Hi!

Are there any plans to extend the special variables you can use for ldap query strings (%u,%n,etc)? For instance, say you have an ldap schema like this with multiple domains in a single top-level-domain:

dc=domain_1,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_2,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_3,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_4,dc=tld_2 dc=domain_5,dc=tld_2 dc=domain_6,dc=tld_2

Now dovecot (latest CVS snapshot) offers, among others, the following variable:

%d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there is no domain

But, what if dovecot could offer something like this:

%1-9 = domain tokens (%1 = tld, %2 = domain when %d = domain.tld) (actually, these variables are present in auth_ldap module for saslauthd)

This way people could create a query like this (just an example):

base = ou=some_ou,dc=%2,dc=%1

I know I could modify my ldap schema to:

dc=domain_1.tld_1 dc=domain_2.tld_1 ....

and it would be solved by using %d, however those "new" variables could be useful, what do you think?

Cheers,
