Hi all
I hope anyone could help me out with my problem regarding the user_id settings. I am running my mail servers just for fun and I am not a professional mail admin. After I am using postfix and dovecot for my mail servers with a mysql backend for the last 2 years I have tried to set up an installation with a ldap backend. I followed the how-to from the Postfix Book and now I have always the following error message: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) This error message occurs whenever I try to connect via a mail client. System emails were delivered the way I expected. So I assume postfix is working fine. The ldap search I use for user authentication is as follows: uris = ldap://myserver.com dn = cn=admin, dc=mydomain, dc=com dnpass = secure tls = no base = ou=mailuser,dc=mydomain,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = pfMailMessageStore=home user_filter = (&(objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u)) pass_attrs = pfClearPassword=password,pfMailMessageStore=userdb_home pass_filter = (&(objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u)) default_pass_scheme = PLAIN user_global_uid = 5000 user_global_gid = 5000 I am using dovecot 2.1.9, postfix 2.8.5 and openldap 2.4.23 I would appreciate any help or tipps. ~ Mit freundlichem Gruß Carsten Laun-De Lellis Dipl.-Ing.
