Not to be grumpy, but I've posted a dozen or more message to this list in the past week about what I think might be relatively common/easy issues and have had zero response except from Rick Romero who is trying, but hasn't actually done what I need himself. I'm sure someone has. Perhaps these problem are too mundane compared to CalDAV, sieve filtering and IPA to excite List interest? Come on Dovecotters! Let's step up to the plate!
To follow up on my previous posting in this thread, I'm trying to get checkpassword to work. I have confirmed that it is setting the environment variables as described in (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword). My debug output of env variables sent to checkpassword-reply:
$USER=mark userdb_uid=3000026 userdb_gid=100 INSECURE_SETUID=1 EXTRA=userdb_uid userdb_gid
I have confirmed that my checkpassword program returns 0 authenticating the user with the AD:
fork pid = 4239, ntlm_auth status: 0
The pid listed above is the pid of the forked /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply program. For testing purposes, I've replaced that with a stub of my own that shows the set environment variables so I know checkpassword-reply is getting them (listed above).
Notice in the log messages below that everything looks correct. It has the correct username, UID, GID, client passdb out: OK. No error in the log that I can see.
I believe I've done everything exactly as documented in the wiki, but it doesn't work I get the Outlook message "Your IMAP server closed the connection ... Error Code: 0x800CCCDD". Finally, I tried setting:
chgrp dovecot /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply chmod g+s /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply
As the wiki suggested and setting the env variable INSECURE_SETUID=1. Same error.
Googling the 0x800CCCDD code simply says to turn of scheduled send/received, but that makes no different. Same error.
I believe I've done everything exactly according to the documentation. Does checkpassword actually work with Dovecot version 2.2.15? If not, could someone please tell me so I can stop wasting my time. If it does work, can someone please help me figure out why it does not for me?
Thanks -- Mark

I'm experimenting with checkpassword as an auth method for usedb and passdb (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword). I've set up the userdb and passdb *exactly* as the wiki suggests as the "standard way":
passdb { driver = checkpassword args = /user/util/bin/checkpassword } userdb { driver = prefetch }
I've created a checkpassword program that does receive the correct user and password from dovecot. And I am successfully authenticating with ntlm_auth and exiting with status 0. My debug output:
AUTHORIZED: (null) USER: (null) userdb_uid: (null) userdb_gid: (null) arg1=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply CMD: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username="mark" --password='mypass' ntlm_auth status: 0
Now, the wiki says 2 things that have me stumped:
- It says that, "Dovecot calls the script with AUTHORIZED=1 environment set when performing a userdb lookup. The script must acknowledge this by changing the environment to AUTHORIZED=2, otherwise the lookup fails."
As you can see from my program log, "AUTHORIZED" is not set. Why? Nor are any of the other environment variables mentioned in the wiki. I've listed all the environment variables that *are* passed to the program at the bottom of this message.
- The wiki says, "Your program received a path to checkpassword-reply binary as the first parameter. Execute it."
I did so as a fork() and then execve("/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply") How do I know it worked ... or failed?
What am I doing wrong?
