[Dovecot] how can I use different LDAP config for LDA and AUTH?

[maximatt]

hi...

you can set more than one ldap config in dovecot:

passdb ldap {
    args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap1.conf
}
passdb ldap {
    args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap2.conf
}
userdb ldap {
    args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap1.conf
}
userdb ldap {
    args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap2.conf
}

or you can set these in dovecot ldap config

     user_filter= (&(|(uid=%u)(mail=%u))(.....))

Anyway, i think you must config postfix to perform queries in apropiate
setting parameters that you give from ldap with something like these:

     query_filter= (&(|(mail=%s)(...))(....))
     result_attribute= uid,mail,.....

so, you can autenticate with uid or mail value.


Salu2!
