Re: enable/disable shared namespace in passdb

hello all
i'm currently using passdb to enable and disable various namespaces
conditionally :  for example the following work

namespace/inbox/inbox=no
namespace/legacy_pfso/disabled=no
namespace/legacy_pfso/inbox=no
namespace/local_storage/disabled=no
namespace/comboINBOX_local_pfso/disabled=no
namespace/comboINBOX_local_pfso/inbox=yes

but i can't get things like the following to work

namespace/shared/disabled=yes

--

the shared namespace is configured as shown below

namespace shared {
     type = shared
     list = yes    # children
     disabled = yes
     separator = /
     prefix = shared/%%u/
     location = imapc:~/dovemail/shared/%%u/
}

imapc_host = localhost
imapc_port = 143
imapc_password = superpassword        # either super or a dummy
imapc_master_user = %u

--

it seems the shared namespaces do not have names any more so they can't
be modified dynamically

is there a way to circumvent ?  something i missed ?

i'm running 2.2.22 but i can switch easily to 2.2.9 or any other version
providing master_user or one of the variables that can let me know if a
master login was performed is available in passdb

the reason i'm doing this is so i can prevent long chains/loops from
occuring : then accessed by imapc: , the passdb should disable the
shared namespace so it does not produce (an)other imapc connection(s)

thanks for your help

hi all

bumping on my own...

i've tried to declare the namespace inside the imap protocol and adding 
the following extra protocol and listner

service imap-login-noshares {
        protocol = imapnoshares
        executable = imap-login
        inet_listener imapnoshares {
                address =
                port = 20143
                reuse_port = no
                ssl = no
        }
        $login_process_common_stuff
}

protocol imapnoshares {
	# we need to clone imap stuff here... maybe not everything but at least 
quota and the likes
}

unfortunately it seems that the protocol is still 'imap' : the passdb 
and userdb queries still contain imap as the protocol name, the log 
displays imap(username), and it looks like the shared namespace is active.

the namespace is now declared like this

protocol imap {
        namespace shared {
                type = shared
                list = yes      # children
                #disabled = yes
                separator = /
                prefix = shared/%%u/
                location = imapc:~/dovemail/shared/%%u/
        }
}


any ideas ?

has anybody managed to get acls to work with imapc ?

thanks for your time
