Hello,

I used to run a Roundcube installation, connecting to IMAPS locally with a dovecot server supporting :
auth_mechanisms = scram-sha-1 digest-md5 cram-md5

Now I've got a fresh installation of Webmail Lite running fine.
But I had to change my dovecot settings to allow PLAIN authentication, otherwise Webmail Lite wouldn't connect to it, with dovecot complaining it doesn't support PLAIN authentication.

Looking at the source code of Webmail Lite I saw some "// todo" comments near the auth mechanism section of the code. I didn't dig more, but are SCRAM-SHA-1, DIGEST-MD5 or CRAM-MD5 supposed to be supported by Webmail Lite ? It bothers me to lower the security level.
Is it supported in the Pro version ?

Thanks.

PHP version of AfterLogic WebMail uses AUTH LOGIN method by default, and it's also able to use AUTH PLAIN unless that option is disabled in data/settings/config.php file:

Code:
'login.enable-plain-auth' => 'false',


More secure methods are not currently supported, be it Lite or Pro. However, if you access IMAP server over SSL, that shouldn't be a problem.
