similar to: dovecot checkpassword passdb and vmailmgr

Hello folks, Time ago I worked on a patch for dovecot to work with vmailmgr http://mij.oltrelinux.com/net/dovecot-qmail-vmailmgr/ The patch was required because, despite vmailmgr complies with the checkpassword interface supported by dovecot, dovecot snips the mailbox directory returned by the authentication module at colon characters ':'. Incidentally, vmailmgr maps any

hello now that dovecot supports authentication with checkpassword-compatible modules, I tried to get it working for IMAP on a qmail + vmailmgr server. For a subtle detail, while claiming to be "a drop-in replacement for the standard checkpassword", checkvpw (auth module for vmailmgr) is not "drop in". It actually expects 2 args on its command line, not 1. So, a wrapper

hola guys Is a module for vmailmgr userdb being under work by someone? If not, i'd like to help out. Is there a standard API to implement or such? Is there some further documentation to avoid a full inspection of the sources? thank you

hi, does dovecot supports vmailmgr authentication? any recomended reading? and, in a vmailmgr context, what are the benefits of dovecot over courier-imap or bincimap? Best regards, Alejandro Mery

Hi. I'm trying to use checkpassword for simple auth and masteruser auth. I have two programs, one called checkpassword-master (for masteruser lookup) and another called checkpassword for normal passdb and userdb lookup). All works fine for non-masteruser authentication (in this case dovecot makes a single call to checkpassword binary). But if a master-user authenticates, dovecot execute

Hi, ok, I'm am developing a new solution that includes dovecot, and will be wanting to use the latest sieve implementation, so I have chosen to start with 1.2 as the base. I had a working install of 1.1.8 installed, and got a checkpassword setup working properly with it to authenticate a user. I used the passdb to call checkpassword, and the prefetch userdb to tell it to use the values that

Hi, does anyone already use the checkpassword authentication scheme? I have not found any description how I have to configure dovecot in order to work together with qmail?s checkpassword. Enabling ?passdb = checkpassword /bin/checkpassword? in dovecot.conf starts /bin/checkpassword for every authentication request, but the result does not seem to matter for the authentication. Without enabling

Not to be grumpy, but I've posted a dozen or more message to this list in the past week about what I think might be relatively common/easy issues and have had zero response except from Rick Romero who is trying, but hasn't actually done what I need himself. I'm sure someone has. Perhaps these problem are too mundane compared to CalDAV, sieve filtering and IPA to excite List interest?

Hello, I've run into the issue detailed at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword#Security Understandably I don't have the skills to modify checkpassword so if I do the suggested will it work? If you can't change the script, you can make Dovecot's checkpassword-reply binary setuid or setgid (e.g. chgrp dovecot /usr/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply; chmod g+s

Hi, im a newbee using dovecot. I want to use checkpassword, but i've no idea how to use it. DoveCot is running and checking the passwords with a ldap server. But in future we want to use a sql database, where the password and userinformation is stored. I want to use checkpassword, to authetificate the users with the passwords. But ive no idea how a script for checkpassword can be. What

Hello I posted an earlier post on problems with getting usernames. That one is solved, thank you. I'm currently having trouble executing checkpassword-reply. The maillog shows the following error: (substituting rip/lip/user/domain) May 27 07:21:06 saw dovecot: Logins with UID 0 not permitted (user user at domain.com> May 27 07:21:06 saw dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure:

Dear dovecot experts: We are using client certificates to authenthicate against a Dovecot server. Our certificates contain a x500UniqueIdentifier. I'm absolutely sure that the value of the x500UniqueIdentifier was stored into the AUTH_USER when I tested my setup last year. This has somehow changed and now AUTH_USER always contains the username. This has fatal consequences as now every owner

Hi all, I think I may be doing something wrong but, is it possible to proxy POP and IMAP users when using a checkpassword script as the passdb? I'm trying to write a perl script to handle authentication to a mix of SQL and POP3 sources whilst logging user passwords at the same time for a migration. At the moment, I'm trying to set environment variables to tell dovecot what to do:

Hi. If checkpassword interface is used for working with vpopmail, function vpopmail "Record time and ip of last auth attempt" (--enable-auth-logging option for configure) won't work - the file "lastauth" is created in Maildir, but does not contain ip-address. If I had correctly understood, dovecot woldn't have set a enviroment variable TCPREMOTEIP for vchkpw. If

Hi. I am trying to authenticate dovecot from a wordpress database. I was thinking of using the checkpassword script to start a cli php script. That php script would then include the necessary wordpress functions, do the auth (find the wp username from user database using the email address, and authenticate with the user/pass), and return the result to the checkpassword script. I made the above
