Hi all
I'm trying to setup a dovecot proxy through and LDAP server.
I'm already using Perdition and it works very well but I would like to setup dovecot proxy for managesieve capabilities (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve?highlight=(sieve)|(proxy)#Proxy)
The version of dovecot is 1.1.16 but I can't understand how to setup dovecot correctly.
This is my dovecot.conf:
protocols = pop3 imap
disable_plaintext_auth = no
auth_debug_passwords=yes
auth_verbose=yes
syslog_facility = mail
ssl_disable = yes
login_process_per_connection = no
login_processes_count = 3
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
userdb static {
args = static uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/dev/null}
passdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf}
user = root
}
And the dovecot-ldap.conf
hosts = first second third
auth_bind = yes
auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=People,dc=unisa,dc=it
ldap_version = 3
deref = never
base = uid=%n, ou=people, dc=unisa,dc=it
pass_attrs = uid=user, userPassword=password, =proxy=1, mailHost=host, =nologin=1, =nodelay=1
After a telnet on localhost 143 I receive a logout error. In the log I find:
Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=9143 rport=52316 resp=AGFzcGFyAFNvZm9yaW50

Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: IMAP(XXXXXX): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/dev/null
Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(XXXXXX): Namespace initialization failed
The important elements into the ldap entry of user XXXXXX are:
dn: uid= XXXXXX,ou=people,dc=unisa,dc=it
uid: XXXXXX
userPassword: SomethingToMatch
mailHost: 10.10.10.1
Could you guide me to resolve the issue?
Thanks a lot
Alfonso
