similar to: Need help on checkpassword userdb/passdb

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?

I had been using the CheckPassword authentication interface with dovecot 2.2.15, https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword, and it was working. After upgrading to 2.2.33.2 CheckPassword no longer works. The referenced wiki page says, Checkpassword Interface Read <username> NUL <password> NUL from fd 3. I've checked the information read from fd 3 with 2.2.33.2

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, I'm trying to migrate a large number of users to a new Dovecot cluster. The existing mail system allows a user to authenticate with a bare username if they have connected to the correct local IP on the server. e.g. imap.somedomain.com = 1.1.1.1 imap.anotheromain.com = 2.2.2.2 charlie at somedomain can authnenticate as 'charlie' or 'charlie at somedomain.com' as long as

http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz Would be nice to get some testing before the actual release. I've now finally gone through all the "TODO" mails in this list and my INBOX and fixed pretty much every problem I know of. There are still some mbox bugs, but I can't really get them fixed unless someone figures out how to reproduce them

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 new to the list, but we are a long time user of Dovecot via DirectAdmin control panel. We, like everyone else, are seeing an increase in dictionary attacks of POP/IMAP. We want to block them. I've searched the mailing list and found a few recommended fail2ban, which really won't work for our case. We need to do this over many machines and not one or two. We also like to gather

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

So I am on of the many users with qmail, and using vpopmail auth, I guess chatting with some other guys in the other mailing list we will convert to mysql driver but this is a lot of work for many people. I do understand dropping things out but a valid solutions needs to be proposed. Remo > On Mar 18, 2020, at 06:49, Michael Peddemors <michael at linuxmagic.com> wrote: > >

Hello, Today I needed to compile dovecot 2.1.10 on Debian 4.0, using gcc 4.1.2. When running 'make' getting the following error: -------------------------------------------------- -------- db-checkpassword.c: In function 'sigchld_handler': db-checkpassword.c: 426: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' db-checkpassword.c: 429: error: assignment of read-only member

Hi Mark, Just to let you know that we are running dovecot with AD. (and I guess: *many* people are running that combination) It worked without issues, we are using in dovecot-ldap.conf.ext: > auth_bind = yes this user/passwd filter: > = (&(objectclass=person)(sAMAccountName=%n)(!(userAccountControl=514))) > dn = cn=search_dovecit,cn=users,dc=company,dc=com > dnpass =

Dear dovecot maintainers: I'm using SSL client certificates together with a checkpassword scripts to authenticate our users. My problem is: In the checkpassword script the AUTH_USER environment variable will either contain the username that was configured in the mailclient (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=false) or the username from the certificate (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=true). I

Hi, The subject says it all. For two days i've been trying to get IMAP and IMAPS working and nothing. I'm running CentOS 4.4 with qmail-ldap I just can't login in dovecot. Following my signature is some info. You can find my dovecot.conf at http://www.gamito.org/dovecot.conf I'm about to give up :( Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

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

Hi, I'm trying to use the checkpassword interface to do a password check and if the check succeeds I mount the user home directory (including mail) using the users login password and uid. My password check seems to work, but when I add the home directory mounting things seem to stop. Dovecot never logs the result of the password check and nothing happens until the client gets bored and tries
