Hello,
I have a question about user account migration.
I have a 5-years old mail server (postfix+courier) using MySQL to store virtual user account. When I create a new account on the server I need do a SQL INSERT like this:
INSERT INTO `mail`.(`email` ,`name` ,`password` ,`quota` ,`time_stamp`)
VALUES ('zzz@zzz.com', 'zzz', ENCRYPT( '12345' ) , '524288000', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
Now I want to use iRedMail to build a new server. I installed iRedMail 0.8.5 and it works fine. Now I need to test moving all the user accounts from the old server to new iRedMail server.
Here is my question: The password field on my old server is using MySQL's ENCRYPT function to encrypt the password. So how can I transfer the user account safely to the iRedMail? I am not a programmer, but when I tried look at the code I saw that it seems iRedMail encrypt the password through python script and then save the password as plain text into the table vamil.mailbox.
Many thanks in advance.
