dovecot MasterUser

[quickfox]

Hi guys,

Trying to follow this: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers

To let me set up a master user so that I can migrate all mail away from ISPConfig for one domain.

I made a new boolean field on the mail_user table called "master_user". I set this to '1' for all desired users.

Here is a snippet from my dovecot.conf & then the 2 sql queries I am using.

auth_master_user_separator=*                                                                                                                                                    
auth default {

Here is my dovecot-sql-master.conf (without the mysql detail)

password_query = SELECT login as user, 'masterPassword' as password FROM mail_user WHERE login = '%u' AND master_user = true
user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT('maildir:', maildir, '/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

Here is my dovecot-sql.conf

default_pass_scheme = CRYPT                                                                                                                                                     

password_query = SELECT password FROM mail_user WHERE login = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'
user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT('maildir:', maildir, '/Maildir') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE email = '%u' AND disable%Ls = 'n'

I still can't auth via telnet when I try the following:

1 login user@mydomain.com*master@mydomain.com masterPassword

Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly?

After posting this, I see one problem - which is ofc my sql-master password query is returning, user & password.

I've updated this....testing.

[quickfox]

Here's my updated dovecot-sql-master.conf:

password_query = SELECT 'masterPassword' as password FROM mail_user WHERE login = '%u' AND master_user = true

Although this still doesn't work.

I can auth just fine as a user I know the password for:

1 login username@mydomain.com passWord

ISPConfig uses standard maildir format like most other Linux mail servers, so you can just copy over the maildirs to your new server without the need of a master user.

Hi till,

Sorry - been away for a few days. Thanks for the reply!

We are moving to a non maildir setup though - so it would be great to use imapsync.

Can you offer any tips here?

Thx,

quick

Have you considered to set the same password for all users of that domain temporarily in the ispconfig mysql database for the migration?
