Hi there,
I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via
user_attr.
If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if
"mail" is delivered
before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path.
e.g.:
Mail: [email protected]
UID : test123
sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and sometimes /mail/store/test123
depending
on the order the ldap server replies.
I'm currently using version 1.2.7 of dovecot in testing and 1.1.6 in
production. Both have
the same "bug".
Mails are stored on nfs, indexes are stored local.
This is my dovecot-ldap.conf configuration:
pass_filter =
(|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n)))
pass_attrs =
uid=user,userPassword=password,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln
user_filter =
(|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n)))
user_attrs =
uid=user,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln
The filter needs to be that way, because you need to be able to
authenticate by uid or mailaddress.
And the dovecot -n output:
