Hi Hadmut,
You can use standard LDAP attributes. It's more than enough.
My configs:
dovecot.conf:
first_valid_uid = 8
last_valid_uid = 8
first_valid_gid = 12
last_valid_gid = 12
auth_username_format = %Lu
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb static {
args = uid=mail gid=mail
}
}
dovecot-ldap.conf:
hosts = localhost
dn = cn=Dovecot,ou=DSA,o=top
dnpass = xxx
ldap_version = 3
base = ou=Users,dc=%d,o=top
scope = onelevel
pass_attrs = userPassword=password
pass_filter = uid=%n
