Hi Timo, ok, I have a large 2.07 NFS setup, and I have been monitoring error messages to make sure I catch things, and I've come across a lot of messages that come in pairs and look like this : Dec 01 17:48:35 lda(paul at xxxxxx.com): Error: write(/home/mailboxes/data/301/paul at xxxxxx.com/Maildir/tmp/1291254514.M620308P83269.mta2.scaledsystems.com) failed: Permission denied Dec 01

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

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?

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

hello some times ago I posted some patches to workaround vmailmgr not fitting into dovecot's passdb-checkpassword authentication module. Yesterday I spent some spare time for carrying out a cleaner solution for this problem. Check out these patches. If you're not interested in merging them, I will make them available at the same page I used for the former solution [

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:

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

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. 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

Hi, I'm trying to do a setup where IMAP and POP users see different INBOX' Like described on the virtual folder wiki page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual However, for now, I'm stuck with the checkpassword passdb and prefetch userdb So I can't parameterize the result on %s like the example with MySQL does.

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 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
