New to dovecot admin, question about using LDAP for user-specific values
I am new to dovecot administration. I?ve read the Wiki but that hasn?t given me the understanding I need. When I query my LDAP (on macOS) on a value for user ?gerben?, I can get that: dumbledore:~ gerben$ dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /users/gerben GeneratedUID GeneratedUID: 780D870E-6B00-478E-AB70-3D3307215A82 I would like to use that value in dovecot settings, e.g. something like user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir://Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/%{ldap:GeneratedUID} Is this possible and if so what do I exactly need to do to get this working?

What is wrong with user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir://Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/%{ldap:GeneratedUID} <maildir://Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/%25%7Bldap:GeneratedUID%7D> Did you try it ? Have you got any issue with it ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/attachments/20190913/81788fe2/attachment.html>
