Hi, I am using Dovecot 1.1.13 (from a Debian package). I was having
problems using
user_attrs to set 'mail' and 'home'. Initially I tried:
user_attrs =
uid=mail=maildir:/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/Maildir/,uid=home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/
This appeared to set 'home' but not 'mail'. In the debug lot I see:
May 12 15:24:40 alpha dovecot: auth(default): ldap(x...@y,10.4.4.113):
user search: base=ou=users,dc=Y scope=subtree filter=(& (mai...@y)
(|(accountStatus=active) (accountStatus=migrate)) ) fields=uid,uid
May 12 15:24:40 alpha dovecot: auth(default): ldap(x...@y,1.1.1.1):
result: uid(home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/)=/var/mail/virtual/users/uid/
May 12 15:24:40 alpha dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER
30688 x...@y home=/var/mail/virtual/users/uid/
Note that 'home' seems to be set on the last line, but not 'mail'. I was
hoping to see 'mail=/var/mail/virtual/users/uid/Maildir/'. Next I tried:
user_attrs =
=mail=maildir:~/Maildir/,uid=home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/
Now I see:
May 12 15:31:28 alpha dovecot: auth(default): ldap(x...@y,1.1.1.1): user
search: base=ou=users,dc=Y scope=subtree filter=(& (mai...@y)
(|(accountStatus=active) (accountStatus=migrate)) ) fields=uid
May 12 15:31:28 alpha dovecot: auth(default): ldap(x...@y,1.1.1.1):
result: uid(home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/)=/var/mail/virtual/users/uid/
May 12 15:31:28 alpha dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER
30712 x...@y home=/var/mail/virtual/users/uid/ mail=maildir:~/Maildir/
Now both 'home' and 'mail' are set, which is what I want. This means the
following lines are not synonymous:
user_attrs =
uid=mail=maildir:/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/Maildir/,uid=home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/
user_attrs =
=mail=maildir:~/Maildir/,uid=home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/
Either I misunderstand the documentation for user_attrs or there is a
bug. Assuming the former, can somebody please explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ian
