I'm trying to allow domain-less logins for a multi-domain virtual IMAP server, and wondering if I can automatically infer the domain (value of variable %d) from the local IP (%l) or the hostname used by the client when connecting to my server.
Let's say I have two host names: mail.foo.org (10.0.0.100) and mail.bar.com (10.0.0.200), with forward and reverse DNS configured to resolve A and PTR records in either direction.
Let's also say I have 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.200 set up as secondaries on my server's loopback interface, and routing is set up to bring client traffic to me for both of those IP addresses.
Hm, it should be possible like so:
- keep the file you have now as 2nd passdb, in order to let your users login like now from anywhere
user1@foo.org:{PLAIN}user1foo
- from this file create another passwd-file with ExtraField via script / cron jobs, that defines
user1@10.0.0.100:{PLAIN}user1foo:::::user=user1@foo.org
see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields
Maybe allow_nets could limit the clients further.
Then add another passdb section pointing to that file using username_format=%n@%l
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
That will map domain-less logins to full mail addresses, which in turn sets %d, too.
That *almost* worked :)
I now have
passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n@%l /var/lib/topgen/etc/postfix/users }
pointing to a "users" file with entries such as
user1@10.0.0.100:{PLAIN}user1foo:::::user=user1@foo.org
The only trouble is, %d does not get set; I get new "user1" and "user2" folders created directly under /var/lib/vmail/, which indicates the %d portion is equal to the empty string.
I also tried
user1@111.0.10.10:{PLAIN}tartans1:::::domain=foo.org
which the PasswordDatabase wiki page says should override %d, but still no luck...
Thanks for the pointer though, now that I read the relevant bits of documentation it feels like I'm really close, and this *should* work. I'm still either missing something, or tickling a bug (probably the former :)
Thanks, --Gabriel
The relevant bits of my dovecot.conf are:
---%<------------------------------------------------------------------ mail_location = maildir:/var/lib/vmail/%d/%n passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /var/lib/vmail/etc/postfix/userdb } userdb { driver = static args = uid=dovenull gid=dovenull home=/var/lib/vmail/%d/%n } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------
And my userdb passwd-file right now includes:
---%<------------------------------------------------------------------ user1@foo.org:{PLAIN}user1foo user2@foo.org:{PLAIN}user2foo user1@bar.com:{PLAIN}user1bar user2@bar.com:{PLAIN}user2bar ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now, user1@foo.org must configure their imap client like so:
IMAP server: mail.foo.org username: user1@foo.org password: user1foo
I would like to require this (and other) users to only have to set:
IMAP server: mail.foo.org username: user1 password: ...
and have dovecot somehow infer the "@foo.org" domain based on the fact that the connection was made to 10.0.0.100, which is mail.foo.org, and therefore the domain can *only* be "@foo.org".
I could start out by splitting my user database into two files:
userdb.foo.org ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------ user1:{PLAIN}user1foo user2:{PLAIN}user2foo ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------
userdb.bar.com ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------ user1:{PLAIN}user1bar user2:{PLAIN}user2bar ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------
... then modify dovecot.conf's passdb setup like so:
---%<------------------------------------------------------------------ passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /var/lib/vmail/etc/postfix/userdb.%d } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------
... but how would I insure that %d is set to the proper value based on e.g. a reverse lookup of %l, which, in foo.org's case would be 10.0.0.100, and resolve to mail.foo.org, and *somehow* that would match %d == "@foo.org" ?
Is this even possible in the first place, or am I just being too fussy about the aesthetics of my users' imap client config files ? :) :)
Thanks much, --Gabriel
