Hi,

I'm working on "avelsieve" SqurrelMail plug-in to implement SIEVE "file" back end for dovecot.

1. My be someone my explain me, how to use client auth socket to authenticate against dovecot-auth unix socket. As fas as I understood login must be sent in form "user\0\user\0password" as base64 encoded string.

pp code (I'm using socket used by postfix auth):

<?php $authstr = base64_encode('test@virtual.net\0test@virtual.net\0test'); $fp = fsockopen("unix:///var/spool/postfix/private/auth",0, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n"; } else { $out = "$authstr\r\n"; fwrite($fp, $out); while (!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); } ?>

Dovecot auth complains about syntax It seems 'auth mech' also is required. thus; how to correctly use dovecot client auth socket to authenticate? (some FAQ?, php sample code?)

2. [most important] dovecot LDA uses auth maser sockets to read userdb and get home directory path to deliver mail and locate sieve scripts. I need some home path to locate users sieve script. Wow to obtain it using dovecot auth sockets?

Tnx
