[Dovecot] Different PROXY for IMAP and POP3 using LDAP-auth

4 Jul 2008

      Hello everybody!
I'm trying to configure dovecot 1.1.1 with different proxy hosts and/or
ports for different protocols (IMAP, POP3). I'm using LDAP for
authentication.
I've tried:

Variable in "auth default" configuration:

[dovecot.conf]
passdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf
}
userdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf
}
With results in dovecot not starting with error message:
Can't open configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf:
No such file or directory
So %Ls was not replaced.

Variable in pass_attrs
[dovecot-ldap.conf]
pass_attrs = 

uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,

uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,

dovecotProxy%Ls=proxy,dovecotHost%Ls=host,dovecotPort%Ls=port
With results in this LDAP server log entries:
SRCH attr=uid userPassword homeDirectory uidNumber gidNumber
dovecotProxy%Ls dovecotHost%Ls dovecotPort%Ls
So %Ls was not replaced also.

mmmh...
Would it be an option to use multiple "auth" sections?
E.g:
auth pop3 {
...
passdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-pop3.conf
}
userdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-pop3.conf
}
...
}
auth imap {
...
passdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-imap.conf
}
userdb ldap {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-imap.conf
}
...
}
I'm in doubt because of

Any ideas?
