ISPconfig user@domain email login HOW TO

What happens when your upgrade your ISPConfig to the latest version?

 

If you update ISPConfig...you're going to have to do some of these changes again. And the changes may be different depending on how much ISPConfig has changed.

 

I'd like to thank you for this howto. Works fine with just few changes (paths specific to SLES10 SP1 which i use).

 

Im running CentOS 5.2 with the latest stable of ISPconfig.

wheres my courier file to edit as mentioned at the start of the post i looked everywhere.

 

You mean CentOS 5.1, don't you?

There are no Courier packages available, unless you build them yourselves: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-courier-imap-courier-authlib-maildrop-fedora-redhat-centos
The standard POP3/IMAP daemon on CentOS is Dovecot.

 

Implemented on Debian 4.0 with small modifications

I modified the custpw2userdb to create userdb only for users created by ISPconfig, uid greater then 10000

Code:

while (<PASSWD>) {
        chop if /\n$/;
        next if /^#/;
        ($acct,$passwd,$uid,$gid,$name,$home,$shell)=split( /:/ );
[B]        if ($uid > 10000) {[/B]
        $PASSWORD{$acct}=$passwd if $passwd ne "x";
        $UID{$acct}=$uid;
        $GID{$acct}=$gid;
        $HOME{$acct}=$home;
        $SHELL{$acct}=$shell;
        $name =~ s/\|/./g; # Just in case
        $GECOS{$acct}=$name;
        [B]}[/B]
}

After creating a new user the script wasn't executed so I added the command "perl" to the line inserted in writeconf.php

Code:

exec("perl /root/ispconfig/scripts/custpw2userdb &> /dev/null");

This is it for the moment, I will try to put my server online for production in a couple o days, if i need to make other changes i will update my post.
Hope it will help.

Regards

 

Nice, I do testing in this night. What is the problem for ispconfig for general intigrating this feature in ispconfig.

 

I have do what in your howto is, do not work

Code:

Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authentication error: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authentication error: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authentication error: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Jan  9 01:00:04 serv courierpop3login: authentication error: No such file or directory

 

I wouldnt recommend doing this hack until its fully supported or integration with all of the ISPconfig features have been supported out. For example theres something with the spam catcher that doesnt line up.
So i would wait
-usernames have been expanded
-ftp login names have been cleaned up
-It has support with the settings of spam assassin and virus scanner.

Yes its a very nice thing to have but theres still a lot of options that have not been documented on how to make work with this option.

Even now i have reverted to the old user name system and im still trying to "unbreak" the spam catcher and virus scanner.

 

Tested ... Results

Hi everyone,

I tested the hack, all seams to be ok, virus scanner working, spam scanner working (thees are not affected by anyway).
It's seams to be something with the mail-user login, witch is not working yet.

 

Hello and thanks for the great howto from grant with the additional informations from marton_erno.

In my first post i want to tell how it works with SuSe 10.1
You will need some changes:

in /root/ispconfig/scripts/custpw2userdb:

Code:

$userdb = "/etc/authlib/userdb";
$userdbtmp = "/etc/authlib/userdb.tmp";

/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc don´t need any modifications.

in /etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon between "### END INIT INFO" and "# Check for missing binaries":

Code:

exec_prefix=${prefix}
sysconfdir="/etc/courier"
sbindir="${exec_prefix}/sbin"
daemonscript="${sbindir}/authdaemond"
run_dir="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/courier/authdaemon"

# create  /var/run if it does not already exist
if [ ! -d ${run_dir} ]; then
        mkdir -p ${run_dir}
        chown daemon:daemon ${run_dir} /var/spool/postfix/var/run/courier
        chmod 755 ${run_dir}
fi

if [ ! -h /var/run/courier ]; then
        ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/courier /var/run/courier
fi

in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:

Code:

authdaemond_path: /var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap/socket

Finally i need

Code:

chmod o+x /var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap/

If you don´t chmod you get a "permission denied" error from SASL.

After modifying i make

Code:

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart
 

and the userdb was created without any errors.

Thats all. I hope someone need it.

Will these feature become part of the System in the next Release?

I think this is a big advantage and many users would be happy about that.

Hi,

I tried grand's version, but I my postfix can't access the courier db

The funny thing is, that I can send Mail through the Roubdcube.

 

Dovecot user@domain?

Hi,

This is great work for setting up courier authentication with a user@domain.

Has anyone successfully configured dovecot with this configuration (on an ISP Config system) by chance?

Thanks,


Antonio

 

Sorry, I just found the following that has a solution:

Hi,
I followed all instructions described in http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.1-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig-p1
I put some changes to have user@domain athu for SMTP ... Every things seem to be OK ... but the little problem .. when I set auth for my mail client It force me to provide correct user/pass but I found that it Also works without athu !!! Does anybody know how I can for my user to athu himself to use my SMPT server?!!!

Is the correct :

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject _unauth_destination

 

It's seems that "mailuserlogin" and "webstat" feature does not work after changing user prefix and dovecot settings ....

Any Idea?!!!
