Dovecot version : 2.3.x - using RedHat build
Years ago I had a Dovecot install that was setup to perform
certificate based authentication for clients that worked well - part
of that setup was creating a passdb that pointed to a flat file that
contained entries like this:
cool.joe.c:{PLAIN}::::::username=cooljc
and the passdb definition looked like this:
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=plain /etc/dovecot/users.external
skip = authenticated
mechanisms = EXTERNAL
default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail nopassword=1
}
That worked and we had a cron job that would build that users.external
file and keep it up to date.
Now, a few years down the road, I've setup a new Dovecot server that
is working wonderfully but I'd like to add the same functionality but
also use a direct LDAP query instead of managing a flat file to
maintain the list of users.
I have another passdb entry that is using LDAP that works great for
username/password auth, but I'd like to test what I think is a proper
LDAP configuration specific for this passdb,
But for the life of me I can't find out how to test the configuration
file without having to actually update my dovecot configuration to use
it. I'm looking for something like the Postfix 'postmap' tool that I
can provide my configuration file for the LDAP lookup, give a username
input to and it will show me the results from the configuration,
including the return values.
Is there such a tool ? Or do I have to setup a test server, add it to
the config, and debug it ?
Sorry if this is FAQ or dumb question - I've been reading
documentation on the official Dovecot site looking for the answer but
I'm either missing it or I'm reading the wrong docs.
