iRedMail stores (salted) MD5 encrypted passwords for MySQL and PostgreSQL backends by default. Example:

$1$ozdpg0V0$0fb643pVsPtHVPX8mCZYW/

- Plain MD5 is supported too. Example: 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72, {PLAIN-MD5}900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72.
- Plain password is supported, but it's not recommended. Don't use it on production server.
- Upcoming iRedAdmin (both open source edition and iRedAdmin-Pro) supports SSHA and SSHA512 encrypted passwords.

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a php script that will add users to the mysql DB on the fly, I'm not too familiar with encryption types and have no idea what kindof encryption the password fields use, can you fill me in on this?

Thanks!
