I am trying to use dovecot with my virtual-hosting setup. I have all users in LDAP like uid=user,dc=domain.tld,o=myorganization for the user with the mail-address user@domain.tld. This is also the username that user should use for login, but it is nowhere in the ldap-db in this form together, just user and domain at their own places. Is it possible to authenticate with dovecot against such an ldap-directory?
If you don't have multiple domains, you could just authenticate the user using %n. E.g., in dovecot-ldap.conf: I have multiple domains.
If you do have multiple domains, it's not that more complicated: It looks like
o=myorganization
- dc=somedomain.tld
- dc=someotherdomain.tld
| + uid=someuser
| + uid=someotheruser
| \uid=user
\dc=domain.tld
- uid=someuser
- uid=someotheruser \uid=user
The user uid=user,dc=domain.tld,o=myorganization would have the following attributes (and no more than that): objectclass=top objectclass=mailuser uid=user cn=Joe sn=User userpassword=theuserscryptedpassword clearpassword=acleartextpassword mailmessagestore=/var/mail/domain.tld/user
user_filter = (&(uid=%n)(dc=%d)) pass_filter = (&(uid=%n)(dc=%d)) But that would only work, if dc was an attribute of my user (which it is not), wouldn't it?
