Hello,
I've been doing some more tests with this problem I have (I need to solve it because I'm planning to migrate mailboxes from maildir to mdbox and I need to change mail_location for my users without rebooting the server).
I think I have found the source of the problem, although I don't know how to fix it. The problem is that I have different results if I ask for user information with just the login or with the whole email:
root@myotis30:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveadm user angel.luis@um.es userdb: angel.luis@um.es mail : mdbox:/home/alumnos/46/113246/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/mdbox/angel.luis home : /home/alumnos/46/113246 uid : 113246 gid : 1001 quota_rule: *:storage=10G root@myotis30:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveadm user angel.luis userdb: angel.luis home : /home/alumnos/46/113246 uid : 113246 gid : 1001 quota_rule: *:storage=10G
I guess I'm using different keys depending the user database used. I have configured three user databases, one for master-password, one for a ldap server and the other with pam (I need it because my webmail users authenticate in my SSO system through PAM).
This is my config:passdb { driver = passwd-file master = yes args = /etc/dovecot/master-users
# Unless you're using PAM, you probably still want the destination user to # be looked up from passdb that it really exists. pass=yes does that. pass = yes }
passdb { driver = pam # [session=yes] [setcred=yes] [failure_show_msg=yes] [max_requests=<n>] # [cache_key=<key>] [<service name>] #args = dovecot args = session=yes cache_key=%n dovecot }
passdb { driver = ldap
# Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext }
# "prefetch" user database means that the passdb already provided the # needed information and there's no need to do a separate userdb lookup. # <doc/wiki/UserDatabase.Prefetch.txt> userdb { driver = prefetch }
userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
# Default fields can be used to specify defaults that LDAP may override #default_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u }
In my ldap configuration, I have a filter that looks for the uid of the user or the hole email:
user_filter = (&(<other requirements>)(|(uid=%u)(mail=%u)))
I need this, because I have users that authenticate with just his/her login, not the complete email address.
How can I unify those entries, so they use always just the login as key?El 18/09/12 18:31, Timo Sirainen escribió:

So I'm running this command. Whenever I run it, I get the message that 3 (sometimes, is 4) entries are removed, but user information isn't really reloaded and I doubt it is really removed from cache (I have the user in a passwd-file and information used by imap processes is still the old one, no the new one, changed before the flush)
Works in my tests.
Is this cache the same than the user information cache?
Yes.
The parameter of the user I want to change is his quota, so I have modified quota value in my ldap diretory, then I run:
doveadm auth cache flush <myuser>
What is your doveconf -n output and the dovecot-ldap.conf contents? Is <myuser> with or without @domain? Also try this:
doveadm auth cache flush foo # make sure it isn't there doveadm user foo doveadm auth cache flush foo
Does the second flush return 1 or 0 entries? If 0, then there's a problem. If 1, then it really should have worked.
You could try also if disabling userdb prefetch makes any difference. And if you still have multiple userdb try with only one.
