dovecot - Mar 2023 - User authentication using local file

I try to configure to have user authenticate to a local file called users, with
their mailboxes in ../../spool/dovecot, not in their home directories. I have
this working correctly with pam authentication on different servers(openSuse and
macOS). This server has no pam authentication so I need to use a local file, but
I can not make any sense of the documentation, can someone please help on which
files I need to change and to which values.
I tried several options but getting all kind of errors with UID.

Please, specify OS environment, Dovecot version, and what options did 
you try.
