Hi all,
I just configured Dovecot 2.0.14 for "virtual" (i.e. non-system-)
users:
passdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-passdb.ext
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/maildir/%u
}
Works fine so far - thanks for this great piece of software, Timo!!!
Now I'd like to add per-user quotas that will also be stored in the
LDAP directory, and I'm not sure how to put things together.
IMHO quota is the only "userdb information" requested from LDAP, and
I'd like to leave all the other "userdb pieces" as the are. I
changed
the userdb definition to:
userdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext
}
My /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext contains (along other lines):
user_attrs =
uid=vmail,gid=vmail,home=/var/maildir/%u,mailQuota=quota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$
My quota configuration looks like this:
plugin {
quota = maildir:Mailbox-Quota
quota_rule = *:storage=1G
quota_warning = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarn.sh 80 %u
quota_warning2 = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarn.sh 95 %u
}
Using this setup, "doveadm quota get -u username" doesn't reveal
any
quota information (except from the "headings"). Instead, dovecot logs:
doveadm(username): Fatal: GID 0 isn't permitted
When switching back to userdb static, I receive the correct (but also)
static quota information.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much,
Christian Schmidt

Or you could get them working here too, but the syntax is slightly wrong: user_attrs = =uid=vmail, =gid=vmail, .. (With the above settings you're telling Dovecot that LDAP "uid" field will be assigned to Dovecot's "vmail" field, and the "gid" field immediately overrides it, and LDAP "home" field's value is set to Dovecot's "/var/maildir/%u" field.)
