RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
- Set dnpass with encrypted password.
- Currently only plain password is accepted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- dovecot-2.3.16-2.el8
How reproducible:
- Not applicable
Additional info:
With reference to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6761851
Refer 4.7 4.7 Dovecot LDAP Authentication configuration.
(Add following configurations in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext file.)
..
dnpass = redhat
..
(Need a provision to replace plain text password with encrypted password).
I don't understand this request. Password can be encrypted (hash+salt) for example in /etc/shaddow file as it is checked in a way that hash of the salt+password must give same result. Dovecot is not the one checking value of dnspass, different service is. So dovecot does need the password in plaintext, so it can "enter" it to the service doing the verification.
