The Store password in highly secureSHA format allows for a more secure encryption (SHA string). This option has one disadvantage— some methods of Kerio MailServer access authentication (APOP, CRAM-MD5and Digest-MD5) cannot be applied. The only methods available for this option are LOGINand PLAIN (it is highly recommended to use only SSL connection for authentication).If this option is enabled, it is necessary to change the user password. This can be doneeither by administrator or the user (e.g. by Kerio WebMail or by another email client).The other fields in the dialog window are the same as the fields in the user account dialogwindow. The values entered here will be automatically entered into corresponding fields inthe created account.
