hi, i would like to have all the emails stored under one system user and
system group. i keep user passwords in LDAP. for userdb i wanted to use
static. but i keep getting this error:
Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 909:
Unknown setting: userdb
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
i am using version 1.0.13 my /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf without
comments is:
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imaps imap
listen = *
disable_plaintext_auth = no
shutdown_clients = yes
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/apache2/ssl/server.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
mail_location = maildir:/home/MAIL/%n
mail_privileged_group = mail
protocol imap {
login_greeting_capability = yes
imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster at frontlinedefenders.org
hostname = base
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb static {
args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/home/MAIL/%n
}
auth_userdb user = mail
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0600
user = mail # User running Dovecot LDA
group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group
}
}
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
what do i do wrong?
best regards, Wojtek
