[Dovecot] auth failures

Hello, last week and today our dovecot pop3 server stopped responding. Without any other logentries dovecot start to log only this: Dec 12 09:14:12 mbox1 dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(testuser,192.0.2.110,<FBZH7lHtAQAK/FCj>): ldap_search(base=ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=de filter=(&(|(uid=testuser)(mail=testuser))(!(state=blocked)))) failed: Operations error For every pop3 Session, ~2000 per Minute ..., over 10 Minutes I send dovecot a SIGTERM. After dovecot was started again, all was fine again. # doveconf -n http://postmaster.datev.de/tmp/dovecot.conf The LDAP-Server itself did resond to queries in the same timeframe. I know this because the MTA on the same host was able to deliver messages into mailboxes. Any hints?

[Dovecot] External auth
by eechim enorniel 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I saw a lot of tutorials about setting postfix with dovecot sasl but I would like more. I want to set a SSO system with roundcube on dovecot. I would like to know how to make dovecot work with sasl or saml, not as a provider but as a service plugging on an external provider. I saw there is an EXTERNAL auth mechanism but I didn't find any doc about it. Can you help me ? Thanks.

[Dovecot] problem with password in a changing scenario
by Angel Luis Mateo Martinez 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I'm having a problem with with password changing. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Caching, I understand "normal scenario" and "Using old cached password scenario", but I'm having a problem with the "Early change scenario". I understand that in this case, if in step 4 user tries password Y, then this password is not tried again and login fails. But if the user tries another password Z, then is it test it? Or does it directly fail? I think that it is directly failing. And here is my problem... I am using dovecot with a ldap backend and another pam backend. The first one is users connecting with an email client. The other one applies when the ldap backend fails and it is use for connections from our webmail, which is integrated in our CAS SSO environment (it has running an imap proxy too). Sometimes (the only scenari we were able to reproduce is with users that for some reason has two SSO sessions opened) dovecot receives an invalid CAS ticket, then authentication fails, and no newer tickets are tried until cache is clean. That's why I think that in this scenario another Z password is even tried. Any idea? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] letters local filter duplicated
by John Smith 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

two servers with replicated master/master. dovecot.conf = http://pastebin.com/jVnvyWZM with this setup letters processed local filter duplicated. ie when the mail client receives a letter begins processing using rules (filters) to move the letters in a different folder. summarized in this folder is two duplicate letters. if you disable the filter, the message is not duplicated. But does not move to another location. -- Best Regards, Evgeny Senior System Administrator OOO "Vaz Service Hurley"
