Removing clear-text passwords

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to set up my server so that no clear text
passwords are used to access the system.

The server is used (by others) via the following
access methods:

  - POP3 email
  - IMAP email
  - web (including web mail)
  - ftp (for uploading files, mainly web pages)

Most of my users have windows desktops, so I'm limited
to SSL/TLS for securing mail server access. I like
digest-md5, which evolution supports, but Outlook
doesn't support this.

For web access, SSL/TLS works fine.

I don't know what to do for ftp. Can SSL/TLS be used
with ftp and do windows applications, such as
FrontPage support it?

Another approach is to have ftp use a different
password than the one used for email - not sure how to
do this.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks, Greg.
