As announced in MID <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I wrote[0] a new userdb back end, which uses a checkpassword like program to retrieve user data.
This is needed to get computed user data without authentication for the LDA or the yet to be implemented %%h variable in shared user folder name spaces... The back end needs a special checkpassword program which follows the qmail semantics but additionally provides the user data without password verification when the environment variable AUTHORIZED is set.[1] I have done some code cleanup (mainly factoring out common code of the passdb and userdb back ends) and you can found the current version, alongside with our acl-plugin enhancements, here: http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-1.2_kolab-branch/ Timo, what would be needed to get the new back end upstream? cheers sascha [0] Well mostly copy and paste from the existing passdb-checkpassword... [1] The variable name needs some evaluation: it seems, that courier knows an environment variable AUTHENTICATED, which might be a good choice for us, too -- on the other hand it might be totally wrong. ;-) -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
