PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
- tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work:
+ tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
(a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
function.
but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
+PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
+ feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
+ embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
+ only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
+ always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
+ effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
+ RSA_EXPORT functionality.
+
+PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
+ authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
+ (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
+ to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
+ if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
+ local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
+ been verified.
+
+PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all*
+ authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication
+ succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication
+ and authorization.)
+
+PH/23 Testing for tls_required and lost_connection in a retry rule didn't work
+ if any retry times were supplied.
