Re[2]: Passing information from passdb to userdb

[Qmail]

I found a working solution, replying here to confirm it's the proper way of 
doing it and in case others might need the same
setting the value in passdb:
auth_request_set_field(request, "authlocation", dec2str(9),NULL);
reading the value in userdb:
auth_fields_find(auth_request->extra_fields, "authlocation")

and it will be available in userdb.

I'm very novice when it comes to Dovecot programming so any help is appreciated.

Re[2]: Passing information from passdb to userdb

Thanks. If I do that in my passdb-test.c file, it core dumps. I did something 
simple like:
auth_request_set_userdb_field(auth_request, "customFlag", dec2str(50));
However, auth_request_set_field() used like this: 
auth_request_set_field(auth_request, "customFlag", dec2str(50), NULL); doesn't 
core dump.
What's the difference between both functions and finally, how do I retrieve 
values from auth_request ?

Thank you
