Hi,

I wanted to use auth_mysql mod in apache2 to use the admin table for authentication. I sucessfully did so before with the mailbox table because the password feel seems to be hashed in a way that the auth_mysql mod understands. Not so with the passwords in the admin table. What method is being used to hash the passwords there and is it something that is supported with auth_mysql. If not can I change how passwords are stored in the admin table to use the same scheme as they are stored in the mailbox table (i.e using CRYPT-SHA512 via doveadm pw).

Thanks.
