[Dovecot] dovecot with pam - ldap

I am running dovecot v1.2.10 on a FreeBSD server and I am facing problems authenticating using pam. I always get the error message, although I do provide the right password: pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (password mismatch?) I use /etc/pam.d/imap: # # PAM configuration for the "imap" service # # auth auth sufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass # account account required pam_unix.so and my config: srvfbsd01# dovecot -n # 1.2.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 amd64 protocols: imap ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 0 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/home/vmail/public list: yes auth default: debug: yes passdb: driver: pam args: failure_show_msg=yes cache_key=%u imap passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/vmail userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/vmail Logging: Aug 18 12:48:10 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/vmail: Read 6 users Aug 18 12:48:10 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth-worker(default): passwd-file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/vmail: Read 6 users Aug 18 12:48:11 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3690 Aug 18 12:48:11 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3688 Aug 18 12:48:11 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3689 Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap lip=10.0.10.150 rip=10.0.10.71 lport=143 rport=3583 Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(daniel,10.0.10.71): lookup service=imap Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(daniel,10.0.10.71): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Aug 18 12:48:14 srvfbsd01 dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(daniel,10.0.10.71): pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (password mismatch?)

Hello, is it possible to define the sender for the Dovecot Sieve implementation's vacation extension? It seems to be impossible to add, e.g., a name, or choose a different sender address. Thanks, Florian

[Dovecot] Dovecot-Antispam 2.0 with SpamAssassin (sa-learn)
by Nick Rosier 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi, has anyone figured out how to use the dovecot-antispam plugin with sa-learn? I need to pass the username (user(a)domain.tld) to sa-learn and --ham or --spam depending on the move. I was thinking of using the CRM14 option and replace the command and arguments but cannot find anything about the ability to pass the username. Any pointers would be welcome. N.

[Dovecot] May Dovecot help in users education
by Alexandre Chapellon 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hello, I was wondering if dovecot could help me in my project to smoothly make all my users switch to TLS encrypted POP / IMAP sessions and forget about cleartext. My first idea was to setup dovecot as a POP/IMAP proxy for my mailhosts and ask dovecot to display a warning message or slowdown non TLS sessions. Is there any way to achieve this with dovecot? Does anybody have another idea smoothly force used to switch to TLS? Regards. -- <http://www.horoa.net>

[Dovecot] invalid credential using openldap
by Daminto Lie 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi, What I have been trying to achieve is to be able to authenticate users through openLDAP while using Postfix, Dovecot as IMAP server and squirrelmail. I keep getting the following error messages when trying to login to squirrelmail 2011-08-17 12:27:59 auth(default): Info: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 rport=57794 resp=AGFkbWluAGFwbXg2c3Bu 2011-08-17 12:27:59 auth(default): Info: ldap(myuser,127.0.0.1): invalid credentials (given password: xxx) 2011-08-17 12:28:00 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=1921 2011-08-17 12:28:01 auth(default): Info: client out: FAIL 1 user=myuser 2011-08-17 12:28:06 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<myuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured This seems to be trivial but I just could not figure out what else went wrong. I wonder if anyone might be able to give me a bit of help as I'm still learning my way around under linux system environment. The following is what I have in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-slapd.conf hosts = localhost dn = cn=myadmin,dc=mycompany,dc=com dnpass = secrets auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com ldap_version = 3 base = ou=people, dc=pbj, dc=com, dc=au scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) Thank you in advance

[Dovecot] Slackware Dovecot recompile with SSL/TLS question
by CopalFreak 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I am having some problems and was told to ask in this list to try and get some help. When asking elsewhere, I was told that I was too verbose, so I'll try to be as brief as possible, while still including all the pertinent info. Slackware 13.1.0 Dovecot 2.0.8 Postfix 2.4.3 MySQL (virtual users) Spamassassin 3.3.1 ClamAV 0.97.1 (without Amavis) Have wild-card SSL certs and CA from GoDaddy ##"postconf -a" >> cyrus >> dovecot I compiled Dovecot without SASL support and need to re-compile it WITH SASL support, but I don't want to mess up my existing configuration. (I have it the way I want it as far as where it's installed, where the conf files are located, UID, GID settings, etc.) Dovecot 2.0.13 is out and I would prefer to use the newer version assuming it doesn't have any problems that would prevent me from using it. Is there a way to re-compile (or upgrade) so that it doesn't change any of my existing settings? I would like to be able to bring it down, do upgrade, maybe copy some config files over the defaults etc, and bring it all back up within a few minutes instead of a week of tweaking and fixing stuff. Is there a way to do something like this : stop dovecot backup all dovecot conf files ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/openssl --config_dir /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or something like that..not sure what it actually is) make sudo make install edit conf files to point to SSL certs start dovecot IN CASE anything goes wrong, copy old config files back and restart dovecot to make it go back the way it was (only it's using the new 2.0.13 version) any suggestions and/or tips on how-to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Sieve include
by Andrea Cappelli 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.2.15 with ISPConfig and Roundcube with sieve plugin. To avoid conflicts between ISPConfig and Roundcube during script writing I would use include in the ISPconfig template to use the roundcube script To simplify this task I'm wondering if there is a way to have a "star include", like include :personal "*.sieve"; Thank you Andrea
