[Dovecot] Different PROXY for IMAP and POP3 using LDAP-auth

[Ralf Becker]

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to configure dovecot 1.1.1 with different proxy hosts and/or 
ports for different protocols (IMAP, POP3). I'm using LDAP for 
authentication.

I've tried:

1) Variable in "auth default" configuration:

  [dovecot.conf]

   passdb ldap {
     args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf
   }
   userdb ldap {
      args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf
   }

   With results in dovecot not starting with error message:
     Can't open configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-%Ls.conf:
     No such file or directory
   So %Ls was not replaced.



2) Variable in pass_attrs

   [dovecot-ldap.conf]

    pass_attrs = \
         uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,\
	uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,\
         dovecotProxy%Ls=proxy,dovecotHost%Ls=host,dovecotPort%Ls=port

    With results in this LDAP server log entries:
      SRCH attr=uid userPassword homeDirectory uidNumber gidNumber
           dovecotProxy%Ls dovecotHost%Ls dovecotPort%Ls

    So %Ls was not replaced also.


mmmh...

Would it be an option to use multiple "auth" sections?
E.g:
   auth pop3 {
     ...
     passdb ldap {
       args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-pop3.conf
     }
     userdb ldap {
       args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-pop3.conf
     }
     ...
   }

   auth imap {
     ...
     passdb ldap {
       args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-imap.conf
     }
     userdb ldap {
       args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap-imap.conf
     }
     ...
   }

  I'm in doubt because of

Any ideas?
