[Dovecot] Settings: Dovecot + NTLM + Single Sing On + Windows + Outlook or Thunderbird.

[Maria Jose Yañez Dacosta]

Sorry for the bad drafting, writing is the clearest :).

I want to install dovecot on a linux server (centos 6) so that users
accessing from windows do not have to enter the password (single sign on).

I am following this explanation
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm

There are steps that fail settings in version 2.1.16.


1)
mechanisms = plain ntlm login

2)

userdb static {
   args= uid=501 gid=501 home=/home/vmail/%1Ln/%Ln
   mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%1Ln/%Ln:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%1Ln/%Ln
   allow_all_users=yes
}

Not recognize them.

Honestly, I have no experience configuring dovecot and would need some help.
Segurmante this forgetting me some things and not others take them
correctly.
Another question I have is if I have to set something in particular in PAM.

I show what I have now (doveconf-n):

       # 2.1.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
       # OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4
(Final)

auth_use_winbind = yes
 namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
}

mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
}

mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
}

mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
}

mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
}

passdb {
  driver = pam
}

protocols = imap pop3
ssl = no

userdb {
  args = uid=10000 gid=10000 home=/mail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
  driver = static
}

As I discuss, I is working and if I look at the log (In / var / log /
maillog) When I do telnet localhost imap shows me this:

May 31 15:45:55 prueba-mail dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.16 starting up
(core dumps disabled)
May 31 15:46:04 prueba-mail dovecot: auth: Fatal: Support not compiled in
for passdb driver 'pam'
May 31 15:46:04 prueba-mail dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command
startup failed, throttling for 2 secs
May 31 15:46:04 prueba-mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process
broken (disconnected before greeting, waited 0 secs):  user=<>, rip=::1,
lip=::1, secured, session=<jabyBgjevAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>

Thank you very much for any help!
