Hi,
I am building a custom server platform in which dovecot is used
for imap/pop . But the default authentication mechanism is not
suitable for me becuase each domain will have different system
users and different location for mail storage . So I need to
create a custom authentication mechanism using python . There is
an option to use Key-value authentication (dict) database via
socket as per
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/dict/#complete-example-for-authenticating-via-a-unix-socket
The above documentation link have a sample perl script too to
send authentication to
uri = proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket:somewhere
So my question is how the inputs are send to the socket file ? in
which format ?
How the result return ? and in which format ?
Let us say I can create a python socket program that can listen to
/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket for getting the inputs from
dovecot , but what is the format
Is it like the following
AUTH PLAIN
USER test@myemail.com
PASS mypassword
I looked into the documentation and developer documentation, I am
unable to see how dovecot send the data , I can see a sample
perl for answering dict lookups. Any one have a python
alternative for it. ?
