Hello everyone,
I successfully set up the mail_crypt plugin using folder keys, and
require user's key to be encrypted with a password using
mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes.
As I'm trying to streamline the process of creating a user, and want to
develop an application in PHP to help me in that process, I'm very
interested in the doveadm HTTP API. Although the mail_crypt plugin is
not referenced in the API, I discovered that it could be accessed all
the same, provided some camelCase changes. So far I've been able to
generate the following json for the mailbox cryptokey generate command:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: X-Dovecot-API <base64-api-token>" -H
"Content-Type: application/json" -d
'[["mailboxCryptokeyGenerate",{"user":"<username>","userKeyOnly":true},"tag1"]]'
http://localhost:8081/doveadm/v1
which is able to give me the same output as the related command:
doveadm mailbox cryptokey generate -u <username> -U.
This only works if a keypair has already been generated for the user,
which is kind of counter-productive in my use case. I would like to know
if there was a way to adapt the following command into a json API call :
doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=<password> mailbox
cryptokey generate -u <username> -U
Especially the -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=<password> part,
since it seems I've figured out the other part partly tinkering partly
looking through the source code.
Thanks everyone for your input.
