Hi,
I’m working with Dovecot 2.4.1 and the acl plugin.
I'm trying to get per-mailbox shared namespace+acl configured and working
dynamically.
One owner (ow...@example.com) has a real Maildir folder "TEST_SHARE" at the top
level
cd /mail/path/example.com/owner/Maildir
ls -1
cur/
dovecot-acl-list
Drafts/
Junk/
new/
Queue/
Sent/
shared/
TEST_SHARE/ <------------------------
tmp/
Trash/
The goal is to share that TEST_SHARE/ folder with exactly one other user
(u...@example.com), not globally or using the global shared/ namespace.
My current config includes
It looks like in acl config you can hardwire access for a specific mailbox.
Reading the 2.4 docs, using acl global file is deprecated and we're supposed to
use acl config.
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
type = private
prefix =
separator = /
hidden = no
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
mailbox TEST_SHARE {
acl owner {
rights = lrwstipekxa
}
acl user=u...@example.com {
rights = lrwstipekx
}
}
}
namespace shared {
type=shared;
prefix=shared/$domain/$username/
}
mail_plugin {
acl = yes
}
acl_driver = vfile
acl_sharing_map {
dict file {
path = /etc/dovecot/shared.db
}
}
With that config "user" can see and use "owner’s" TEST_SHARE folder in
Thunderbird client.
But if "owner" changes the tree in their view, like creates a subfolder under
TEST_SHARE in TBird, it does not appear for "user".
No dovecot-acl file or acl_sharing_map entry is auto-created for the new
subfolder.
Reading the acl docs, I think that's because these ACLs are only STATIC configs
that are merged with vfile ACLs at runtime?
It looks to me like there's no automatic ACL inheritance from the parent to
child mailboxes.
And the acl.conf ACLs don't seem to cause dovecot-acl files or the
acl_sharing_map db to be created or updated.
I think "IMAP SETACL" would be needed on the client side. Reading
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization I can't figure out if
Thunderbird does that or not.
Can Dovecot server-side be configured to automatically create or update those
shared acls/maps?
I'm looking for any guidance how to do this, either in Thunderbird or Dovecot
2.4.
So that any change to TEST_SHARE by either the owner or the authorized user is
immediately pushed and sync'd between both owner and user.
Dave
