Dear All, I'm a new user of Dovecot and I need support with the authentication process. I use Dovecot 2.0.9 and Postfix 2.6.6 on host x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) I need to select the validation method depending on the user. I have users that have to be authenticate with UNIX account, and I have others thats have to be authenticate with Windows AD. For example, some sysadmins and special accounts needs validate with Unix accounts. Other normal users have to authenticate with Windows AD, I have many Windows controllers. Some users authenticate to a specific Windows AD and other users are validated in another one. How I can do this? Thank you very much. Antonio Alberola

Hi,> You can set as many databases as you want. Check this: > > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabasesThis solution is valid if I have only one domain. In case you have more than one domain, you need authenticate in the appropriate LDAP server. Is That correct? I'm going to explain my particular case. I have five Windows domains with some users who belong to those domains. I also have other users who are authenticated with local UNIX accounts. The only thing that I can do (I think) is using a Radius server. But, I'd rather not use it.
