Move sasldb2 between two servers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I ask this question a long time ago but had no time until now. Here is
a snip of the conversation:

[snip]
...

An entry in sasldb contains 3 or maybe 4 parts. Username, Realm, Password (and
Type: the "userPassword"). If your users uses only a Username, without
@domain-Part, the Hostname of the Server is used for this key. This is
servername in imapd.conf for Cyrus-Imapd.

Either create entries with:

# saslpasswd -cu domain.tld username

And tell your users to use "user@xxxxxxxxxx" as Username. This should work on
both servers, then.

Or if you (have already) create(d) entries with:

# saslpasswd -c username

The Hostname of the Server is used and either your Users use
"username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" as username or you have to change something
between the Source and Destination (Backup) Server. The easiest is to change
the servername (imapd.conf) of the Backup-Server to be equal the other. Then
Users can use "username" on both servers.

If the databasetype is bdb, you can use db_dump/db_load

# db_dump -p /etc/sasldb2 | sed 's/host1\.domain\.tld/host2.domain.tld/' |
db_load /etc/sasldb2_new

This is only an example, if you really want to use something like that, you
should work at least on the regexp in sed.

Or a little Perl-Script.

I have two cyrus mail server with exact the same setup which runs in a
master/slave syncroniation. It works perfect. The problem is I need to
update both sasldb2 files if I get a new user. As you can read above
there are some solutions. In my environment the

# saslpasswd -cu domain.tld username

is the best way because I have only about 30 users. I tested the above
but could not authentication correct. What do I wrong?

Kind regards,
