<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm setting up a Postfic and Dovecot with LDAP email server. My users in LDAP is like this:<br>
<br>
dn: uid=firstname,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com<br>
uid: firstname<br>
uidNumber: 4025<br>
gidNumber: 4025<br>
givenName: firstname<br>
objectClass: top<br>
objectClass: person<br>
objectClass: posixAccount<br>
objectClass: shadowAccount<br>
objectClass: organizationalPerson<br>
objectClass: inetOrgPerson<br>
loginShell: /bin/bash<br>
homeDirectory: /home/firstname<br>
cn: firstname lastname<br>
mail: <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@domain.com">firstname.lastname@domain.com</a><br>
<br>
This is how I connect Dovecot with LDAP<br>
<br>
hosts = ldapserver<br>
ldap_version = 3<br>
base = ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com<br>
deref = never<br>
scope = subtree<br>
user_attrs =<br>
user_filter = (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=%n)<br>
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password<br>
pass_filter = (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=%n))<br>
default_pass_scheme = SSHA<br>
<br>
When I enter a user's email address and password as the following:<br>
email: <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@domain.com">firstname.lastname@domain.com</a><br>
password: password<br>
<br>
and according to my setting which I used "%n" as you see above, the username used to authenticate is "firstname.lastname". I checked the Dovecot variables but I couldn't find something useful in this case to manipulate the "%n" variable.<br>
<br>
I would like to keep using email addresses as <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@domain.com">
"firstname.lastname@domain.com"</a> but authenticate users using their first name. I really hit a wall here and any help will be much appreciated.</p>
