Does this work for auth_passdb_lookup too, or just auth_userdb_lookup? I've been returning a table with auth_userdb_lookup just fine. But when I try using it with passdb (and despite being very very sure that a 'password' key exists in the table I'm returning from auth_passdb_lookup() -- I'm logging it one line above the return), the passdb auth fails with this log entry:
Dec 21 23:29:22 auth-worker(7779): Info: lua(test1@test.com,10.20.103.32,<dSvLQuZg+uIKFGcg>): No password returned (and no nopassword)
I guess it's not seeing the password key in the table I'm returning. If I return a concat'd string ("password=... user=...") from auth_passdb_lookup(), it works just fine.
I was also curious if there's a way to pass info between auth_userdb_lookup and auth_passdb_lookup. I was trying to use a table with auth_passdb_lookup() so I could take advantage of prefetch and thought that if auth_passdb_lookup didn't take a table, I could stash data away and then un-stash it in auth_userdb_lookup
Thanks!
- response_from_template expands a key=value string into table by var expanding values.
var_expand can be used to interpolation for any purposes. it returns a string. see https://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for details on how to use it.
Individual variable access is more efficient to do directly.

I'm on rc1, so I appear to already have that git commit (as part of rc1).
# /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 2.3.0.rc1 (12aba5948)
For testing this, I tried replacing my passdb lookup with this:
function auth_passdb_lookup(req) passdb_table = {} passdb_table[ 'password' ] = 'test' passdb_table[ 'user' ] = 'test1@test.com'
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, passdb_tableend
and still get:

Replacing that return statement with this:
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, 'password=test user=test1@test.com'
authenticates successfully.

As a matter of 'best practices', in my current iteration of Lua auth, I moved all my lookups to passdb (thus yesterday's emails to the list), so that it could be used with prefetch. Belatedly realizing that LMTP doesn't touch passdb, I rewrote the userdb lookup to call the same passdb lookup (which only happens for non-passdb/prefetch things) and then it copies the return table (but strips the 'userdb_' prefix). It's all working currently. BUT, does that sound sane? Or is there some gotcha I'm heading towards (yes, I realize the question is a bit vague -- just looking for very general "No, don't do that").
I'm curious too if I can set vars in the passdb lookup and then access then in userdb. Or is it random which auth-worker will handle the userdb lookup, relative to which one handled the passdb lookup? I tried dropping things in the req.userdb table in the passdb phase, but it was unset during the userdb phase.

The best way is to export userdb_variables from passdb lookup. The userdb table itself is currently read-only, but yeah, it might be a good idea actually to support writing like this at some point.
