Hello Steffen and List,

Thanks for the answer and help,

I mean I found the biggest problem it is "auth_bind_userdn = "

please read the rest ;-)

I setup ldap (FreeIPA) to have a user for dovecot that can (read search compare) all attributes that I need for dovecot.

I must also have mailAlternateAddress

When I make a ldapsearch with this user, I found all I need to configure dovecot.

doveadm auth test office and doveadm auth test office@examle.com

with success authentication

but when I make a doveadm auth test info@example.co (mailAlternateAddress)

I guess the missing 'm' in .co is a typo?

;-) Yes

Do you find doveadm user -u office doveadm user -u office@examle.com doveadm user -u info@example.com

yes this is working with all user ?

doveadm user -u office userdb: office user : office home : /srv/vmail/office uid : 10000 gid : 10000

doveadm user -u info@example.com userdb: info@example.com user : office home : /srv/vmail/office uid : 10000 gid : 10000

...

I have a broken authentication

Can any give me a hint what is wrong, or is this not possible ?

Show us your LDAP record of this user. this is a result from ldapsearch with dovecots special user, from the dovecot system!

ldapsearch -w 'XXXXXXXXXXX' -h ipa.example.com -D 'uid=system,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com' -s sub -b 'dc=example,dc=com' 'mail=office@example.com'

I can also search for 'mailAlternateAddress=info@example.com' with the same result.

# Distinguished Name - the username used to login to the LDAP server. # Leave it commented out to bind anonymously (useful with auth_bind=yes). dn = uid=system,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com

# Password for LDAP server, if dn is specified. dnpass = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

# Use SASL binding instead of the simple binding. Note that this changes # ldap_version automatically to be 3 if it's lower. Also note that SASL binds # and auth_bind=yes don't work together. sasl_bind = yes # SASL mechanism name to use. sasl_mech = gssapi # SASL realm to use. sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.COM # SASL authorization ID, ie. the dnpass is for this "master user", but the # dn is still the logged in user. Normally you want to keep this empty. sasl_authz_id = imap/mx01.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM

Dunno with SASL and Co.

OK, OK this was a Test and I reverting this ;-). Now I have #sals_bind = yes

This is my next Problem, to find out is this correct working on my system ;-).

...

# Use authentication binding for verifying password's validity. This works by # logging into LDAP server using the username and password given by client. # The pass_filter is used to find the DN for the user. Note that the pass_attrs # is still used, only the password field is ignored in it. Before doing any # search, the binding is switched back to the default DN. auth_bind = yes

# If authentication binding is used, you can save one LDAP request per login # if users' DN can be specified with a common template. The template can use # the standard %variables (see user_filter). Note that you can't # use any pass_attrs if you use this setting. # # If you use this setting, it's a good idea to use a different # dovecot-ldap.conf.ext for userdb (it can even be a symlink, just as long as # the filename is different in userdb's args). That way one connection is used # only for LDAP binds and another connection is used for user lookups. # Otherwise the binding is changed to the default DN before each user lookup. # # For example: # auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,ou=people,o=org # auth_bind_userdn = uid=%n,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com

That one looks strange, you really have an account (uid=office@examle.com) ?

I mean I don't understand this in the Moment (?), but I can comment out this ?

I make now also Tests with commented out "#auth_bind_userdn = uid=%n...."

now the tests are WORKING !!!

now I have to find out the correct syntax for auth_bind_userdn !!! when it is possible ?

...

# Search scope: base, onelevel, subtree scope = subtree #scope = onelevel

# User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The # internal names are: # uid - System UID # gid - System GID # home - Home directory # mail - Mail location # # There are also other special fields which can be returned, see # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields #user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_attrs = uid=user,uid=home=/srv/vmail/%$,=uid=10000,=gid=10000

# Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for full list): # %u - username # %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain # %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if user there's no domain user_filter = (&(objectClass=mailrecipient)(|(uid=%Ln)(mail=%Lu) (mailAlternateAddress=%Lu)))

If doveadm user -u info@example.co returns your entry, this filter is OK.

Yes, this filter is OK ;-)

...

# Password checking attributes: # user: Virtual user name (user@domain), if you wish to change the # user-given username to something else # password: Password, may optionally start with {type}, eg. {crypt} # There are also other special fields which can be returned, see # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,mailAlternateAddress=user

you cannot return two values for user, I guess you like to have "uid", so

pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password

OK, I change it back, this are only tests to found the correct setup for dovecot

...

# Filter for password lookups #pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=mailrecipient)(|(uid=%Ln)(mail=%Lu) (mailAlternateAddress=%Lu)))

Looks good, if doveadm user -u info@example.co returns something sensible, beause the user filter is the same.

:-)

...

# Attributes and filter to get a list of all users iterate_attrs = uid=user, mailAlternateAddress=user

same as pass_attr.

...

iterate_filter = (objectClass=posixAccount)

Looks strange, should be

iterate_filter = (objectClass=mailrecipient)

Is changed to your Parameters

...

# Default password scheme. "{scheme}" before password overrides this. # List of supported schemes is in: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication #default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

I say it before with commented out "auth_bind_userdn" the authentication is also working now with "mailAlternateAddress= xxxxxxxxx"

Many thanks to hint me ;-)
