Nope, the format for main.cf parameters requires that
you prefix those parameters with the table name.
This is better solved with the "make" program.
/etc/postfix/ldap/users.proto
stuff...
/etc/postfix/ldap/aliases.proto
stuff...
/etc/postfix/ldap/groups.proto
stuff...
/etc/postfix/ldap/credentials
server_host = ...
bind =
bind_dn =
bind_pw =
version =
..
/etc/postfix/ldap/Makefile:
.SUFFIXES: .proto
.proto:; cat $*.proto credentials >$*.tmp && mv $*.tmp $*
# Note: whitespace after "all:" must be a TAB.
all: users aliases groups
Typing "make" in /etc/postfix/ldap has this result:
$ make
cat users.proto credentials >users.tmp && mv users.tmp users
cat aliases.proto credentials >aliases.tmp && mv aliases.tmp aliases
cat groups.proto credentials >groups.tmp && mv groups.tmp groups
And after changing the users.proto file:
$ make
cat users.proto credentials >users.tmp && mv users.tmp users
That is it updates only files that need updating.
