I'm setting up Postfix Admin 2.91 and trying to use dovecot:SHA512-CRYPT for password hashing. In config.inc.php I have set:
// dovecot:CRYPT-METHOD = use dovecotpw -s 'CRYPT-METHOD'. Example: dovecot:CRAM-MD5
// (WARNING: don't use dovecot:* methods that include the username in the hash - you won't be able to login to PostfixAdmin in this case)
$CONF['encrypt'] = 'dovecot:SHA512-CRYPT';
// If you use the dovecot encryption method: where is the dovecotpw binary located?
// for dovecot 1.x
// $CONF['dovecotpw'] = "/usr/sbin/dovecotpw";
// for dovecot 2.x (dovecot 2.0.0 - 2.0.7 is not supported!)
$CONF['dovecotpw'] = "/usr/sbin/doveadm pw";
I have also tried SHA256-CRYPT and MD5-CRYPT with same results (as I understand it, these do not include usernames in the hash)
In running setup.php, I get the following message when trying to create an admin account:
can't encrypt password with dovecotpw, see error log for details
Server error log reports:
1624#0: *6 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: dovecotpw password encryption failed.
PHP message: STDERR output: sh: 1: /usr/sbin/doveadm: not found" while reading response header from upstream <...> upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:" <...>
A couple quick checks:
# ll /usr/sbin/doveadm

# doveadm pw -l
