format: plaintext all is running. Is the
sasl_password_format: crypt set, then i can't authenticate against my
MySQL Database. The Database is a mysql version 4.0.21. I use phpMyAdmin
too. If I create a user in the database which function i have to use for
the password encryption. Is it MD5 or PASSWORD? Both won't work.

Thanks a lot
