+
+
+ 1. Configuration
+ ----------------
+
+ Copy config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php and set the options as described
+ within the file.
+
+
+ 2. Drivers
+ ----------
+
+ Password plugin supports many password change mechanisms which are
+ handled by included drivers. Just pass driver name in 'password_driver' option.
+
+
+ 2.1. Database (sql)
+ -------------------
+
+ You can specify which database to connect by 'password_db_dsn' option and
+ what SQL query to execute by 'password_query'. See config.inc.php.dist file for
+ more info.
+
+ Example implementations of an update_passwd function:
+
+ - This is for use with LMS (http://lms.org.pl) database and postgres:
+
+ CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_passwd(hash text, account text) RETURNS integer AS $$
+ DECLARE
+ res integer;
+ BEGIN
+ UPDATE passwd SET password = hash
+ WHERE login = split_part(account, '@', 1)
+ AND domainid = (SELECT id FROM domains WHERE name = split_part(account, '@', 2))
+ RETURNING id INTO res;
+ RETURN res;
+ END;
+ $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;
+
+ - This is for use with a SELECT update_passwd(%o,%c,%u) query
+ Updates the password only when the old password matches the MD5 password
+ in the database
+
+ CREATE FUNCTION update_password (oldpass text, cryptpass text, user text) RETURNS text
+ MODIFIES SQL DATA
+ BEGIN
+ DECLARE currentsalt varchar(20);
+ DECLARE error text;
+ SET error = 'incorrect current password';
+ SELECT substring_index(substr(user.password,4),_latin1'$',1) INTO currentsalt FROM users WHERE username=user;
+ SELECT '' INTO error FROM users WHERE username=user AND password=ENCRYPT(oldpass,currentsalt);
+ UPDATE users SET password=cryptpass WHERE username=user AND password=ENCRYPT(oldpass,currentsalt);
+ RETURN error;
+ END
+
+ Example SQL UPDATEs:
+
+ - Plain text passwords:
+ UPDATE users SET password=%p WHERE username=%u AND password=%o AND domain=%h LIMIT 1
+
+ - Crypt text passwords:
+ UPDATE users SET password=%c WHERE username=%u LIMIT 1
+
+ - Use a MYSQL crypt function (*nix only) with random 8 character salt
+ UPDATE users SET password=ENCRYPT(%p,concat(_utf8'$1$',right(md5(rand()),8),_utf8'$')) WHERE username=%u LIMIT 1
+
+ - MD5 stored passwords:
+ UPDATE users SET password=MD5(%p) WHERE username=%u AND password=MD5(%o) LIMIT 1
+
+
+ 2.2. Cyrus/SASL (sasl)
+ ----------------------
+
+ Cyrus SASL database authentication allows your Cyrus+Roundcube
+ installation to host mail users without requiring a Unix Shell account!
+
+ This driver only covers the "sasldb" case when using Cyrus SASL. Kerberos
+ and PAM authentication mechanisms will require other techniques to enable
+ user password manipulations.
+
+ Cyrus SASL includes a shell utility called "saslpasswd" for manipulating
+ user passwords in the "sasldb" database. This plugin attempts to use
+ this utility to perform password manipulations required by your webmail
+ users without any administrative interaction. Unfortunately, this
+ scheme requires that the "saslpasswd" utility be run as the "cyrus"
+ user - kind of a security problem since we have chosen to SUID a small
+ script which will allow this to happen.
+
+ This driver is based on the Squirrelmail Change SASL Password Plugin.
+ See http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=107 for details.
+
+ Installation:
+
+ Change into the helpers directory. Edit the chgsaslpasswd.c file as is
+ documented within it.
+
+ Compile the wrapper program:
+ gcc -o chgsaslpasswd chgsaslpasswd.c
+
+ Chown the compiled chgsaslpasswd binary to the cyrus user and group
+ that your browser runs as, then chmod them to 4550.
+
+ For example, if your cyrus user is 'cyrus' and the apache server group is
+ 'nobody' (I've been told Redhat runs Apache as user 'apache'):
+
+ chown cyrus:nobody chgsaslpasswd
+ chmod 4550 chgsaslpasswd
+
+ Stephen Carr has suggested users should try to run the scripts on a test
+ account as the cyrus user eg;
+
+ su cyrus -c "./chgsaslpasswd -p test_account"
+
+ This will allow you to make sure that the script will work for your setup.
+ Should the script not work, make sure that:
+ 1) the user the script runs as has access to the saslpasswd|saslpasswd2
+ file and proper permissions
+ 2) make sure the user in the chgsaslpasswd.c file is set correctly.
+ This could save you some headaches if you are the paranoid type.
+
+
+ 2.3. Poppassd/Courierpassd (poppassd)
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ You can specify which host to connect to via 'password_pop_host' and
+ what port via 'password_pop_port'. See config.inc.php.dist file for more info.
+
+
+ 2.4. LDAP (ldap)
+ ----------------
+
+ See config.inc.php.dist file. Requires PEAR::Net_LDAP2 package.
+
+
+ 2.5. DirectAdmin Control Panel (directadmin)
+ --------------------------------------------
+
+ You can specify which host to connect to via 'password_directadmin_host' (don't
+ forget to use tcp:// or ssl://) and what port via 'password_direactadmin_port'.
+ The password enforcement with plenty customization can be done directly by
+ DirectAdmin, please see http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=910
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for more info.
+
+
+ 2.6. cPanel (cpanel)
+ --------------------
+
+ Install cPanel XMLAPI Client Class into Roundcube program/lib directory
+ or any other place in PHP include path. You can get the class from
+ https://raw.github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php/master/xmlapi.php
+
+ You can configure parameters for connection to cPanel's API interface.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for more info.
+
+
+ 2.7. XIMSS/Communigate (ximms)
+ ------------------------------
+
+ You can specify which host and port to connect to via 'password_ximss_host'
+ and 'password_ximss_port'. See config.inc.php.dist file for more info.
+
+
+ 2.8. Virtualmin (virtualmin)
+ ----------------------------
+
+ As in sasl driver this one allows to change password using shell
+ utility called "virtualmin". See helpers/chgvirtualminpasswd.c for
+ installation instructions. See also config.inc.php.dist file.
+
+
+ 2.9. hMailServer (hmail)
+ ------------------------
+
+ Requires PHP COM (Windows only). For access to hMail server on remote host
+ you'll need to define 'hmailserver_remote_dcom' and 'hmailserver_server'.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for more info.
+
+
+ 2.10. PAM (pam)
+ ---------------
+
+ This driver is for changing passwords of shell users authenticated with PAM.
+ Requires PECL's PAM exitension to be installed (http://pecl.php.net/package/PAM).
+
+
+ 2.11. Chpasswd (chpasswd)
+ -------------------------
+
+ Driver that adds functionality to change the systems user password via
+ the 'chpasswd' command. See config.inc.php.dist file.
+
+ Attached wrapper script (helpers/chpass-wrapper.py) restricts password changes
+ to uids >= 1000 and can deny requests based on a blacklist.
+
+
+ 2.12. LDAP - no PEAR (ldap_simple)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ It's rewritten ldap driver that doesn't require the Net_LDAP2 PEAR extension.
+ It uses directly PHP's ldap module functions instead (as Roundcube does).
+
+ This driver is fully compatible with the ldap driver, but
+ does not require (or uses) the
+ $config['password_ldap_force_replace'] variable.
+ Other advantages:
+ * Connects only once with the LDAP server when using the search user.
+ * Does not read the DN, but only replaces the password within (that is
+ why the 'force replace' is always used).
+
+
+ 2.13. XMail (xmail)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver for XMail (www.xmailserver.org). See config.inc.php.dist file
+ for configuration description.
+
+
+ 2.14. Pw (pw_usermod)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver to change the systems user password via the 'pw usermod' command.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for configuration description.
+
+
+ 2.15. domainFACTORY (domainfactory)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver for the hosting provider domainFACTORY (www.df.eu).
+ No configuration options.
+
+
+ 2.16. DBMail (dbmail)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver that adds functionality to change the users DBMail password.
+ It only works with dbmail-users on the same host where Roundcube runs
+ and requires shell access and gcc in order to compile the binary
+ (see instructions in chgdbmailusers.c file).
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for configuration description.
+
+ Note: DBMail users can also use sql driver.
+
+
+ 2.17. Expect (expect)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver to change user password via the 'expect' command.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for configuration description.
+
+
+ 2.18. Samba (smb)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver to change Samba user password via the 'smbpasswd' command.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for configuration description.
+
+
+ 2.19. Vpopmail daemon (vpopmaild)
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver for the daemon of vpopmail. Vpopmail is used with qmail to
+ enable virtual users that are saved in a database and not in /etc/passwd.
+
+ Set $config['password_vpopmaild_host'] to the host where vpopmaild runs.
+
+ Set $config['password_vpopmaild_port'] to the port of vpopmaild.
+
+ Set $config['password_vpopmaild_timeout'] to the timeout used for the TCP
+ connection to vpopmaild (You may want to set it higher on busy servers).
+
+
+ 2.20. Plesk (Plesk RPC-API)
+ ---------------------------
+
+ Driver for changing Passwords via Plesk RPC-API. This Driver also works with
+ Parallels Plesk Automation (PPA).
+
+ You need to allow the IP of the Roundcube-Server for RPC-Calls in the Panel.
+
+ Set $config['password_plesk_host'] to the Hostname / IP where Plesk runs
+ Set your Admin or RPC User: $config['password_plesk_user']
+ Set the Password of the User: $config['password_plesk_pass']
+ Set $config['password_plesk_rpc_port'] for the RPC-Port. Usually its 8443
+ Set the RPC-Path in $config['password_plesk_rpc_path']. Normally this is: enterprise/control/agent.php.
+
+
+ 2.21. Kpasswd
+ -----------------------------------
+
+ Driver to change the password in Kerberos environments via the 'kpasswd' command.
+ See config.inc.php.dist file for configuration description.
+
+
+ 3. Driver API
+ -------------
+
+ Driver file (<driver_name>.php) must define rcube_<driver_name>_password class
+ with public save() method that has two arguments. First - current password, second - new password.
+ This method should return PASSWORD_SUCCESS on success or any of PASSWORD_CONNECT_ERROR,
+ PASSWORD_CRYPT_ERROR, PASSWORD_ERROR when driver was unable to change password.
+ Extended result (as a hash-array with 'message' and 'code' items) can be returned
+ too. See existing drivers in drivers/ directory for examples.
