I have successfully set up the master user on the destination server (2.0.11) and tests have worked. now I'm working on the proxy Before I had the proxy just forward everything to the backend and had the destination server do the authentication.
My authentication is done via LDAP but not really sure how to append the master user and password to the users credentials after authentication is done.
You should not save the master users credentials with the mail user credentials. Instead you should use a dedicated userdb and passdb.
For further reference have a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers.
id rather not have the master user/pass in each users ldap entry and returned after doing a lookup or add a destuser field for each user... basically i prefer not having to add any new attributes to LDAP
Can the information be stored locally in a file on the proxy? do i just make the same master user file that I have on the backend?
I don't undestand your question. You can either forward plaintext credentials to your backend or authenticate on your proxy and go with the proxys master user to your backend (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy).
