Auth Policy Server/wforce/weakforced
by Daniel Miller 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Is there explicit documentation available for the (probably trivial) configuration needed for Dovecot and Wforce? I'm probably missing something that should be perfectly obvious... Wforce appears to start without errors. I added a file to dovecot's conf.d: 95-policy.conf: auth_policy_server_url = http://localhost:8084/ auth_policy_hash_nonce = this_is_my_super_secret_something Looking at the Wforce console I see: WforceWebserver: HTTP Request "/" from 127.0.0.1:45108: Web Authentication failed In wforce.conf I have the (default): webserver("0.0.0.0:8084", "--WEBPWD") Do I need to change the "--WEBPWD"? Do I need to specify something in the Dovecot config? -- Daniel

Corrupted SSL parameters file in state_dir: ssl-parameters.dat
by Terry Jones 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dovecot 2.2.10 Centos 7 Linux 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 4 15:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have been experimenting with backup options to another server using dovadm and was trying to use the doveadm service as a workaround seeing as I couldn't decipher what the docs were saying about ssh. My doveadm stanza looks as follows: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 10101 ssl = yes } } If "ssl=no", a pushed "doveadm backup" from the remote machine works OK. But if I enable SSL, the doveadm backup on the remote machine hangs. And the destination machine prints the following two massages in the logs : Aug 4 17:10:31 bbb dovecot: doveadm: Error: Corrupted SSL parameters file in state_dir: ssl-parameters.dat - disabling SSL 360 Aug 4 17:10:31 bbb dovecot: doveadm: Error: Couldn't initialize SSL parameters, disabling SSL BUT : (1) /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat *DOES* exist. and (2) If I delete it and restart dovecot, it successully re-creates it, as per Aug 4 17:02:32 bbb dovecot: ssl-params: Generating SSL parameters Aug 4 17:06:58 bbb dovecot: ssl-params: SSL parameters regeneration completed

Problem switching from LDA to LMTP (with Postfix)
by Nikolaos Milas 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hello, I am trying to switch from LDA to LMTP on a Postfix/Dovecot setup, but something is going wrong. I have followed the directions at: https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP Here is a session from dovecot.log: Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: lmtp(3152): Connect from local Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: auth: ldap(imaptester(a)noa.gr): unknown user Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: lmtp(3152): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: lmtp(3152): Connect from local Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: auth: ldap(nmilas(a)noa.gr): unknown user Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: lmtp(3152): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: imap(nmilas): save: box=Sent, uid=31, msgid=<c84ae059-854d-12bc-6aa2-9099cc2977b2(a)noa.gr>, size=445, vsize=459, from=Nikolaos Milas <nmilas(a)noa.gr>, subject=Test (12) - vmail2, flags=(\Seen) What is going wrong? It seems authentication is not working correctly with this setup. If understand right, dovecot is querying ldap with the whole mail address and not with the local part only (which is the username), as I would expect. What is the suggested course of action? With LDA it was working fine; here is a sample log entry: Aug 4 12:02:51 vmail2 dovecot: lda(imaptester): sieve: msgid=<768b056c-1d12-c9bd-0864-c3fc6a6dbeda(a)noa.gr>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Aug 4 12:02:51 vmail2 dovecot: imap(nmilas): save: box=Sent, uid=30, msgid=<768b056c-1d12-c9bd-0864-c3fc6a6dbeda(a)noa.gr>, size=445, vsize=459, from=Nikolaos Milas <nmilas(a)noa.gr>, subject=Test (11) - vmail2, flags=(\Seen) Aug 4 12:02:51 vmail2 dovecot: imap(nmilas): Connection closed (noop finished 0.372 secs ago) in=628 out=2145 Please help me to figure out how things should be.

Replication and public folders with private (seen) flags

We started using Dovecot replication between two nodes and noticed that our configured private flags (INDEXPVT) in public/shared mailboxes are not replicated.

Doveadm-sync SSH practicalities
by Terry Jones 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hi, The documentation is somewhat silent on this subject. What permissions does the SSH user need ? How associated does it need to be with things like dovecot directory ownership etc ? Obviously my dovecot daemon processes are running as restricted users with "nologin" shells etc., and I don't really want to go opening them up if I don't have to. So could someone kindly please expand a little on how exactly doveadm-sync is supposed to work with SSH ? Thanks Terry
