dovecot - Mar 2009 - Informations in LDAP and Database

Hi everybody,

I'm installing an application using LDAP and I want dovecot to use LDAP
too. The problem is that they don't use the same schema (especially
because we want per-user quotas).
I think the best solution is to have the authentication by LDAP and others
datas (like quotas) in a database.

Is it possible with dovecot ? and How ?

Thanks
Etienne

Dovecot can use any LDAP schema you want, as long as it contains the
information you need.

Yes. Use passdb ldap and userdb sql.
