Hi

I am trying to implement my own LDAP based virtual domain system. I have the LDAP setup the way I would like to hav eit and the MTA (exim) also set up to deliver just fine, but courier-imap needs a little bit more flexibility to do what I want, it seems (obervation, not a flame). But I thought I would ask to make sure I am not missing something.

I have the LDAP hierarchy so:

base is

dc=mydomain,dc=net # the ISP main domain name

next comes

domain=virtualdomain.com (,dc=mydomain,dc=net)

next comes

accountname=account (,domain=virtualdomain.com,dc=mydomain,dc=net)

accountname could be just the account (ie john) or be fully qualified (ie, jo...@virtualdomain.com), I don't care. Fully qualified would only make the one following need a real need since it could query LDAP with the fully qualified name still.

In authldaprc I need to be able to specify something like

LDAP_BASEDN domain=$domain,dc=mydomain,dc=net

with $domain being a variable that the authldaprc processor could get from the passed in mail address it is trying to authenticate.

Ideally I should also be able to say something like

LDAP_MAIL accountname using $local_part instead of now which is LDAP_MAIL accountname and the fully qualified name is passed in. My version would allow me to pass in just what I want.

Anyway, is there any way to get the effect I desire or do I need to do something else (I already have a not as flexible version running I can revert back to).

The "exim" MTA has all sorts of airable substitutins and expressions you can setup in the conf file that allows me to do things that I am needing with my LDAP setp and I was just wishing :-)

Thanks Chad
