Re: LMTP error, mysterious

2018-08-01 Thread Andras Kemeny
you mean i should define another, "fallback" userdb service if prefetch 
doesn't work for some reason?


is it the problem that it's a chicken and egg scenario and with LMTP 
address verification (from postfix) there is no login beforehand so then 
dovecot needs to consult the userdb once again and having no fallback 
mechanism, it gives up? i can understand that, but then it would need to 
be emphasized in either the prefetch document or the lmtp document on 
the wiki.


i've tried it and now it works, thank you ever so much. (but please make 
a mental note to add this info on the wiki.)


cheers,

(the above is a transcript of a full session i've done over telneting to 
localhost 587 and auth login-ing with valid credentials)


so, i've tested the actual login process, and it works flawlessly, and 
it looks like IMAP is up and running:


Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

this is how i send the test mails:

my concern is these two:

Aug  2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: auth: Error: prefetch(a...@rhyno.tech): 
userdb lookup not possible with only userdb prefetch
Aug  2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: lmtp(a...@rhyno.tech): Error: user 
a...@rhyno.tech: Auth USER lookup failed


10-auth.conf has these settings:

passdb {
  driver = ldap
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
}
userdb {
  driver = prefetch
}

dovecot-ldap.conf.ext has these settings (only the relevant ones)

dn = ***whatever, it works***
dnpass = ***whatever, it works***
auth_bind = no
base = dc=rhyno,dc=tech
pass_attrs = \
  =user=%{ldap:uid}, \
  =password=%{ldap:userPassword}, \
  =userdb_home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \
  =userdb_uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \
  =userdb_gid=%{ldap:gidNumber}
pass_filter = 
(&(objectclass=postfixUser)(mailacceptinggeneralid=%n)(mailacceptinggeneralid=@%d))


so what am i missing? also, this format of setting variables 
(==%{}) is never explained 
on the wiki (or am i just blind?)


thanks in advance,
a
