hi all,
first things first my version and config -
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = imap pop3
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}
}
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
-
i have installed dovecot+?postfix email server and a
LDAP server, if i create users on the LDAP server can dovecot pick up
the usernames and create a mailbox for the individual users
as atm
if i want to create an email address for users i add the user to the
email server and make a directory for the users mailbox and have to
chmod and chown
also just another question, can i set up mail groups on dovecot?
cheers
rob

Then configure uris, dn, dnpass, [tls*], base, scope, user_attrs, user_filter, iterate_attrs and iterate_filter in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext and uncomment the include line in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/Userdb Good luck Daniel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

That's great thanks, One thing tho I did a "ls /etc/dovecot" and I don't see a dovecot-ldap.conf Do I need to create that file or install it via yum?
