Hi, I followed the docs from the dovecot wiki (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers) and still have some problem: 1. uncommented "!include auth-ldap.conf.ext" in 10-auth.conf 2. htpasswd -b -c -s .... to create user/password for a masteruseruser 3. checked auth-master.conf.ext When I try to test the login, I always get an "invalid credentials" in the logs with

Hello list, i would like to use master user functionality in dovecot v1.2, but i just cant get it to work: Here?s my configuration: # dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5PAE i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap):

I'm trying to grasp the namespace and prefix stuff and looking for a good tutorial page that explains what it is and how to use it. Thanks in advance

Here's what I'd like. Limited master users, where someone can be a master users for some domains but not others. I think I could do what I want with the right kinds of variable passing that doesn't yet exist. Let me see if I can explain clearly. From the example in the wiki: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext

Trying to get the master password to work. What am I doing wrong? Trying this test: /etc/dovecot.masterusers master:{plain}test auth_master_user_separator=* auth default_with_listener { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { # Master users that can log in as anyone args = /etc/dovecot.masterusers master = yes #pass =yes } passdb passwd-file { # Path for

Hope to get some attention about this idea to reduce hacking passwords. Here is a list of about 700,000 IP addresses that are hacking passwords through SMTP AUTH http://ipadmin.junkemailfilter.com/auth-hack.txt This is a list of IP addresses that attempted to authenticate against my fake AUTH advertizing on servers with no authentication.

Hi, I want to build a system where 6 months old mail to be moved to archive server to keep my mailbox clean and fast. Is there any way to achieve the same using any pre-built binary shipped with dovecot ? Thanks and Regards Joy

Hello! I'm sorry, but i don't really understand it the way it is written in the wiki, so i'm trying my luck here =) i followed the wiki for creating a master user (the non-sql-version) and i can login as another user via this master user. my dovecot version is 1.2.9 on an ubuntu server 10.4.3 lts. what i don't get is the acl-setting, so that the master-user can access all the

This is probably easy but how would a set a secret static master password so that if I typed it in for any login it would be happy? I can't use the * separator method in this case because it screws up squirrelmail.

Is it possible to run a bash script for authentication where a 0 exit code indicates success and a non-zero is failure? What I'm trying to do is create a shadow IMAP server that authenticates against a different server. That way my server will use the same passwords as an existing server. So what I would need is for dovecot to pass the username and password to my script, I attempt to log

Hello people! I have huge problems with IO wait becase dovecot configured to use maildir is under OCFS2 1.4. Now i have an question to OCFS2 each disk action is really heavy becaue it has no index. Now i am thinking in what can be done to heltp my system to use less disk. Looking for index and etc in dovecot i found this, this disables the index file on disk and leave it on ram or it

I have searching for the best way to tell if a Dovecot user is idle by finding the last time they have logged in. Right now the best way I can tell is to do something like "touch" a file in the users homedir via a post login exec. This seems like a LOT of overhead, to accomplish such a simple task, especially if your doing a lot of dozens of logins per second. Is there an

Hi all, Ok, just need a quick-n-dirty way to enable a master user for a migration... Reading the docs, I'm not sure what the bare minimum is I need to do this... At: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers The Example config shows: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } passdb {

I have successfully set up the master user on the destination server (2.0.11) and tests have worked. now I'm working on the proxy Before I had the proxy just forward everything to the backend and had the destination server do the authentication. My authentication is done via LDAP but not really sure how to append the master user and password to the users credentials after authentication is

Hello, I want to know if there is an option in Dovecot to send an alert, or run a script when someone is using the master user facility. I can do something myself with fail2ban, but maybe there is an option in Dovecot? Thanks. Andr?. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html &

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ... Sent Drafts Queue Trash Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:

Using brand new dovecot 2.1.5 I still have a problem with the inheritance of acls. Setting: - maildir with private INBOX and public folders. - users maildir directory (/home/mail/user/ahelmcke) contains dovecot-acl file - public folders root directory (/home/mail/Fax) contains dovecot-acl file When creating a subfolder of the public folder the dovecot-acl files gets copied to the subfolders
