...have a pool of server (with round robin, ideally with postfix + sasl + dovecot) that authenticate the users with the actuals servers and then pointing mail.domain.tld to this pool and not to one server. My trouble is how to authenticate users. Can I use: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases to tell Dovecot to authenticate with every MySQL database on the servers "behind"? If yes, is there a better way to do this considering I'm already using some proxy machines (dovecot) for pop3/imap and so I already have a db with domain.tld -> IP of the server? I also have som...

Hi Friends IS IT POSSIBLE IN DOVECOT TO HAVE MULTIPLE AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM FOR A PARTICULAR USER as u provided me in the link http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases>The link is applied to all the users( system + virtual) , which increased my overhead of fetching data can i have the same for a particular user ( local + database ) auth mecahnism Thanks and Regards Parth Monga

...have one password on a laptop, one on a phone, one on a tablet. Revoking access to the device is as easy as dropping single password and it doesn't affect other devices. There are more use cases. Untill that happens (not that great) workaround exists: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases Thanks, -- Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Whoops misfired Unless you want a single service to have multiple passwords, which doesn't seem like a good idea to me, use SQL if statements to separate by service/host.?? http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-July/097140.html

hi everybody. I wonder if such a scenario is possible. if yes would I configure multiple passdb using ldap driver or within one clause set up multiple args? How would this work? many thanks P.

Hi, I have a mail server (postfix/dovecot) running so far with normal local /etc/passwd users for domain example.com. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } Is it possible to add virtual domains/users to my setup without changing example.com to a virtual domain? I can do the postfix part with http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox but

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

Hi folks, According to the wiki,? it's considered a feature of Dovecot and its ability to support multiple authentication sources that "if the password doesn't match in the first database, it checks the next one". ?) http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases I think it's great that Dovecot allows auth sources to be stacked like this, but I am not sold on the idea that the next database ought to be tried when a *password* does not match. Let me elaborate: If the first database has knowledge of a user, then it can (should) be considered authoritati...

...cation (webmail) that utilises a master password pattern for access, as the contain web portal provides the necessary authentication. I have access to users passwords in PLAIN text and looking to utilise the dict lookup mechanism for passwords. Problem #1 https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases - "Currently the fallback works only with the PLAIN authentication mechanism." The above not suggests I can't use DIGEST-MD5 with master password configuration, if using more than one passdb setup. I don't understand why there would be a restriction as the password validation sho...

...o use a single lookup for passdb with some sort of "IF EXISTS IN TABLE 'user' OR TABLE 'alias'" query? Or do I need to have TWO lookups, the main one for 'user' and a fallback one for 'alias' (like talked about here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases)? Cheers! Jake

So some system users have their email forward to Maildir in their /home/user directory (virtual_alias_maps) for their domain . This I have working! And the rest are non-system users, ie virtual users listed in a plain text file and their MailDir will be in /home/vmial/domain.com/user/ The virtual user part is working 100% with postfix and dovecot accepting mail for each virtual alias and

...s appears that your server is configured to make use of system users, for both user authentication and user lookup. That you don?t have a /etc/dovecot/users file just means that the system is the only source for user information. You may find more details at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases. And yes, the warning about doveadm?s -A option thus appears to be relevant in your case. HTH, Axel
