Hello,
I have Director setup to proxy requests to backend servers. This works fine when using "standard" username/passwords.
I am not try to enable the use of the Dovecot Master user through Director into the backend servers.
a.) username is being sent as masteruser*username b.) request hits the proxy and authenticates, and then is passed to the backend servers and fails auth.
- logs from proxy/Director point of view.
auth: Info:
passwd-file(masteruser,172.31.33.224,master,
imap-login: Info: proxy(devteam): Login failed to backend.servers:143
(master masteruser): [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.:
user=<devteam>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.31.33.224, lip=192.168.71.20,
session=
- logs from backend server point of view.
imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<masterusername>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.71.20, lip=192.168.71.99, session=<O8QN8kNlloXAqEcU>
Proxy/Director Configs (hopefully this is enough)
auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/master-user-password master = yes pass = yes }
passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y }
Please let me know if I can provide any further details.
Thanks in advance.
