Re: Dovecot auth username mapping

Ahh Peter, good call on this one! So after playing around with the order of authentication in Dovecot, you are correct, the PAM timeout was causing the holdup. I guess since PAM has no way of looking up whether or not a user exists prior to authenticating, this is causing the hiccup, versus

Re: Dovecot auth username mapping

Peter, Yes that is a possibility. I will try disabling PAM (or switching the auth order) and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the suggestion! ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC Ph: 951.319.3240 x201 > On Jul 1, 2015, at 11:34 PM, Peter Chiochetti wrote: > > Am 2015-07-02 um 01:41 schrieb

Re: Dovecot auth username mapping

Re: Dovecot auth username mapping

Re: Dovecot auth username mapping

Thank you for the response Axel. I will look into that. I did attempt to switch the PAM/Kerberos authentication to Dovecot LDAP authentication, but now performance is unbelievably slow. For example, with PAM/Kerberos, a user can log into webmail and have all of their emails/folders showing al

Dovecot auth username mapping

I have an interesting case here … Virtual mailboxes, domain/username/aliases stored in MySQL, authentication done using PAM. PAM authenticates through Kerberos, which are internal realms and not the email domains — for example, my username would be laz@PARAVIS.LOCAL
