hi-
i'm using ldap for user authentication, and would like to use different ldap lookups for authentication happening via postfix
(smtp auth) vs. authentication happening through dovecot (imap logins).
how can this be done, without running multiple instances?Unfortunately currently you can't. The best you can do is to use %s
in the ldap filters or base, but that probably won't be enough for you.thanks for the confirmation. has this been considered? in my
particular case, we have users who can receive and retrieve mail,
but not send mail, defined by the groups they belong to in our
directory tree. would the ability to define discrete lookups (based
on the service? - maybe other criteria as well?) also be useful in
other scenarios?
Yes, it's been planned for a long time. v1.3 has rewritten
configuration handling which makes this easier to implement. But I'm
not sure if v1.3 yet will support this, perhaps it'll have to wait
until v2.0.
