Is it possible to setup ntlm authentication then proxy it to the mail server ?
Hi,
This is my dovecot version:
root@freebsdsvr:~ # dovecot --version
2.3.21 (47349e2482)
I'm having trouble in making dovecot as proxy to the mail server when using ntlm authentication. My setup looks like this: email client ------> dovecot (will act as proxy) -------> mail server so basically the email client will connect to dovecot but dovecot will forward it to the mail server.
Proxying using auth_mechanism as PLAIN is working but if I use ntlm authentication it just connects into the dovecot server and dovecot server does not proxy to to the mail server.
I tried using passdb driver = sql, passdb driver = static, passdb driver = lua and all of them are working when the email client connects using plain auth, once dovecot authenticates the user it will proxy it to the mail server but when I use ntlm authentication it just connects to dovecot and does not do a proxy to the mail server.
I switched on all the debugs and I found out in the log that when I connect using PLAIN auth it calls the passdb and gets my default_fields or my proxy fields proxy=y and host=mailserver_domain which causes dovecot to proxy into the host(my mail server). but when I connect using NTLM auth it calls the passdb but it does not return my default fields for proxying (when it uses the sql passdb driver it just connects to the database and does not run the password_query) and I think it uses the output from the ntlm_auth of samba that dovecot uses because it retunrs the field user=username and original_user=username@domain
This is the example logs that I recieved once I connect using ntlm and it does not proxy it to my mail server

Is there a right way to configure ntlm to do proxy? because it does not seem to use the passdb in sql,lua, and static drivers.

Yes, you would need to use the dovecot submission server for this:
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/submission_server/
Most people, however, use their MTA's submission server but use dovecot for the authentication backend:

You seem to be confusing IMAP with submission. The IMAP protocol is good for fetching mail and as a general interface to the mail storage (or mailbox). IMAP is not used for submitting new mail (except usually for storing a copy in the user's "Sent" folder).
Mail submission is done via the "submission" or (the implicit TLS version) "submissions" protocols. This is usually a function of your MTA (e.g. Postfix, exim, Sendmail, etc but generally not Dovecot). So any attempt to submit mail to the IMAP port is flawed.
All that said, Dovecot does come with a submission server that can "proxy" mail through to the submission service on your MTA. This can be used in the way you describe (but again it's not IMAP):
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/submission_server/
Most people, however, use their MTA's submission server but use dovecot for the authentication backend. This means that just the authentication credentials are passed through from your MTA to Dovecot and Dovecot answers with a yes/no to the MTA on whether it should allow the submission to proceed. In this case Dovecot is still doing the authentication but no proxy is needed for the actual submission:
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/simple_virtual_install/#s...
The latter solution is my recommendation unless you have a specific need for using the Dovecot submission server (e.g. BURL support).

hope dovecot is handle deprication better :)
Maybe use Wireshark to get an independent check on what the logs are saying?

If you can do NTLM, you can do GSSAPI too. Which even Microsoft recommends. So
I would very strongly suggest using that.

retunrs the field user=username and
original_user=username@domain

Here's the logs that I get when I connect via Plain Auth
and it does the proxy to my mail server

Is there a right way to configure ntlm to do proxy? because
it does not seem to use the passdb in sql,lua, and static
drivers.

Hi Aki
We would like NTLM support so customers that have enabled it in outlook and other email clients can continue to authenticate when we update our dovecot server. We are not running kerberos/samba/active directory or any other directory system. I am not sure how GSSAPI would assist us with this requirement.
Given that we are using an sql passdb, will this work and if so any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks For the behaviour youre seeing, it does sound like a bug, but NTLM support is not been in since 2.3.14 anymore because Microsoft recommends not implementing it anymore and the implementation was unsafe.
