As Hugo pointed out, if the alias is already part of the same LDAP 
entry the userPassword attribute is located in, you'll have to add some 
OR logic. Otherwise it would involve to read the key (aka user account 
name) from yet another LDAP entry. This is currently not implemented, as 
far as I know.


Maybe, you could use the external authentification via script 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword, e.g. as last passdb.

[Dovecot] Using account alias as login

2009-03-08 Thread Javier Amor García 
Hello,
 I use dovecot with a LDAP backend for user account and aliases. The aliases
are objects of the class couriermailalias.
 Some users would like to use the alias address as POP/IMAP login instead of
the 'true' account.
Is this possible?.
I am using dovecot version 1.0,10, from ubuntu hardy packages.

Thanks for any answer,
  Javier

Hello Javier,

I don't use couriermailalias, but i do use the qmailUser objectclass 
which provides both mail and mailAlternateAddress attributes. As an 
example, i would say that you can use something like


user_filter = 
((objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)))


and

pass_filter = 
((objectClass=qmailUser)((uid=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)))




pass_filter = 
((objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)))



Hope it helps.

Regards,

Hugo Monteiro.




Sorry for the typo,


Hugo Monteiro.
