2 Installation Prerequisites |
|
3 ========================== |
|
4 You already should have installed and configured Postfix and Dovecot with |
|
5 PostgreSQL support. You also need access to a local or remote PostgreSQL |
|
6 server. |
|
7 |
|
8 Check for pgsql support in Dovecot and Postfix |
|
9 ---------------------------------------------- |
|
10 To verify that your Dovecot and Postfix installation has support for |
|
11 PostgreSQL use the :command:`postconf` and :command:`dovecot` commands as |
|
12 shown below: |
|
13 |
|
14 .. code-block:: console |
|
15 |
|
16 root@host:~# postconf -m | grep pgsql |
|
17 pgsql |
|
18 root@host:~# postconf -a | grep dovecot |
|
19 dovecot |
|
20 root@host:~# dovecot --build-options | grep postgresql |
|
21 SQL drivers: mysql postgresql sqlite |
|
22 |
|
23 vmm depends on Python (≥ 2.4.0) and Psycopg_ (≥ 2.0) or pyPgSQL_ (≥ 2.5.1) |
|
24 [#]_. Psycopg and pyPgSQL are depending on parts of the *eGenix.com mx Base |
|
25 Distribution* (mxDateTime_ and mxTools_). |
|
26 |
|
27 If you are using Python ≤ 2.5.0: |
|
28 |
|
29 ‣ if you want to store your users' passwords as ``PLAIN-MD4`` digest in |
|
30 the database, vmm will try to use ``Crypto.Hash.MD4`` from PyCrypto_ |
|
31 ‣ if you are using Dovecot ≥ v1.1.0 and you want to store your users' |
|
32 passwords as ``SHA256`` or ``SSHA256`` hashes, vmm will try to use |
|
33 ``Crypto.Hash.SHA256`` from PyCrypto. For ``SHA256``/``SSHA256`` you |
|
34 should have installed PyCrypto, at least in version 2.1.0alpha1. |
|
35 |
|
36 When the Crypto.Hash module couldn't be imported, vmm will use |
|
37 dovecotpw/doveadm, if the *misc.password_scheme* setting in your |
|
38 :file:`vmm.cfg` is set to ``PLAIN-MD4``, ``SHA256`` or ``SSHA256``. |
|
39 |
|
40 If your Dovecot and/or Postfix installation shouldn't support PostgreSQL you |
|
41 could possibly fix this by installing the missing package (see below) or by |
|
42 recompiling the corresponding part. |
