Any experiences of IMAP/POP encryption of passwords?
I got the IMAP/POP server from
University of Washington at
http://www.washington.edu/imap/
and got it installed and working with standard plaintext passwords....
although I don't know where to find more informaiton on password encryption
choices and possibly more info & help files than the standard IMAP server
package I got.
It lists encryption of:
# The following extra authenticators are defined:
# krb Kerberos IV (client-only)
# gss GSSAPI/Kerberos V
# The following plaintext login types are defined:
# afs AFS authentication
# dce DCE authentication
# krb Kerberos IV (must also have krb as an extra authentication)
# std system standard
Netscape Communicator says "Server supports encrypted connections (SSL)"
but nothing else
Eudora says:
POP: Password (plaintext I assume), APOP, Kerberos, RPA
IMAP:Password (plaintext I assume) and CRAM_MD5
Whats a descent standard?
How can I get an IMAP/POP server to support encryption for netscape,
outlook and clients like eudora?
Thanks!
Dan
