Hello list, I have an issue with dovecot and Ldap... Any help will be grateful...
I have my virtual users stored in an Active Directory database. I am using 2 attributes in AD to locate the user account: mail (their primary email address) and proxyAddresses (a multivalue attribute containing their mail aliases). I also control the mount point in which the mail is located with another attribute in AD, in this case I used "pager".
I have dovecot 1.2.15 and there are no immediate plans to upgrade it.
I configured Dovecot's deliver process in order to integrate sieve capability. I have configured userdb ldap and passdb ldap in Dovecot and have set up master and client sockets. I am using maildir format for directory layout.
The problem is to set the variables home and mail that will define the mail location. The format must be like this: home: /Mailboxes/<mount point>/<user login>/ mail: /Mailboxes/<mount point>/<user login>/Maildir
So, for a particular user (Login: user1, smtp: user1@domain1.com, alias smtp: user1_alias@domain1.com) the variables will be: home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/ mail: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/Maildir
Active Directory has the values in: mail:(user1@domain1.com), proxyAddresses:(user1_alias@domain1.com), sAMAaccountName(user1).
I have defined home and mail in dovecot-ldap.conf.
# User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The # internal names are: # uid - System UID # gid - System GID # home - Home directory # mail - Mail location # # There are also other special fields which can be returned, see # http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields user_attrs = pager=home=/mailboxes/%$/%u,mobile=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M
If the mail is sent to the Principal SMTP (user1@domain1.com) in which the user part (%u) is the same as sAMAccountName, it works. The variable home is set correctly (home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/). The problem is when the mail is sent to the smtp alias, in which the variable home is set incorrectly (home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1_alias/).
There is a way to set two values to user_attrs?, in this case I would need to set pager and sAMAccountName (instead of %u), to it.
Thanking you in anticipation...
Attached is the out of dovecot -n
