Dear All,
Is it possible to store shared folder lists in an LDAP Directory along with your virtual users?
You could have LDAP return namespaces. First define a private namespace in dovecot.conf, and then return another from LDAP. You'd have to return fields like:
namespace_2=maildir:/shared/boxes namespace_2_prefix=Shared/
Or you could just configure the second namespace in dovecot.conf as well and just override the location with namespace_2.
Sounds all good, but I can't find any info about LDAP lookups for namespaces on the wiki.
This isn't specific to either namespaces or LDAP. You can override any setting with any userdb (that's documented, http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields). The internal names for namespace settings aren't documented anywhere though, and they're going to change in Dovecot v2.0.
If this is a often requested feature, should we do a dovecot.schema file for these kind of things. I'd be willing to develop/discuss one and contribute it.
First I've heard. :)
