Migrating users with salted md5 password hashes

Virtualmin
1

Hello,

I need to migrate users from another server. I have full set of information, including hashed passwords.

When i create user with command:

virtualmin create-user --domain domain.tld --user info --encpass $1$d4204615$wL5l4z1.5buSrYvEUzRkL1

(i crippled the hash intentionally when posting here)

i cannot login to pop3 service using correct password (which works on previous system)

telnet localhost 110
user info@domain.tld
pass password

Can you please help me?

Of course I changed the server template to accept login using user@domain.tld.

Thank you

Michal

Howdy,

It’s possible there’s a problem with the encrypted password handling, and we can get Jamie involved if that’s the case… but I wanted to verify a couple of things before we get him –

First, if you go into Edit Users, can you verify that it did indeed create the user with the username “user@domain.tld”?

I know you changed the template with that setting, but we’re just making sure that worked correctly.

Also, if you look in /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure after attempting to authenticate to POP3, what error(s) are you seeing there?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am sure the username is username@domain.tld. This was the first mistake i made (and username looked like user@domain.tld@domain.tld. Now I am pretty sure (want screenshot? :slight_smile: that I use correct username.

Also, I am sure I applied the changed server template with

Format for usernames that include domain: username@domain

By the way, when with default settings, username looked like username.domain (without tld), now in VM it shows correctly (username@domain.tld).

In auth.log I see:

Jan 5 09:21:49 vm1 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=user@domain.tld rhost=XXX user=user@domain.tld
Jan 5 09:22:31 vm1 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=user@domain rhost=XXX
Jan 5 09:22:42 vm1 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=user.domain rhost=XXX
Jan 5 09:22:52 vm1 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=user.domain.tld rhost=XXX

on the first line, I think we proved correct usernames.
