I've been returning a table with auth_userdb_lookup just fine. But when I try using it with passdb (and despite being very very sure that a 'password' key exists in the table I'm returning from auth_passdb_lookup() -- I'm logging it one line above the return), the passdb auth fails with this log entry:
Dec 21 23:29:22 auth-worker(7779): Info: lua(te...@test.com,10.20.103.32,<dSvLQuZg+uIKFGcg>): No password returned (and no nopassword) I guess it's not seeing the password key in the table I'm returning. If I return a concat'd string ("password=... user=...") from auth_passdb_lookup(), it works just fine. I was also curious if there's a way to pass info between auth_userdb_lookup and auth_passdb_lookup. I was trying to use a table with auth_passdb_lookup() so I could take advantage of prefetch and thought that if auth_passdb_lookup didn't take a table, I could stash data away and then un-stash it in auth_userdb_lookup Thanks! > 3) response_from_template expands a key=value string into table by var > expanding values. > > > var_expand can be used to interpolation for any purposes. it returns a > string. see https://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for details on how to use > it. > > > Individual variable access is more efficient to do directly. > > > --- > Aki Tuomi >
