  • Custom or existing authentification program?

    From rek2 hispagatos@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 17 21:31:56 2023
    so now I am using ckpassword against a file with sha512
    but looking for a way to authenticate against postgresql db or to use
    argon2 instead of crypt, anyone knows of other ways or if I write a
    program what format does inn expects if I add my program in the
    readers.conf file.

    Thanks!

    Thank you! this will work! was hoping for someone that had already did
    more options but I can create a small go/rust program to do it myself.
    I will post the link when is ready.
