hi, i'd like to use dovecot to authenticate from ldap. in ldap each user has it's uniq uid and gid. unfortunately with postfix we can't use uniq uid/gid since in this case we have ot create all user's home in advance. so we decided to use uniq uid and a common gid in postfix since in this case postfix can create new users maildir and deliver new mails. so i'd like to use everyone's own uid in dovecot, but a common gid (same as in postfix). but how can i do so? i read the wiki, but the problem is if i use: auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf then i have to define ldap attrib name in dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = mail,,,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber what should i use in the last field in user_attrs? or it's not possible with dovecot to define this? i'd be very said in this case:-( any advice? thanks in advance. yours.
