[Dovecot] difference between client_limit and process_limit
by Angel L. Mateo 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

Hi, What is the real difference between client and process limit? According to documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#Service_limits) client_limit: Maximum number of simultaneous client connections. If set to 0, default_client_limit is used instead. process_limit: Maximum number of processes that can exist for this service. If set to 0, default_process_limit is used instead. But what does "client connection" exactly means? Is a user (login)? Is a user opens a few TCP connections (as many clients do) are they count as different connections? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] disable_plaintext_auth = no as no effect on IMAP/POP3 logins
by Mikkel 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

Hello In my installation the disable_plaintext_auth does not appear to take effect. I can see that the value is correct using doveconf -a but it doesn't change anything. Whenever attempting to log in using IMAP I get this: * BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication not allowed without SSL/TLS, but your client did it anyway. If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. ls NO [PRIVACYREQUIRED] Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. POP3 login attempts give this error: -ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections Besides adding disable_plaintext_auth=no to dovecot.conf I also tried adding it specifically to the imap section. I also tried to invoke it just for certain networks, like this: remote 0.0.0.0 { disable_plaintext_auth = no } But none of this takes any effect either. Adding the testing network as trusted networks is working fine removing the error. But I would rather not add the whole internet to the trusted network section just to allow plain text logins in imap. I'm in the process of migrating form 1.1 to 2.1 so this configuration is for testing things out and is mainly based on the default configuration files comming with the centos installation. I should add that everything else in this setup is working fine. I did many searches for information on this topic but nothing I could find apply to my case. I'm sorry to post such a long conf but I'm not sure what parts I could have safely omitted. Here goes: # doveconf -a # 2.1.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.2 (Final) auth_anonymous_username = anonymous auth_cache_negative_ttl = 2

[Dovecot] question about changing certificate
by oni-neko＠gmx.net 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Good day! I'm having trouble changing certificate/keys for my dovecot(version 1.2.9). When I set up the server (unbuntu lts 10.4.4) I did it with a self-signed certificate. I can't remember exactly what I did, just that I followed the wiki and it worked fine =) Now I have to change the certificate because a friend bought an official one (from thawte) and I'm a bit stumped. As dovecot can use supposedly use the same file for both key and cert file, I copied the new certificate to /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem and to /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem. next I get from managesieve-login, pop3-login and imap-login the following log entries: Fatal: Can't load private key file /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem: Key is for a different cert than /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem some googling brought up the file ssl-cert-snakeoil.key in /etc/ssl/private and /etc/ssl/certs that some people change in that context. As I also have a symlink /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key that points to /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key I'm starting to be confused (even more). dovecot is using the dovecot.pem-files, who/what uses the ssl-mail.key? I'm pretty sure I'm just overlooking something completely obvious, but what? =) greetings silvia -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!

[Dovecot] 2.1.7 shared folder index issued
by Alex Crow 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi, Sorry to bother the list again so soon after fixing my own problem, but I now have this issue when clients try to view shared folders in Thunderbird (v12). They can see the shared folder, but the first time they click on in nothing happens. The second time they get an authentication failure. The third or fourth time it finally loads the shared mailbox, and I see this a few times in the logs: Jun 11 19:57:43 alsace dovecot: imap(sharedviewer(a)integrafin.co.uk): Error: mdbox map /home/indexes/integrafin.co.uk/t/sharedviewer/shared/sharedviewee(a)integrafin.co.uk/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: U nexpectedly lost shared/viewee(a)integrafin.co.uk/INBOX uid=73129 map_uid=74192 Jun 11 19:57:43 alsace dovecot: imap(sharedviewer(a)integrafin.co.uk): Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2012-06-11 19:57:43] in=308 out=820 Jun 11 19:57:43 alsace dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1957) Ideally I'd like shared mailboxes to work in the first click - any ideas? Cheers Alex

[Dovecot] gnutls support

Other than license issues, is there an advantage to using gnutls vs openssl? Or is openssl superior - at least in the current implementations? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] auth_krb5_keytab ignored ?
by Leon Meßner 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi list, i noticed that when doing imap gssapi authentication with kerberos, dovecot (here 2.1.7) always searches /etc/krb5.keytab although i have auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/mail3.krb5.keytab in my etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and doveconf -n also show this setting. If i combine the keytabs in krb5.keytab it works. Is there another location where i should put my configuration regarding gssapi/kerberos ? Thanks, Leon logs: 18:48_root@mail3:/root# cat /var/log/dovecot.log | tail -n 8 Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=imap secured session=gexTxPjBZACClTqR lip=130.149.58.164 rip=130.149.58.145 lport=993 rport=31076 Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Debug: gssapi(?,130.149.58.145,<gexTxPjBZACClTqR>): Obtaining credentials for imap(a)mail3.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Debug: client out: CONT 1 Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Info: gssapi(?,130.149.58.145,<gexTxPjBZACClTqR>): While processing incoming data: Miscellaneous failure (see text) Jun 08 18:48:16 auth: Info: gssapi(?,130.149.58.145,<gexTxPjBZACClTqR>): While processing incoming data: Failed to find imap/mail3.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de(a)PCPOOL.PHYSIK.TU-BERLIN.DE(kvno 1) in keytab FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab (des3-cbc-sha1) Jun 08 18:48:18 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 1 Jun 08 18:48:23 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 7 secs): user=<>, method=GSSAPI, rip=130.149.58.145, lip=130.149.58.164, TLS, session=<gexTxPjBZACClTqR> # 2.1.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 amd64 auth_debug = yes auth_gssapi_hostname = mail3.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/mail3.krb5.keytab auth_mechanisms = gssapi plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 120 first_valid_gid = 300 first_valid_uid = 200 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes listen = mail3.physik.tu-berlin.de log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_privileged_group = mail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave mmap_disable = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { location = mbox:~/mail prefix = mail/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = session=yes failure_show_msg=yes max_requests=100 dovecot driver = pam } plugin { quota = fs sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 6 } service managesieve-login { process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 6 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 6 } ssl_cert = </etc/private/mail3.physik.tu-berlin.de.pem ssl_key = </etc/private/physik.tu-berlin.de_privatekey.pem userdb { args = blocking=yes driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log mail_plugins = " sieve quota" }
