Hello,

I'm figuring out how to auth users against FreeIPA and I wonder if someone did this without GSAPI.

My users are stored in a mysql DB where I wonder what I shall use as authname, the username or the mailaddress. As the mailaddress is always unique it could be best but if a user has multiple mailaddresses under seperate domains username might be better.

Any clue here and maybe an example for dovecot-ldap.conf.ext when using FreeIPA ?

Thanks!

Matt

The best idea is to use same username as you use in FreeIPA. This way you can use passdb with ldap to authenticate your users, and mysql userdb to get the settings from MySQL.
