similar to: passdb pam and args/format

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious :-( Dovecot version 1.1.6, pam authentication via ldap (openldap). basicly, we use: passdb pam userdb passwd which work fine, except for Outlook/OL Express users that are asked for their password whenever they "send/receive"... We've had also "passdb shadow" that somehow "fixed" this but allowed also users with

While using Ubuntu 10.10 + Dovecot 1.2.12 + Postfix 2.7.1-1: To enable virtual accounts, I am using the following /etc/dovecot/auth.d/virtualsomename.auth file: passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u } EOT cat /etc/dovecot/passwd looks like this: test:{PLAIN}pass bill:{PLAIN}secret timo at

Hi Guys, Can anyone help me, I'm having trouble halting caching authentication for the PAM module. I follow this procedure: https://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM I got this error Sep 20 10:05:58 pop3-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=, lip=, session=<QmW2BU52TACsFBTt> Sep 20 10:06:00 auth:

This is actually something I had on my mind to write about in the past few -stable and alpha releases, but did not get to and instead always patched myself. Now having updated to the latest snapshot (which may be released as beta1), I stumbled on it again: In src/auth/passdb-pam.c, where the client host is passed to PAM, the code looks like this: #ifdef PAM_RHOST const char *host =

Hi!, I Install dovecot version 2.1.16 on CentOS 6.4 x86_64. When I try to test the installation (by telnet localhost imap) the following error occurs: "auth: Fatal: Support not compiled in for passdb driver 'pam'". I do not discover what caused this. Here I leave the configuration data and the log. Thanks ------------------------------------ / var / log / maillog

Hey! I'm trying to get a web application I'm developing to authenticate against the samba user database. As far as I can tell, what I have to do is "simply" set up a PAM service that uses pam_smbpass.so, and then use a PAM client library to authenticate against it. For the second part, I found a Python example that authenticates against a given PAM service, and it works fine

Hi, I'm trying to put my samba to authenticate users into a mysql database. I've started to use passdb and I did mapped the main fields and also did some change at pdb_sql.c code to match my needs. Well, the problem is that I can't found a way to use crypt passwords with mysql using pdb_mysql, actually the type of passwords I'm allowed to use are "plain password",

Hi, On my system, I want to provide imap access for some of the users listed in /etc/passwd. The list of users should be provided by me, and should just be a list in a text file. All the userdb options are static (uid, gid, home directory). Unfortunately, I cannot think of a way to configure Dovecot to do this. The closest I get is with: passdb pam {} userdb passwd-file { args =

Greetings, I'm trying to create a configuration that leaves every config file deployed by an install process or paket management software untouched. The goal is to put every configuration required into /etc/dovecot/local.conf. I've come quite far, but I fail to disable pam as passdb service in local.conf. What I get if I run doveconf -n is this section: passdb { driver = pam } It is

Hi there, Other auth modules (eg passwd-file) allow a username_format to be specified, but not the PAM module. The use-case, is where I want a static userdb configuration which takes the domain into account but still want to use PAM for authentication, eg: userdb { driver = static args = uid=8 gid=12 home=/mnt/storage/mail/vhosts/%d/%n } passdb { driver = pam args = username_format=%n

There is Samba4 4.1.8 as StandAlone server role is installed at ubuntu 14.04 LTS from sources. There is samdb_dbds as passdb backend. Provisioning and adding user to Samba4 is successful. But there is no such user exactly at Ubuntu OS users. And I don' t want that there would be such user at OS !! But shares can not be accessed from Win XP/7 clients - user credentials are asked again and again

I wondered for a while if I should do this before v1.0, but since there seem to be problems with some PAM/NSS users and this was way easier to implement than I realized, here it is: passdb pam and userdb passwd now support blocking=yes setting in their args. For PAM the default has been to fork the dovecot-auth process and talk via a pipe to the main dovecot-auth. I've never really liked this
