Dear @modoboa,

Can you add supports of :

  • SCRAM-SHA-1
  • SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-256
  • SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-512
  • SCRAM-SHA-512-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA3-512
  • SCRAM-SHA3-512-PLUS

You can add too:

  • SCRAM-SHA-224
  • SCRAM-SHA-224-PLUS
  • SCRAM-SHA-384
  • SCRAM-SHA-384-PLUS

"When using the SASL SCRAM mechanism, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant SHOULD be preferred over the SCRAM-SHA-256 variant, and SHA-256 variants [RFC7677] SHOULD be preferred over SHA-1 variants [RFC5802]".

Hi,
thanks for your input.
Since modoboa is dependent on dovecot for the imap authentication, the method has to be supported by dovecot. And it seems only SCRAM-SHA-512 would be ok to implement.
