dovecot - Jan 2005 - ldap auth (with user and domain a different places)

Hi,

   I am trying to use dovecot with my virtual-hosting setup. I have
   all users in LDAP like uid=user,dc=domain.tld,o=myorganization for
   the user with the mail-address user at domain.tld. This is also the
   username that user should use for login, but it is nowhere in the
   ldap-db in this form together, just user and domain at their own
   places. Is it possible to authenticate with dovecot against such an
   ldap-directory?

   After reading docs and comments in the config-file, I think no, but
   I am not sure.
   As I read the source, it is not possible just now, but would be, if
   I could use %d in the searchbase.

   Or did I understand something wrong?

   TIA

    If you don't have multiple domains, you could just authenticate the user
using %n. E.g., in dovecot-ldap.conf:

user_filter = (uid=%n)
pass_filter = (uid=%n)

If you do have multiple domains, it's not that more complicated:

user_filter = (&(uid=%n)(dc=%d))
pass_filter = (&(uid=%n)(dc=%d))
