Master user password mismatch

Trying to get master users working. I'm not sure what info would be best, but here's the detail I have now, in trying to get it working. Setup the master user file, and enabled master users in the conf files. Created the master user file and user/password hash. Turned on authentication debug. When I try something like: telnet localhost 143 and then supply the master user login - kind of like this: 1 login joeb*jb-master somepassword I get this in the logs. (Some obfuscation done.) --- dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=24985) dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=143#011rport=34376#011resp=<hidden> dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Master user lookup for login: joeb dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): lookup: user=jb-master file=/etc/dovecot/masterusers-test dovecot: auth: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Password mismatch dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=jb-master --- Yet I can use htpasswd -b -c -s /etc/dovecot/masterusers-test jb-master somepassword And this succeeds. (I created the masterusers-test file with httpasswd) So, I must have the password right, but dovecot is till failing the auth, claiming a bad password. How do I go about getting more detail so I can determine what's wrong? TIA -Greg

Unknown euid and egid, wrong mail directory

Hi! Trying to set up dovecot for local accounts and virtual users, sending test mail fails: dovecot sees a permission problem in /home but the mail should go to /srv/mail/example.net/alice. "euid=1001(<unknown>) egid=1001(<unknown>)" 1001 doesn't not exist in /etc/passwd - Where does it come from?

Dovecot Gmail OAuth2.0 Setting Question
by 福田泰葵 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Dear Sir or Madam Unable to build OAuth2.0 authentication to Gmail using dovecot as proxy. I have a question about how to use dovecot as a proxy to perform OAuth 2.0 authentication to Gmail using a mail client. 1. Is the following all I need to do to authenticate to Gmail using dovecot as a proxy? - passdb passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = oauthbearer xoauth2 args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext } passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = plain login args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext } - create dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext - create gmail service account api 2. grant_url in dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext is URL for obtaining a Google access token for a web server that I have built myself? 3. I use a Gmail service account, so I don’t need a client ID and secret ID, right? 4. Do I set introspection_url to the URL of my own web server with the access token used for authentication to Google as the response? 5. The documentation says “pass_attrs = host=127.0.0.1”, but if you are authenticating to Gmail, I should use “pass_attrs = proxy=y host=%{if;%s;eq;imap;imap.gmail.com;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;smtp .gmail.com;pop.gmail.com}} port=%{if;%s;eq;imap;993;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;587;465}} proxy_mech=xoauth2 pass=%{oauth2:access_token} user=%{oauth2:email oauth2:email}”? 6. What is the difference between dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext ? Do I need to configure both? I used https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/#proxy as a reference. I would appreciate your reply.
