Convert exim passhash ?

I need to convert password schemes in passwd file from MD5-CRYPT to SHA512-CRYPT. Is there a way from vestapanel side? Or can I simply follow https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes

VestaCP just control some configs. You should follow official Exim instructions.

As I see vesta is generating password with md5 crypt. So it is hardcoded ;)

File: /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-add-mail-account

Code: Select all

# Generating hashed password
salt=$(generate_password "$PW_MATRIX" "8")
md5="{MD5}$($BIN/v-generate-password-hash md5 $salt <<<$password)"

I beleve, that you may change this part in files:
v-add-mail-account
v-change-mail-account-password

But I don't recommend to this, because updates can break this changes ;)
