Hello all,

I've been googling for a workaround for this for nearly a week to no avail and I hope someone in the list can shed some light on it.

I have downloaded and compiled dovecot 1.0.5 and applied the quota-warning to it. I have configured everything and it's working wonderfully, even the lda with the sieve plugin. This is my current relevant configuration:

userdb static{ args = uid=501 gid=12 home=/var/mail/buzones/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes }

passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }

However, I need to obtain some more data from LDAP, so I need to switch to an ldap userdb, but want to keep the home as it is in the static configuration and not having to store it in LDAP. Is it possible to use a fixed home (as in the static userdb) while using an ldap userdb? I am looking for something similar to user_global_uid and user_global_gid but for the "home". If not, is it possible to fix or append something to the values in the user_attrs (like the following)?

user_attrs = [whatever_i_want_to_append]uid=home uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid

Regards, David Bosque You're almost there - but not quite. Instead, you'll use the

pass_attrs = userPassword=password,userdb_somearg=ldapsomearg,etc.

You mean I should keep the userdb static and the passdb ldap, right?

When I do that:

userdb static{ args = uid=501 gid=12 }

passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }

In dovecot-ldap.conf : pass_attrs = uid=user,postOfficeBox=userdb_home

I get this:

As you can see, it is seeing the userdb_home attribute, but no using it where it should. However, if I set:

userdb prefetch { }

...it will do use the home set by userdb_home, but then I will have to store the home attribute in LDAP.

Is there any other way of using a static home (not stored in LDAP) but being able to use LDAP for quotas and other stuff?

Thanks a lot, David Bosque

With v1.0 you can kludge it:

plugin { home = /home/%d/%n }

If you use deliver you'll probably need new enough (1.0.5?) version for this to work.

With v1.1 it's possible to add "=home=/home/%d/%n" (IIRC) to user_attrs.

I'm using 1.0.5 and don't want to upgrade to 1.1 until it is released as stable. I've tried your suggestion, but it is not working even for a plain imap login. My configuration:

userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }

passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }

plugin { home = /var/mail/buzones/%n ... }

In dovecot-ldap.conf I have:

user_attrs = gidNumber=gid pass_attrs = uid=user

and the neccessary user and pass filters.

However, when I try to read my mail, I get this:

dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): ldap(dbosque,X.X.X.X): bind: dn=uid=dbosque,dc=cica,dc=cuentas,dc=cica,dc=es dovecot: Oct 29 14:48:37 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1

So, it's not picking up the home directory supposedly set in the plugin section. Is there any plugin to enable somewhere? I tried setting mail_plugins = home and it gave me an error ;-). Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help. David Bosque
