mod_auth_dovecot should remove first part of PLAIN auth string before
authentification against dovecot service
the format of the auth string for PLAIN auth is defined as
base64(jid+'\0'+userid+'\0'+password)
dovecot auth only works if auth string is
base64('\0'+userid+'\0'+password)
pidgin send the second format, even when authenticating ober BOSH,
but most web clients send the first form and fail.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install dovecot and make sure it works
2. install prosody and make sure you can connect with pidgin
3. enable bosh and make sure you can connect to it using pidgin
i.e. set the bosh url in the account settings, page two.
4. install jappix or other web client and recognise: you can't connect
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
successful login is expected
but login is denied using correct credentials
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
prosody 0.10 on ubuntu linux
Please provide any additional information below.
mod_auth_dovecot: should decode the auth string, remove everithing in front of
the first '\0' (leving the zero itself alone) and recode it to base64 before
authenticating against the dovecot service.
