similar to: Specifying passwd-file with virtual domains?

Yes and No. It's confusing to me which is why I ask. Per my initial email my password source is PAM. It's the userdb I'm concerned about ... which dovecot is using /etc/passwd. So dovecot is getting user information from passwd file; password information from PAM. I need to add extra fields for qouta but can't add them to /etc/passwd so I have to create a passwd with the extra

Hello, I have a question regarding the password field of the passwd-file [1]. According to the wiki, the password field assumes a {SCHEME} of CRYPT when the {SCHEME} is not prefixed to this field. So, a passwd-file like: user:password: . . . ? is equivalent to: user:{CRYPT}password: . . . Does that mean an example passwd-file with NEITHER {SCHEME} or password, like: user at

Instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration say the next thing to test after getting IMAP and Telnet working is to create a dummy user file with the following command: echo "$USER:{PLAIN}password:$UID:$GID::$HOME" > users And place it in /etc/dovecot and protect it appropriately. It was also edited to change the plain-text password from `password' to what it

Hello I am attempting to use an external IMAP server for authentication, on Dovecot 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a), running on Ubuntu 22.04. The external server requires usernames of the format: user at domain However, my local users, where the mail is actually drawn from, are of the format: user (passwd file driven). I was able to log in with just "user", and have it both authenticate

Hi, I am trying to use separate configurations for ldap authentication thus providing users with the ability to only use username without domain part. Now according to documentation this should be possible http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile but I keep getting error in my dovecot.log like this auth: Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/%l/dovecot-ldap.conf: No such

I forgot the answer for this: in http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile, we have the passwd file defined as user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields What should the uid and gid be associated with? In my setup I told postfix to use Dovecot LDA's deliver, which then is saving files as uid:gid of 1500:1500. How would that affect the uid:gid used in the passwd file?

I need to implement quota. I read as much as I could including http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall But my current /etc/passwd file does not have the password in it as shown in dovecot docs ... there is an x where the password should be. I created a program that creates a passwd file in the proper format with the proper extra quota fields for all users (except it has an x where
