hi...
you can set more than one ldap config in dovecot:
passdb ldap { args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap1.conf } passdb ldap { args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap2.conf } userdb ldap { args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap1.conf } userdb ldap { args= /full/path/to/dovecot-ldap2.conf }
or you can set these in dovecot ldap config
user_filter= (&(|(uid=%u)(mail=%u))(.....))Anyway, i think you must config postfix to perform queries in apropiate setting parameters that you give from ldap with something like these:
query_filter= (&(|(mail=%s)(...))(....))
result_attribute= uid,mail,.....so, you can autenticate with uid or mail value.
Salu2!

Hi there,
I am setting up mail client with DoveCot and, at the same time, use Postfix to deliver message to DoveCot via LDA. I want to support having user name "jsmith" on my mail client, and that gets all messages for email address: dovecotdemo@domain. (The user name is different from what is in the email address). In addition, all user & password look up is handled by LDAP.
Here is my problem:
- my mail client will login as "jsmith", that goes through LDAP to find mail/home/password for this user. (this matches user name)
- When postfix delivers a message, DoveCot LDA will find a match with email address "dovecotdemo@domain", it goes through the same LDAP configuration. (this matches email address).
You can see the two search criteria are different, but by default they use the same passdb and userdb configuration. I want to use a different LDAP config. file for LDA to use, where it will match the email address (so that it is different from the default dovecot-ldap.conf, which is used by authentication).
DoveCot Deliver can specify a separate configuration file with "-c", so I tried that. But I cannot get LDA to use a different configuration. Would should be an example of config file used by Deliver?
Anyone running into this problem?
Thanks, Yan
