TOPIC
Many email clients use the PASS protocol to change a user's password. Because it raises security issues, it is off by default and must be explicitly be enabled by the server administrator.
DISCUSSION Eudora & eMailer (and other email clients) use a protocol called "PASS" to change a user's password. AppleShare IP 6.x comes with "PASS off by default. This is because "PASS" is a "clear-text" based protocol with limited security support. Because of this, it was decided to make the administrator explicitly enable this protocol. To enable "PASS", go to the "Server" menu in the Mail Admin, choose "Advanced Settings" (The Mail Server must be running to do this.) and click on the "Protocols" tab. Make sure that the "PASS" protocol is enabled. |
