[Dovecot] Denying authentication
Hello,
I've been running dovecot for over 3 years now and it workswith no problems. I have it setup so that it authenticates users against Active Directory via LDAP and so far no problems.
What I would like to know is if there is any way that Icould deny access for users trying to access email via cellphones or email clients outside the company. I can close everything since there are a few users that need to get emails from outside the company via cell phone of email clients.
I was thinking if there was a way to lets say create a groupin AD named: "remote-email" that will allow connection and authentication from any network, any user not in that group will only be able to authenticate if the source is 192.168.xx.xx/24.
Is this possible?
Maybe not with Dovecot, but maybe someone else has any ideas..?
Thanks

Yeah, but again. There are certain users that will need to access their email from outside our local networks. This would work for half of what I would like to accomplish, the other half: "allow authentication for remote users as long as they belong to certain LDAP group" or something similar is what I am more interested on.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You can try using two userdb with different LDAP queries for each ldap group(see MultipleDatabases wiki page), but i never tried something like this.

You can give any extra field on a per user basis.
