i have made a file "/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext"
hosts = 10.10.1.3 base = dc=robina,dc=private ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,cn=home,ou=robina_users,dc=robina,dc=private pass_attrs = uid=user pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))
i have also uncommented out the "include" line in the file10-auth.conf
tried testing it by doing a telnet on my local host but it cant find my user, any suggestions
many thanks

Sorry for top posting, don't mean to, looks like my outlook mobile client does it by default
Ok great thanks Daniel for this, also do you know if I have to change/edit the config files for postfix/openldap as well or just for dovecot
Thank you

That's great thanks,
One thing tho I did a "ls /etc/dovecot" and I don't see a dovecot-ldap.conf
Do I need to create that file or install it via yum?
Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated

Sent from my Windows Phone Hi Rob,
please don't top-post. On mailinglists it is custom, to write replies below the previous post.
I don't use Fedora/CentOS/RH, so I don't really know, but in Debian* there is the LDAP part in a separate package. Maybe it is so in your case too.....
I just looked at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/dovecot/contents and it seems its all in 1 package, and you'll just have to copy it from /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/ to /etc/dovecot.
Greetings Daniel

hi all,
first things first my version and config -
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {

}
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
i have installed dovecot+ postfix email server and a
LDAP server, if i create users on the LDAP server can dovecot pick up
the usernames and create a mailbox for the individual users
as atm
if i want to create an email address for users i add the user to the
email server and make a directory for the users mailbox and have to
chmod and chown
also just another question, can i set up mail groups on dovecot?
cheers
rob
Hi Rob,
all you need to do is figure out what the attribute in your LDAP tree is, that holds the email address. Then configure uris, dn, dnpass, [tls*], base, scope, user_attrs, user_filter, iterate_attrs and iterate_filter in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext and uncomment the include line in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

Good luck Daniel
