Public bug reported:
My dovecot users log in as user@domain, with the ldap directory set up
with a couple of different OUs, with one OU per domain. the users in
the OUs overlap. if I set
luke@schierer@littera001:/etc/dovecot$ sudo grep -v ^# dovecot-
ldap.conf.ext | uniq
hosts = censor001.plerumque.thecrazyguys.net
tls = yes
tls_ca_cert_dir = /etc/ssl/certs
tls_require_cert = allow
debug_level = 4
auth_bind = yes
base = ou=%d,dc=thecrazyguys,dc=net
scope = subtree
user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n))
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n))
blocking = no
luke@schierer@littera001:/etc/dovecot$
then I get a search base of
ou=,dc=thecrazyguys,dc=net which is invalid
I was experimenting, and I tried
base = dc=%d,dc=thecrazyguys,dc=net
which produces a search base of
dc=domain,dc=thecrazyguys,dc=net
which would be correct, except that my ldap tree is set up with OUs and not an
extra DC component.
for whatever reason, it will do variable substitution for dc=%d, but not
for ou=%d. this is certainly not documented, and seems like wrong
behavior, since having an ou in a search base is valid.
