Hi all I'm trying to setup a dovecot proxy through and LDAP server.
I'm already using Perdition and it works very well but I would like to setup dovecot proxy for managesieve capabilities (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve?highlight=(sieve)|(proxy)#Proxy) The version of dovecot is 1.1.16 but I can't understand how to setup dovecot correctly. This is my dovecot.conf: protocols = pop3 imap disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_debug_passwords=yes auth_verbose=yes syslog_facility = mail ssl_disable = yes login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 3 auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb static { args = static uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/dev/null } passdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } user = root } And the dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = first second third auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=People,dc=unisa,dc=it ldap_version = 3 deref = never base = uid=%n, ou=people, dc=unisa,dc=it pass_attrs = uid=user, userPassword=password, =proxy=1, mailHost=host, =nologin=1, =nodelay=1 After a telnet on localhost 143 I receive a logout error. In the log I find: Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=9143 rport=52316 resp=AGFzcGFyAFNvZm9yaW50 Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=XXXXXX Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 10541 1 Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 XXXXXX static uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/dev/null Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=10541 Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<XXXXXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: IMAP(XXXXXX): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/dev/null Jun 17 10:14:17 server-proxy dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(XXXXXX): Namespace initialization failed The important elements into the ldap entry of user XXXXXX are: dn: uid= XXXXXX,ou=people,dc=unisa,dc=it uid: XXXXXX userPassword: SomethingToMatch mailHost: 10.10.10.1 Could you guide me to resolve the issue? Thanks a lot Alfonso
