Hello all,
some points regarding vpopmail ldap.
1/ qmailUser.schema
while it is working with openldap 2.2.26, it's not with openldap
2.2.27.
it inherits objects from person objectclass where they are
MUST. qmailUser call them in a MAY but it's not correct.
We can go from may to must but not the oppposite.
The matter is that qmailadmin does not create the sn cn
and so it's not possible to create account with 2.2.27
2/ Round robin DNS
i have put ldap.mydomain.com in vldap.h it returns two ip in
round robin. it works, but if i shutdown the one used, vchkpw
does not fail over to the other one.
it should go to the other one after the dns ttl expires. does
someone already done it with success ?
how to clear the dns cache entry used by vpopmail ?
The DNS is cached by whatever local resolver you are using.This may be
dnscache, or bind. For dnscache, just restart it to clear it's cache,
and for bind, you will need to read the man page.
Besides the point, round robin DNS is not a really good fail-safe way
to do backup hosts. I'd suggest at looking at CARP. For a small fix,
set the timeout on DNS to 10 seconds, and the local resolver will fetch
new records every ten seconds, so it is a max of 10 seconds that
vpopmail should keep one IP. Full disclosure: I am assuming the code in
vpopmail will randomly pick an IP address or, at least try them one at
a time if one of them fails. I have not checked this. Nor do i run a
vpopmail system with LDAP.
thank you in advance,
