Postfix Cyrus Web cyradm HOWTO

Choose encryption method

carefully

Since the supported encryption methods are all one way

encryptions, there will be NO WAY to migrate from one to

another. Note also, that this is a global variable, it is used for

all passwords, including the password of the admin users. I

STRONGLY suggest the use of Unix Shadow compatible

encryption, because it makes you independent of any software

vendor.

8.5. Usernames

There are two username schemes supported which are defined in the variable

 DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX . The default is to have a defined prefix

($DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX=0), i.e.  test  for the domain  expample.com . With

this scheme, the first user gets the username test0001, the second test0002 and

incrementing.

The other one is to have usernames like  hans.mueller.example.com . If that case

set $DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX=1

At the moment you can not mix both schemas, evaluate carefully with scheme

matches your needs best

If you choose to have $DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX=1, be sure you uncomment the

option

unixhierarchysep: yes

like described in Section 7.1.2

9. Testing the setup

First you have to (re )start all the daemons affected
