ispconfig email login with user@domain How to

Yes, thath's all right

I had an error in the script: now I write /etc/courier/userdb at the end of the line and it create finally the file (I have ubuntu 6.06 like you so the file is in the same place) but I've not the file userdb.db...

Now the new problem: the test return "Authentication Failed!"

Why?

Thx for all!

 

Look in /etc/courier/ for userdb.db, It should be in there.

Either way, check the final part of your script. It must have the make command to make the userdb.db file from userdb.

Code:

/usr/lib/courier/makeuserdb

Also, if you can't get that part working in your script, you can run makeuserdb from the commandline, to be sure you can create that userdb.db

 

I have only userdb userdb.dat userdb.lock

Into the makeuserdb there is no line for creating userdb.db but only this 3 files.

Why?

 

Hi All,

I have ubuntu 7.04 perfect install + ISPConfig 2.2.13.

I would like to apply this patch. Will it work?

Is there anybody that can take me through it step by step?? I am very new to linux. I see there is code in the post but i don't know what to do with this code....

Please help!!!!!

 

In the case of multiples domain as to configure the DOMAIN in the ISPConfig?

 

Running this script now, It doesn't put any data to /etc/courier/userdb. No details in this file, means i have to access mail via domain_user.

Please help again

Hello,

I have a "perfect setup" with Centos 4.5 and the latest stable ISPConfig.

I have upgraded my dovecot to 1.0x so as to be able to use

auth_username_format = %Ld_%Ln

I have also set the [DOMAIN]_ in ISPConfig settings. However when I try to login from Uebimiau, I get the following error:

Sep 25 22:15:48 nemesis dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<_domain.gr_info>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured

(assume that the username I enter in the webmail is [email protected]).

I suppose that the problem is the leading _, however I don't know how it appears there...

Any help?

P.S. If I comment out the auth_username_format line, everything works fine.

 

Hi!

I think i've managed to get the script for converting the users working. So my userdb file contains this row:

[email protected] uid=10015|gid=10005|home=/var/www/web5/user/server.com_test|shell=/bin/false|systempw=gdfGefd4YUcGFg|/var/www/www.server.com/user/server.com_test/Maildir

But courierauthtest [email protected] password brings:
Trying authdaemon...
Authentication FAILED!

Any ideas?
Thx,
acker

 

Hello,

I can't get the patch to work
I think the problem is in the converter-script that creates the userdb for courier.

I little modified the script to get debug messages:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
delim="_"

OIFS=$IFS
IFS="
"
rm -rf /etc/courier/userdb
touch /etc/courier/userdb
chmod 600 /etc/courier/userdb
for line in `pw2userdb | grep -ir user`
do
	clear
	echo $line

	domain=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f1 )
	
	useruid=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f2 )
	
	username=$( echo $useruid | cut -d'	' -f1 )
	
	uid=$( echo $useruid | cut -d'	' -f2 )
	gid=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f3 )
	home=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f4 )
	shell=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f6 )
	password=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f7)
	
	#echo "$username@$domain $uid|$gid|${home}_$username|$shell|$password| /var/www/www.$domain/user/${domain}_$username/Maildir" >> /etc/courier/userdb
	
	echo "
	useruid: $useruid|
	
	domain: $domain 
	username: $username
	login: $username@$domain
	
	uid: $uid|
	gid: $gid|
	home: $home
	homedir: ${home}_$username|
	shell: $shell| 
	pass: $password|
	maildir /var/www/www.$domain/user/${domain}_$username/Maildir"
	#/usr/sbin/makeuserdb
done

IFS=$OIFS

And if I run the script with this single return of pw2userdb ...

XXX.org_mar uid=10018|gid=10002|home=/var/www/web2/user/XXX.org_mar|shell=/bin/false|systempw=^iaesnI7fcz/.|gecos=mar

... I got this output.

Code:

XXX.org_mar      uid=10018|gid=10002|home=/var/www/web2/user/XXX.org_mar|shell=/bin/false|systempw=^iaesnI7fcz/.|gecos=mar


        useruid: mar uid=10018|gid=10002|home=/var/www/web2/user/XX.org|

        domain: XX.org 
        username: mar
        login: [email protected]

        uid: uid=10018|gid=10002|home=/var/www/web2/user/XX.org|
        gid: mar|shell=/bin/false|systempw=^iaesnI7fcz/.|gecos=mar|
        home: 
        homedir: _mar|
        shell: | 
        pass: |
        maildir /var/www/www.XX.org/user/XX.org_mar/Maildir

Anybody an idea whats going wrong?
Courier-Auth is opening the userdb, but can't find a valid login. I think the email-account was written down by wrong-syntax.

I'am using ISPConfig 2.2.17 with Debian 4.0

greetings!

hi till,
I am now using dovecot and its working very well

but now there's another problem. The isp's email-username is limited to n-characters so I get in trouble while using 'large-email-adresses'

in another post, grant is telling about a solution how to fix this by patching the couriers-user-workflow mentioned by desmondk in first post here.

perhaps you know a working solution for dovecot? Would like to use it furthermore cause there's a webmin module available

greetings,
m.

 

Ah poop. lol.

I just just saw. And ive already done the SMTP instructions posted in the other post.

THe SMTP works trying to login from email clients but the pop doest becuase i havent done this step.

Does anyone know what the = is in saslauthd/dovecot.

 

How do users login once they are set to administrators and the prefix is "[DOMAIN]_"
I haven't been able to get users to login.

 

The for Ubuntu 8.04LTS und Ubuntu 10.04LTS modified Skript for "userdb"-Creation is:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7881&highlight=mailuser

delim="_"

OIFS=$IFS
IFS="
"

rm -rf /etc/courier/userdb
touch /etc/courier/userdb
chmod 600 /etc/courier/userdb

for line in `/usr/sbin/pw2userdb | grep -ir home=/var/www/web`
 do
   full=$( echo $line )
   domain=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f1 )
   remain=$( echo $line | cut -d"$delim" -f2,3,4 )
   username=$(echo $remain | cut -d "   " -f1 ) # tab inside
   remain2=$(echo $remain | cut -d "    " -f2 ) # tab inside
   uid=$( echo $remain2 | cut -d '|' -f1 )
   gid=$( echo $remain2 | cut -d '|' -f2 )
   home=$( echo $remain2 | cut -d '|' -f3 )
   shell=$( echo $remain2 | cut -d '|' -f4 )
   password=$( echo $remain2 | cut -d '|' -f5)
   echo "$username@$domain $uid|$gid|$home|$shell|$password|/var/www/www.$domain/user/${domain}_$username/Maildir" >> /etc/courier/userdb
   /usr/sbin/makeuserdb
 done

IFS=$OIFS

The content in /etc/courier/userdb is:

Code:

[email protected] uid=10014|gid=10006|home=/var/www/web6|shell=/bin/false|systempw=$1$CwvHHL@}$vLvpPKT6FN1Nxa1E5hDDC0|/var/www/www.domain.de/user/domain.de_werner/Maildir
[email protected] uid=10013|gid=10003|home=/var/www/web3|shell=/bin/false|systempw=$1$QJqPJviI$JU3UO4bOF.vL7CotHntuh1|/var/www/www.domain.us/user/domain.us_michael/Maildir

But the login does not work! What is wrong in the generated userdb-file?

 

Hi Till,

Thanks a lot for helping me. This is a part of the log:

Code:

Mar 25 16:21:32 server imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Mar 25 16:21:37 server imapd: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], time=5

I hope, that helps?

The script now works, if I start it manually.

The job-job file is:

--
# /etc/cron.d/courier_userdb
# E-Mail-Login with "[email protected]"

*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/courier_userdb
--

But the Cron-Job makes the file clean and do not create the recordsets. What could be the reason?

 

You might have to use absolute paths in the script (or set the PATH variable in the script).

 

Hi Falko,

Thanks a lot. I could sort out this problem. Is there an manual for installation of StartSLL-certificates? I saved the server.key and server.crt. But the cert is not valid. What could be the problem?

Thanks a lot!
