What surprise me is this line during the authentication: ===> auth(arodier@red2team,10.10.2.19): username changed arodier@red2team -> arodier
That means that the username gets changed from %n = arodier and %d = redteam2 to %n = arorier and %d = empty. So I don't understand why %d would ever be anything else than empty.
Thanks Timo,
it was what I thought. However, even if I know know the cause, it doesn't help me too much to do what I want.
In the link provided, none of the reason is applied in my settings.
- My auth_username_format is set to the full username+domain, event empty, it's dropped.
- I use LDAP, not SQL, so I don't know how to return the domain from my query.
The question is now, how can I return both the username and the domain from LDAP, please ? Once I have the answer, I can add the information to the wiki page.
However, it seems I can use this method, specified on this page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/Userdb:
You can add static fields that aren't looked up from LDAP (v1.1.rc5+). For example create a "mail" field with value "/var/vmail/%d/%n": user_attrs =
quotaBytes=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,
=mail=/var/vmail/%d/%nIt is exactly what I want to do. But once I have created a "mail" field, how can I access this field from the main dovecot configuration file, please ?
Thanks for your answer and your patience.
Once I have finished to setup my environment, I'll publish a document to help others.
Kind regards,
Hello again, Timo, I am nearly there.
I finally got it working, using the ldap prefetch option. I don't know why, but it is only in this way that the '%d' domain is kept after the authentication:
Now, this line is normally resolved in my private namespace (mail location) => location = maildir:/home/emails/%d/%%n/Maildir:
In my dovecot ldap configuration:
-8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hosts = callisto.red2.srv thebe.red2.srv auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=red2,dc=srv scope = subtree user_attrs = gosaMailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M,=home=/home/emails/%d/%n,=mail=/home/emails/%d/%n, mail_plugins user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) pass_attrs = uid=uid,userPassword=password,\
=userdb_home=/home/emails/%d/%n,gosaMailQuota=userdb_quotarule=*:storage=%$M pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)(ou=%d)) default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 -8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, I now need to cleanup and remove all options that are not needed.
Kind regards, André
