hi, I am trying to set up dovecot with digest-md5 as authentication mechanism and openldap as passdb. My problem is ... that I just can't get it working. PLAIN authentication works as expected, but no luck with digest-md5. An excerpt from the two configuration files: dovecot.conf: --------CUT-------- auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 auth_userdb = ldap

I'd previously had dovecot running on a Debian server but recently migrated to Suse. The nice, simple setup for dovecot on debian is not as easy using the dovecot sources. My lack of experience I'm afraid! I'd like to continue to use dovecot, especially as my current maildir directories are all set up ready to be use again. On suse (sles9) I have users authenticating by LDAP. In

hi, For some of our customers we provide a pop3 access, and after an upgrade to alpha3, it is not working anymore. All of our data is ldap based and everything is working as before for our IMAP customers, but our POP3 users fail. Obviously the pop3 login process does not read the data correctly that comes from ldap. after enabling mail_debug, I saw the following error in our log:

Hello, I am developing a Java application that requires me to read from and write to a samba share. When developing in a windows environment this was not a problem. I mounted the share as "M:/", built a path to a file, checked if the file exists using the Java function file.exists(), and went on my merry way. Now I am developing in a Linux environment(SuSE 10). I mount the samba

hi, I've just upgraded our dovecot installation to the most recent debian package (0.99.20050712) and now I'm running into some weird problems. Virtual (LDAP based) users cannot login anymore, the logfile shows this: -------CUT------- dovecot: Aug 02 12:34:25 Error: Logins with UID 200 (user some.user) not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file) -------CUT------- yet

Hi! I'm wondering how close Dovecot can be said to be to 1.0 "Final". How stable can the alpha branch be said to be? I was browsing around the Dovecot homepage, but I couldn't find any answer to this question. I hope it hasn't been asked (too many times) before. Fredrik Tolf

Hello, Is it possible to use dovecot version 1.0.rc6 to authenticate users against Active Directory on a Windows 2000, without PAM, Kerberos or SAMBA. Thanks,

I am trying to set a up mail server on a ubuntu edgy machine. I followed the howto at http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html . I am able to configure everything except dovecot-ldap authentication :(. After struggling with it for a week I decided to seek help. The current version of dovecot is v1.0 RC21 and the version used for the howto is v0.99.10.9. I installed &

I'm used to putting things in inetd and, 1) should dovecot crash, I'd think it would get restarted if it was invoked from inet's imap-login 2) it would get started well after the boot ...wouldn't that be preferable.

Hello! How can I log dovecots messages into a separate file? Is it possible to set a custom syslog facility name somehow? I can't set the log file in dovecot because dovecot does not automatically rotate the logs like syslog does.. thank you! Dominik

Once again I have updated Timo's auth patch for Postfix 2.2.1 to work with a 2.3 snapshot. It applied cleanly and compiled and is running for me, but is not really tested. This is Timo's code, not mine. All I did was manually edit in the rejects from the old patch. Find it here if you're interested: http://www.nodns4.us/postfix-2.3-20051121-dovecot-auth.patch.gz md5sum:

Hi, we have recently been hit by a couple of brute force password attacks against dovecot. So what I want to do now is to add dovecot to fail2ban in order to block further attacks. However, I don't seem to be able to find out password verifification failures for our LDAP based user data. The only thing I see are loads of lines like these in the logfiles: -------CUT------- dovecot: Nov

I have searched the list and have been unable to find a definitive answer to this problem. I am using Samba 3.0.2xx as a PDC. The server that runs this also happens to be a NIS master (not sure if this complicates matters or not). When a user's password is changed within a windows client that is part of this domain (i.e. using ctrl-alt-del), the password change correctly propagates to the

Hello, I recently installed dovecot on a server running Debian. I only have 10 users, but we probably have 6Gig of email between us. Things were working flawlessly for a couple of weeks, and I'm still getting email, but the last few days we are getting fewer emails that we typically do. So although things seem to be working well, everyone is suspicious something is wrong due to the lack of

I am trying to configure samba on a Sunfire V125 with Solaris 9 using: - openldap-2.3.22 - libiconv-1.9.1 - samba-3.0.23a - krb5-1.6.3 (the previous build used krb5-1.5.1 Kereberos, openldap and libiconv are all installed but the samba build generates an error.

Hello, I've compiled nightly CVS snapshot and set it up to work with MySQL database: [...] auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf } } sql.conf contains next line: connect = host=localhost

Dear All, I have successfully compiled MIT krb5 and samba 3.0.28a under Solaris8. Joining an AD domain works fine and also the commands wbinfo -t, -g and -u list all of the users. getent passwd and getent group are also working. The problem now is that when i run the "group user" command it just stays there and doesn't display any users. This works fine under Linux (SLES9, RHEL4)
