Shared mailboxes ACL's in MySQL, mailboxes in LDAP
by Matt . 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi Guys, I'm having a situation that I want to autocreate my mailboxes using ldap auth as my mailboxes are in there. But as I need to share some mailboxes as shared folder is it possible to have that information in MySQL ? Maybe it even better to put everything in MySQL but designwise it's actually not. I f someone has an example how to accomplish this as I'm reading about ACL's as well and I'm wondering if this is actually going to work. Thanks! Matt

POP3 lock
by The Doctor 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

This might be trivial or not. I have a customer access his e-mail via POP3 using multiple devs. I recommend they switch to IMAP , however, How can the POP3 locking be made into a non-issue? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Yahweh, Queen & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! https://www.empire.kred/ROOTNK?t=94a1f39b Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism Happy Christmas 2017 and Merry New Year 2018

IMAP proxy
by Gandalf Corvotempesta 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

I'm migrating an old server to another old server (same dovecot version in both servers) The migration itself is straightforward, stop dovecot on the old server, migrate everything via rsync, start dovecot to the new server. There is only one step left: change the dns configuration, pointing from the old server to the newer one. As most of domains are not managed by me and some other domains are pointing to our server via IP, I can't simply change the A record or wait for all users to change their domain configuration. TL;DR: is possible to use dovecot as IMAP proxy so that even after changing our dns records, any user directly connecting to my old server would be proxied to the newer one automatically ? Any additional software or only a configuration change is required ?

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.0.rc1 for Dovecot v2.3.0.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole release candidate that goes with the Dovecot v2.3 release candidate. Of course, a large part of this release consists of compatibility changes for Dovecot v2.3. Apart from that, not much changed, just a few additions and fixes that accumulated over the last few months. Most of these changes will be back-ported to Pigeonhole v0.4, but that release will happen a little later. Changelog v0.5.0: * editheader extension: The implementation of header modifications is heavily updated. Although the functionality has not changed, the underlying code was updated to address several static analysis warnings, runtime integer arithmetic warnings (Clang), and to match updates in the Dovecot stream API. + variables extension: Made the maximum scope and variable size configurable. + subaddress: Support multiple recipient_delimiters. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify plugin: mailto method: Make sure the "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. Sometimes headers were MIME-encoded twice, yielding invalid results. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/rc/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/rc/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

nfs_flush_chown_uid errors over NFS
by Johan Hendriks 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hello all, We use an older version of dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 using an NFS share, also a linux box. Now we want to migrate the storage to a FreeBSD server and later on the mailservers them self. In the firsts test all looks fine, but we do see some errors some times. Error: nfs_flush_chown_uid: chown(/var/mail/virtual/domain.com/user/Maildir) failed: Invalid argument This does not happen all the time but sometimes it shows up. I can read all the mail using an mailclient and the uid shows the user vmail:vmail. Is this cosmetic or is there something wrong? Thanks for your time Regards johan

Sieve with LDA
by Doug Hardie 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

I found an email that sieve stored in Deleted Messages incorrectly. The log messages show sieve doing that, but don't give me any indication of which sieve rule caused the problem. I went through it manually, but didn't see anything that matched. I seem to recall that there was a way to use sieve-test to show the rules and how they were applied, but I can't seem to get it to do that now. -- Doug

Hi Friends, On Debian Jessie and Dovecot 1:2.2.x using the default separator "/" (simply leave commented 10-mail.conf -> "#separator =") I've create for a vuser (from client) a subfolder Scuola/prova on server side, Dovecot create: ../Maildir/.Scuola.prova Here my question: why not ../Maildir/Scuola/prova ? Where I'm wrong? Many thanks! Davide

Why not make: contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" a single string: contains "X-Spam-Status: YES" that would be more precise and avoid this issue.

Well, I've read the dsync documentation, but this warning has me a little worried: "Make sure destination is exactly as source, deleting/reverting any changes in destination if necessary" So I followed the Imapsync way, and all works fine. I seem to have understood thatImapsync works as a traditional client,for this reason also much easier to use and with less mistakes risk. And anyway a software done very well ;-) x9p wrote:> I do not believe imapsync has license issues. Its written in perl and its > hosted on github.

sieve filter move wrong email to Junk folder
by Gao 15 Dec '17

I use a sieve filter to move spam email to user's Junk folder: # cat spam_to_junk.sieve require "fileinto"; if exists "X-Spam-Status" { if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } else { } } if header :contains "subject" ["SPAM?"] { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } Most time this filter works fine but occasionally it move non-spam in to Junk folder.

doveadm log reopen not works with 2.2.33
by Alessio Cecchi 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi, after the upgrade from dovecot 2.2.32 to 2.2.33 we notice that the /var/log/director/director.log was empty and the log are write in the logrotate file es. /var/log/director/director.log-20171201. Log path is dovecot is: log_path = /var/log/director/director.log Logrotate configuration is: /var/log/director/director.log { daily rotate 31 missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate doveadm -i director log reopen endscript } and worked fine until the last dovecot upgrade. Now the only way to "reopen" the log file is doveadm reload. Is this a know bug? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Just to be clear, if at any point your VPS has access to the plaintext mail (or keys that decrypt mail), then the VPS provider could access your decrypted mail. To make it unfeasible for your VPS to read your mail, it has to arrive at your VPS pre-encrypted. I can envision a system where you import encrypted mail into your mail store, then use client IMAP access to be decrypted locally by your mail reader. However, metadata is still accessible by your VPS provider. If your VPS is the MTA that directly handles SMTP from your correspondees sending you unencrypted messages, you can't lock out a sufficiently skilled platform admin.

TLS Error and not working lmtp
by Jakob Schürz 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi! I have some troubles with the virtual plugin. I run a self-compiled dovecot 2.2.33.2 from debian testing. I patched this version with the QRESYNC-Patch from a few weeks ago. But i always get an errormessage, when i try to open an email from a virtual mailbox. So i cloned the actual git-Repo and compiled dovecot and pigonehole-sieve. The problem with the virtual plugin seems gone away. But there are some other problems. I use ssl=required and with dovecot from debian TLS/SSL and STARTTLS works fine. With the selfcompiled from git, i get this error: dovecot[1284]: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Couldn't parse DH parameters: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: DH PARAMETERS: user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<D6bC4Rlg8ut/AAAB> The key and crt are exactly the same files as before. The second problem is, lmtp is not working. I use exactly the same config for the debians dovecot and dovecot from git. But in the gitversion the error in exim is: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dovecot/lmtp for dovecot_lmtp transport: Connection refused My config is: # dovecot -n # 2.3.devel (b1aac3a1d):

Recommended tool for migrating IMAP servers
by Davide Marchi 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi Friends, I would like to ask you a suggestion: I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old one. Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration) more tools are shown: UW-IMAP's mailutil, imapsync, YippieMove and Larch. The each mail servers are Linux based, one of this (mine) is Dovecot. Based on your experience which of these tools would be preferable to use? Thank you very much Davide

Re: hosting emails at home

Hello Mike, Yes, I am using a static IP address, but in theory, you could use a dynamic one. Nothing technically would prevent email exchanges between two boxes, as long as the SPF records are up to date and the DKIM is properly setup. Unfortunately, some ISPs are simply blacklisting full range of private IP addresses just because they are not officials / commercials.

hosting emails at home
by André Rodier 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hello everyone, I have been using Postfix and Dovecot for my personal emails for years. After being tired of reinstalling my personal mail server many times, I am currently writing some Ansible scripts to do it automatically. I obviously checked the other projects, and did not found anything close to what I am looking for, so I am implementing it now. The final goal is to have a box that once online, would setup itself, by creating the certificates, the DKIM keys and update the appropriate DNS records. This is so far what I have achieved: - Automatic generation of certificates using LetsEncrypt - Automatic update of the domain entries: imap, smtp, webmail, etc. - Automatic generation of a DKIM keys - Automatic update of specific records (MX, SPF, DKIM, etc.) - LDAP server for user accounts, with or without system login. - Installation of Postfix, Dovecot and Roundcube Sending DKIM signed emails is working, and the IMAP server is configured as well, although basic. The postfix and dovecot configuration are not yet entirely finished. I am planing to add an anti spam system, and sieve, amongst other things. Although in development during my spare time, the system is normally robust and you should be able to run it multiple times without errors. If anyone is interested to use it, to have a look, or to take part, it is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox Kind regards, André Rodier.

iPhone no longer authenticating

I've switched a user to being an active directory user. That user's email client authorizes just fine with dovecot using GSSAPI. However, now his iPhone won't authorize. In the dovecot log file I get: Dec 01 14:27:28 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=q4n3W0xfggBiZj9s lip=98.102.63.107 rip=98.102.63.108 lport=993 rport=49538 resp=AG1wcmVzcwBEaW5va3JvbndhbGw0NQ== (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Dec 01 14:27:32 auth-worker(5988): Debug: shadow(mpress,98.102.xx.yyy): lookup Dec 01 14:27:32 auth-worker(5988): Info: shadow(mpress,98.102.xx.yyy): unknown user (given password: *******) Dec 01 14:27:34 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=mpress Dec 01 14:27:34 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 6 secs): user=<mpress>, method=PLAIN, rip=98.102.xx.yyy, lip=98.102.63.107, TLS, session=<q4n3W0xfggBiZj9s> Dec 01 14:27:34 imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [98.102.xx.yyy] This same user will authenticate OK from his local domain workstation: Dec 01 14:28:52 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 1948516353 mpress system_groups_user=HPRS\mpress uid=10005gid=10000 home=/home/HPRS/mpress auth_token=ce3050035718ed0996af698400c4de1be453ec06 auth_user=mpress(a)HPRS.LOCAL Dec 01 14:28:52 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<mpress>, method=GSSAPI, rip=192.168.0.54, lip=192.168.0.2, mpid=9755, TLS, session=<6MT1YExftwDAqAA2> I'm pretty sure the reason has to do with Active Directory authenication locally, but of course his iPhone is not a member of the domain, and he is no longer in /etc/passwd/shadow.

Mail-crypt plugin clarification
by rje 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

I'm looking into ways to encrypt the stored email on my server. The idea is to make it impossible for my hosting provider (who has access to my VPS) to read the mail from the disk. So I'm looking into ways to do this, and I found the mail-crypt plugin for dovecot. Unfortunately I find the documentation very hard to understand. There is no clear description of what the goal and purpose of the plugin is, or how it works. Most of the documentation is very short and provides no explanation. So here are some questions - I will gladly help to update the documentation when some of these questions are answered :) If you cannot answer them all, please tell me what you know.. - It seems mail-cypt will transparently encrypt/decrypt mail - so it stores it on the server in encrypted form, but dovecot serves it unencrypted over IMAP. Is this correct? - It seems that mail-crypt needs both a private and a public key to work. Is this correct? - If mail-crypt has both private and public key in its configuration, does that not defeat the purpose of the whole thing? Anyone with access to the disk will be able to read everything? Regarding the settings: mail_crypt_global_private_key(_n) - Private key to decrypt files, you can specify many mail_crypt_global_public_key - Public key to use to encrypt files, you can specify one - How does this work? What does mail-crypt do when multiple private keys are specified? mail_crypt_private_key - Private key to decrypt user's master key, can be base64 encoded mail_crypt_private_password - Password to decrypt user's master key or environment private key - What is the relation between a users master key, and the private/public global keys above? What is an environment private key? TIA, and as I said above, I will help with updating the docs! -- Sent from: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/

Use multiple mbox locations
by bapt x 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

Hello, With GNU mailutils on Debian 9, we receive mails in /var/mail/<username> but when we read mails with the "mail" command, they are moved in a file ~/mbox: "Saved 1 message in /home/<username>/mbox". I use Roundcube webmail with Dovecot but if I also use use the "mail" command to read emails, Roundcube will not display old messages anymore since they were moved to ~/mbox. So is their a way to tell Dovecot that we want to lookup for emails both in /var/mail/<username> and ~/mbox? I saw https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Mixed_mbox_and_Maildir but I it did not work if when I tried to add 2 times a mbox location. Thanks for your help.

Errors and dovecot crashing...
by SH Development 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Our production dovecot/postfix server has been stable for a number of years. In the last month or so, we are seeing increasing errors such as these: Dec 6 15:51:20 mail dovecot: imap(redacted(a)lilythicket.com): Warning: Transaction log file /home/vmail/lilythicket.com/diana/Maildir/dovecot.index.log was locked for 322 seconds Dec 6 15:50:54 mail dovecot: imap(redacted(a)theormans.com): Warning: Maildir /home/vmail/theormans.com/connieorman/Maildir/.Junk: Synchronization took 66 seconds (1 new msgs, 0 flag change attempts, 0 expunge attempts) Dec 6 15:51:43 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3-login): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Dec 6 15:51:43 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling Dec 6 15:51:43 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-login): child 5868 killed with signal 9 Dec 6 15:51:43 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling Dec 6 15:55:31 mail dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Corrupted SSL ssl-parameters.dat in state_dir: Truncated file Dec 6 15:55:32 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Timeout reading config from /var/run/dovecot/config And so forth. Seems to be all over the place. The server slows down to a crawl. Restarting dovecot or postfix has no effect on the problem. Only a server reboot solves it, temporarily. Sometimes for weeks, sometimes for hours. The hard drive SMART status reads okay. During this time, of course, users cannot connect to check their email. Thoughts on where to go to troubleshoot this and why it’s happening? Ethon

I've been playing with this ldap authentication for a couple of years off and on. Time isn't a problem. The issue with setting up a test environment is that I really need the domain workstations and external smartphone attempting to connect when I make a change so I can follow what's going on in the Dovecot log and maillog. It's rather simple to test a change, then put things back.

I've got internal AD authentication working with GSSAPI and I've got a rather complex checkpassword program able to do authentication, so I don't think I'm a complete moron, although this project makes me feel that way. Now, I just want smartphones to authenticate with their owners' domain credentials and get them out of /etc/passwd. I believe I've read all the Dovecot wikis on ldap plus things from many other sites. I've been to that howtoforge site before. It mostly deals with setting up Postfix, which I'm not using. The dovecot bits make more sense in light of your feedback. I've tried that ldapsearch example: ldapsearch -x -h ad.example.com -D 'vmail' -W -b 'cn=users,dc=example,dc=com' with the domain user I specified in my dovecot-ldap.conf.ext with my host and dc info and I get the error ldap_bind: Strong(er) authentication required (8) additional info: BindSimple: Transport encryption required. I've seen confusing postings on this error having to do with port 636 and LDAPS -- no idea what they're talking about. My user is the Samba/domain administrator and has a pretty complex password. None of the sites I've visited on this error indicate it has anything to do with the actual password's complexity. Perhaps I'm just thick-skulled with all this. If you or anyone can see something obviously wrong with my conf, or have any suggestion at all on a baby step I can take to incm me forward, please let me know.

Do we really need Solr commit as cronjob?
by Gao 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

I am testing Solr FTS on dovecot. Read online that some suggested to run cronjob commit every minute, and optimize once a day. I am using Solr 7.1.0 and I see some configurations: In /etc/default/solr.in.sh: #SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dsolr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime=3000" #SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dsolr.autoCommit.maxTime=60000" Also in solrconfig.xml: <autoCommit> <maxTime>${solr.autoCommit.maxTime:15000}</maxTime> <openSearcher>false</openSearcher> </autoCommit> <autoSoftCommit> <maxTime>${solr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime:-1}</maxTime> </autoSoftCommit> So my question is do I still need run cronjob for commit? Do I need uncomment these lines in the solr.in.sh? Does my solrconfig.xml overwrite the setting in solr.in.sh? Thanks for help.

Disabling index files?
by Stroller 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

The wiki says: > Each mailbox has its own separate index files. **If the index files are disabled**, the same structures are still kept in the memory, except cache file is disabled completely (because the client probably won't fetch the same data twice within a connection). [1] I tend to grep my maildirs quite often, and use the output to cp emails to other folders, so it's annoying when the dovecot.index.cache files show up in the results. How do I disable the index files, please? My mail server is hardly loaded, so I don't think it'll be a problem to keep the caching in memory. I can find `mailbox_list_index = no` in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf but this seems to be enabled by default, and it makes no difference when I enable it explicitly - deleted dovecot.index.cache are recreated when Dovecot is restarted. The setting `mbox_min_index_size` tends to suggests it's only for mbox files, not maildirs? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, Stroller. [1] https://wiki.dovecot.org/IndexFiles

You can also try exporting the old mailboxes via NFS, and with some artful symlinks, march through your user mailboxes replacing the symlinks with the instantiated local copies and have almost zero downtime.

Can passdb be bypassed for non-plaintext authentication mechanisms
by Mark Foley 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

I am using Active directory authentication via gssapi for most users. In dovecot.conf I have: auth_mechanisms = plain login gssapi auth_use_winbind = yes I also have passdb { driver = shadow } userdb { driver = passwd } for those few users who are NOT AD users. Even though the AD users do not exist in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, Dovecot ALWAYS first looks them up in shadow, which ALWAYS fails. The https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase wiki says, "these databases can't be used with non-plaintext authentication mechanisms." Is there a way to bypass checking passdb (and userdb?) for these mechanism? --Mark

Upgrade to 2.2.32 from 2.2.15 failed

03 Dec '17

I have a problem. I have been running Dovecot 2.2.15 and I'd like to upgrade. My distro (Slackware) has dovecot 2.2.32 available. I downloaded and installed that, but it didn't work. No one was able to get messages from the dovecot server on their workstations. The following is the entire dovecot log file from startup to the last message generated. No more messages went into the logfile after line 76, even with clients trying to connect. The 174.233.134.88 IP is from an external user connecting from his iPhone. The normal successful message from this user are shown at bottom. I'm suspecting something to do with line 18 where is says "Auth process broken."

Dovecot (doveadm, ssl, sync) - SSL error
by Arkadiusz Majewski 03 Dec '17

Hello! I've got a problem to run syncing between both dovecot services on the separate servers. The error indicates to the problem with SSL. Directly using openssl command to connect from one server to other and vice versa is passed without any errors.

doveadm with 2-level user/domain quotas scheme
by Max Kostikov 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

Hi! I believe now it a right time to return to previous discussion about Dovecot's in 2-level user/domain quotas scheme wich was finished here https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-October/102346.html Here is configuration. 1. Dictionary storage placed in MySQL table "quota2" root@localhost [(none)]> SHOW COLUMNS FROM quota2 FROM exim; +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(100) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | bytes | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | | | messages | int(11) | NO | | 0 | | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0,00 sec) 2. Two types of quota - for domains with index "2" and for users without index. ... plugin { quota = dict:user_quota::proxy::sqluserquota quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_rule3 = Junk:storage=+10%% quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-exceeded 100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning4 = storage=75%% quota-warning 75 %u quota2 = dict:domain_quota:%d:proxy::sqldomainquota } dict { sqluserquota = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql-user.conf sqldomainquota = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql-domain.conf } service dict { unix_listener dict { user = mailnull mode = 0660 } } ... 3. Both stored in the same table and files "dovecot-dict-sql-user.conf" and "dovecot-dict-sql-domain.conf" are identical. connect = host=localhost dbname=exim user=user password=password map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = messages } All quotas for users and domains are calculates correctly until "doveadm quota recalc" use. root@beta:~ # doveadm quota recalc -u foo(a)my.domain root@beta:~ # doveadm quota get -u foo(a)my.domain Quota name Type Value Limit % user_quota STORAGE 7850978 - 0 user_quota MESSAGE 32474 - 0 domain_quota STORAGE 7850978 - 0 domain_quota MESSAGE 32474 - , 0 If we look at MySQL table directly foo(a)my.domain quota was counted right but last users data was copied into domains values. ... root@localhost [exim]> SELECT * FROM quota2 WHERE username LIKE '%my.domain'; +-------------------+-------------+----------+ | username | bytes | messages | +-------------------+-------------+----------+ | foo(a)my.domain | 8039401321 | 32474 | | my.domain | 8039401321 | 32474 | | john(a)my.domain | 3455382803 | 11142 | | mary(a)my.domain | 544637146 | 1965 | +-------------------+-------------+----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) ... Also you may see that "doveadm quota get" above gave wrong values. For domain its produces empty output root@beta:~ # doveadm quota get -u my.domain doveadm(my.domain): Error: User doesn't exist Quota name Type Value Limit % Than if we are trying to calculate quota for domain or for all users (-A) it produces an error. root@beta:~ # doveadm quota recalc -u my.domain doveadm(my.domain): Error: User doesn't exist root@beta:~ # doveadm quota recalc -A Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users So "doveadm quota" almost useless for such quotas scheme except single user. I wrote small shell-script "dovequota.sh" to resolve this issue but I believe that doveadm need to be fixed too. (script may be found here https://kostikov.co/problemy-uchyota-domennoj-kvoty-v-dovecot-2) -- With best regards, Max Kostikov BBM: 24CA5DF8 | W: https://kostikov.co

Re: Howto authenticate smartPhone via Active Directory

Actually you are authenticating gssapi clients from ad and everyone else from shadow. maybe you need to configure pam module? ---Aki TuomiDovecot oy -------- Original message --------From: Mark Foley <mfoley(a)ohprs.org> Date: 03/12/2017 06:03 (GMT+02:00) To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Howto authenticate smartPhone via Active Directory I have a Samba4 Active Directory server. Dovecot authenticates AD Users with domain credentials using GSSAPI (Thunderbird client). I believe I have Dovecot set to attempt authentication via shadow first and. failing that, it does authenticate via GSSAPI. Smartphones connect to Dovecot via port 143 and SSL. They are not domain members so if the shadow authentication fails, no other methods are tried and no connection is made.

I was previously putting together a very ugly MySQL stored procedure. Using Lua would be a lot easier (esp when it comes to returning an arbitrary number of columns). I'd love to see any test Lua code that the dovecot team has been playing around with (and realize it's not remotely production-ready, so don't worry about caveats I did have a couple of questions though: 1) Is the data returned by Lua auth not cacheable? I've got the following settings (and I'm just using Lua in the userdb lookup, not passdb -- passdb is doing a lightweight SQL lookup for username/password): auth_cache_negative_ttl = 1 mins auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_cache_ttl = 10 mins but I notice that every time I auth, it'll redo all the queries in my Lua code. I'd have expected that data to be served out of cache till the 10min TTL is up 2) Is there an appropriate way to return data with spaces in it (or presumably other non-alphanum chars. My quota name had a space in it, which somehow got interpreted as 'yes' , i.e.: imap: Error: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Unknown quota backend: yes I simply changed the space to an underscore as a workaround, but I'm curious if there's a better way. I tried various quoting without success. Didn't try escaping yet. 3) Can you elaborate on the "auth_request#response_from_template(template)" and "auth_request#var_expand(template)" functions? Specifically how to use them. I'm guessing that I could've used one of them to work around #2 (that it would have done the escaping for me) Thanks! ----- 1) I'll have to check this. 2) Instead of string, return a key value table. you can have spaces in values. 3) response_from_template expands a key=value string into table by var expanding values. var_expand can be used to interpolation for any purposes. it returns a string. see https://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for details on how to use it. Individual variable access is more efficient to do directly. --- Aki Tuomi
