[Dovecot] dovecot: lda(foo): Error: User foo doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database
Hello everyone,
I have a small problem with dovecot installed on ubuntu-13.10. I use dovcot as LDA with a LDAP-passdb and a pam-passdb. The userdb is static. A mail to LDAP-user 'foo' is delivered with the error-message
dovecot: lda(foo): Error: User foo doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database
A mail to the pam-user 'bar' will deliverd without this error. But both users should work with the static-userdb. Where is my mistake?
Greetings Christian

Your LDAP based userdb doesn't return the home directory for user foo. The LDAP lookup should return the home directory. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase
And even for virtual users you should have a home directory for each virtual user. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home
A mail to the pam-user 'bar' will deliverd without this error. But both users should work with the static-userdb. Where is my mistake?
Because the userdb returns the home directory of the system user bar.

Hello Pascal,
but I didn't configure a userdb with driver=ldap. There is only one userdb with driver=static and I assumed, that every user gets the same uid, gid and a valid home directory.
Are there some circumstances, that different passdb-drivers treated in special relation to userdb-drivers? Like, one have to configure a userdb-driver=ldap if one uses a passdb-driver=ldap. But the passdb-driver=pam looks into userdb-driver=static. That is the part, I do not understand.

What is the output of commands doveadm user -f home foo and doveadm user -f home bar?

Greetings Christian A look in the dovecot.log: These two lines appeared during the commands:
dovecot: auth: Error: static(foo): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence dovecot: auth: Error: static(bar): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence
Which passdb is ment?
Greetings Christian
Hello,
some config-trys later:
I have to set allow_all_users=yes in the userdb with driver=static:
|userdb { args = home=/var/mail/%u uid=Debian-exim gid=Debian-exim|||allow_all_users=yes| driver = static }|
Have a good time Christian
