ACL, master-user, master-password works fine because with regular configuration shared folders works fine and also with master-user or with master-password I can login and see and access to shared/ namespace and shared folders.
But when I try to switch location from
location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
to
location = imapc:~/Maildir/shared/%%u/ [...] imapc_host = 10.0.0.202 imapc_master_user = %u #imapc_user = %u imapc_password = Password imapc_features = search
stop working.
The relevant error is this:

Please note "Authenticating as test1@testemail.net for user test2@testemail.net" failed.
So my question is, the documentation page is update and right or I missing something? Hi,
from my perspective it is likely that test1@testemail.net can't be authenticated as a master user which is required for this setup to work.
From the cluster setup page:
"You’ll need to setup master user logins to work for all the users. The logged in user becomes the master user. The master user doesn’t actually have any special privileges. "
Hi,
after some days of debug I have found a solution to have shared folders works via imapc, even if partially.
First, in the documentation page there is an error, the right "location" should be like this:
location = imapc:%%h/Maildir
with %%h/ instead of ~/
After I have setup two passdb like these:
passdb { driver = static args = password=P4ssw0rd result_success = continue }
passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext master = yes result_success = continue }
where the first is required (only on backend dovecot) when the sharing user (test2) need to login (with imapc_password) and the second (both in director and backend dovecot) when the "test1" need to login into sharing (test2) account like master user.
So acl debug works fine:
# doveadm acl debug -u test1@emailtest.net shared/test2/Sent doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: imapc(10.0.0.202:143): Connected to 10.0.0.202:143 (local 10.0.0.203:39698) doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: imapc(10.0.0.202:143): Connected to 10.0.0.202:143 (local 10.0.0.203:39700) doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: Mailbox 'Sent' is in namespace 'shared/test2/' doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: Mailbox path: /home/vmail/domains/emailtest.net/test2/Maildir/.Sent doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: All message flags are shared across users in mailbox doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: User test1@emailtest.net has rights: lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert expunge doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: Mailbox found from dovecot-acl-list doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: User test2@emailtest.net found from ACL shared dict doveadm(test1@emailtest.net): Info: Mailbox shared/test2/Sent is visible in LIST
But the are still some issues, if the sharing ring is like "test2 share a folder with test1 that share a folder with test3 that share a folder test2" dovecot have a loop until max_user_connections is reached. Probably until option "acl_ignore_namespace" will be available we cannot solve this.
Moreover, if both test1 and test2 mark as read/unread the same message in a shared folder dovecot have some indexes issue:
Apr 25 21:03:56 Error: imap(test2@emailtest.net) session=<H5EBptDA3IgKQgTL>: Mailbox Sent: Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file /home/vmail/domains/emailtest.net/test2/Maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.log (WRITE lock held by pid 6181) Apr 25 21:03:56 Warning: imap(test1@emailtest.net) session=<6Kn/pdDAHKxT07oG>: Transaction log file /home/vmail/domains/emailtest.net/test2/Maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.log was locked for 180 seconds (Mailbox was synchronized) Apr 25 21:03:56 Warning: imap(test2@emailtest.net) session=<7d2ppdDAFKxT07oG>: Locking transaction log file /home/vmail/domains/emailtest.net/test2/Maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.log took 178 seconds (syncing)
probably because INDEXPVT is not supported in imapc?
So, I should wait until 2.3.15 to have shared mailboxes via imapc work fine or I missing something? Hi,
when configuring the shared namespace like this:
location = imapc:%%h/Maildir
It only works because imapc using Maildir format internally too. This way Dovecot is told to use the sharing users home as the location for imapc indexes for the current user. That is probably the reason for the troubles with the lock transaction file. You should change it to something like this:
location = imapc:~/shared/%%u
When configured like this, the current user will store indexes for accessing the shared mailbox under the "shared" prefix in it's home directory and create folders for each user that shared mailboxes to the current user.
Hi Markus,
I understand and agree that with "imapc:~/shared/%%u" indexes are stored in the right home directory for each user but I still found an issue with this configuration, and is that dovecot is looking for the "dovecot-acl" file in the wrong path, so was unable to reading rights for the mailbox, that is not visibile to user.
Please look these tests where I run:
doveadm -D acl debug -u test1@emailtest.net shared/test2/Sent
with location = imapc:~/shared/%%u dovecot-acl was not found:

with traditional mailbox sharing location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u dovecot-acl was found:

So, what is exactly the argument after "imapc:"?
Where dovecot store indexes for user test1 or where dovecot looks for "dovecot-acl", that is under test2 home? Cannot be both since are things in different user's home directory.
Or am I wrong?
Hi,
i think you are right, but the problem here is that Dovecot attempts to access the ACL locally because it does not yet have the "acl_ignore_namespace" setting. This is used to tell Dovecot to not check for ACLs for the given namespace prefix. So if no ACL locally is preventing the access to the shared namespace, an imapc connection will be established and ACLs will be checked on the backend where the connection arrives. Which can be the current one or another one. The access to the other backend then will be happening with the current user as master user, trying to access the sharing users mailbox, this is the situation where ACLs will/should be applied.
Markus
