[Dovecot] Dovecot + roundcube -- Password Change

[Vijay Rajah]

Hello,

I'm using Postfix + Dovecot (2.2.6) + roundcube 0.8.x + mysql.

The roundcube webserver is hosted on a different server than the
Dovecot. The dovecot itself is a replicated 2 node configuration.

I would like to allow users to change the password from roundcube
interface. All the examples I have seen, assume that roundcube runs in
the same server as dovecot.

Is there an example / documentation to enable this to work, applying
reasonable security measures.

-Thanks
Vijay

depends where your password is stored, or what auth mech do you use i.e
with running on seperate sql server, configure roundcube to change pass
there, for sure your roundcube must be able to connect to external sql
server, so specially have a look at your firewall rules, ideally a
secondary private net is used for sql traffic

perhaps look at

http://trac.roundcube.net/browser/github/plugins/password

but i am no expert in roundcube, if this is the right plugin, for
problems as their list
