HI,
On my fresh install Dovecot default_pass_scheme and postfixadmin ($CONF['encrypt']) were different.
I have put everything on CLEARTEXT for debugging.

Now that authentication works fine I need to define the same encryption for both Dovecot and Postfixadmin. Than I'll have to reset the Postfixadmin admin password through MYSQL cause the old password is asked by the admin for that and it will not be recognized with the new encryption as it is now in cleartext.

So, my question is what encryption should I choose that will be compatible for both Postfixadmin, Dovecot and Mysql ?

For info, php5-crypt witch is available for the 2 firsts seems not available under Mysql.

Thanks

I found the solution: create a second admin using setup.php
