[Dovecot] Public folders and groups

[b m]

No AD doesn't have such a field, but I could use some unused field to get what I want. Let's say set "Attribute1" to "group1". The problem is how to get that info. I guess I have to edit dovecot-ldap.conf and put in user_attrs something like that ",=acl_groups=Attribute1". Any suggestions?

It'll be easier for me to use one group instead of 50 users but I can't get it to work. From where does dovecot get the "group" attribute for a user? Can it read the groups that a user belongs from AD?

Here a sentence to this, found in the dovecot wiki. (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL)

ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra field from userdb, which contains all the groups the user belongs to.

It seems to be possible, I had an acl_groups field in my MySQL Database for this, I'am sure it is something like that in an AD too.
