Hello,
i want to create following scenario:
one dovecot using ONLY LDA (using sql )
# 1.2.6: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid xfs log_path: /var/log/dovecot/error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log log_timestamp: %FT%T%z protocols: none listen: none disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: postmaster@domain.com mail_plugins: quota sieve deliver_log_format: from=%f msgid=%m: %$ auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info2.log auth default: mechanisms: plain login verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/mail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: dict:user::file:/home/mail/%d/%n/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_rule: *:storage=500M:messages=10000 quota_warning: storage=95%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh quota_warning2: storage=80%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh global_script_path: /home/mail/globalsieverc
other 4 dovecots for serving imaps pop3s (each will have own ssl certificate and using own ip address)
my idea is using only one auth mechanism provided by dovecot LDA (above) - eg using one SQL connection
question is, how to force other 4 dovecots use auth from LDA dovecot ?
is possible to do this ?
is enough to use:
auth external { socket connect { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } } }
Thank you for advices and help.
