These tables are usually in +\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format. + +Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as LDAP databases. + +In order to use LDAP lookups, define an LDAP source as a lookup +table in main.cf, for example: + +.nf + alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf +.fi + +The file /etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf has the same format as +the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters +described below. An example is given at the end of this manual. + +This configuration method is available with Postfix version +2.1 and later. See the section "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS" +below for older Postfix versions. + +For details about LDAP SSL and STARTTLS, see the section +on SSL and STARTTLS below. +.SH "LIST MEMBERSHIP" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +When using LDAP to store lists such as $mynetworks, +$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps, +etc., it is important to understand that the table must +store each list member as a separate key.

When the result is unqualified it +is skipped. +.IP "\fB%[SUD1\-9]\fR" +The upper\-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate +the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their +behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery_filter\fR, +and in fact because the input key is known in advance, lookups +whose key does not contain all the information specified in +the result template are suppressed and return no results. +.IP +The above %S, %U, %D and %1, ..., %9 expansions are available with +Postfix 2.2 and later. +.RE +.IP +For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one +to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5) +table. After applying the result format, multiple values +are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit +and size_limit parameters explained below allow one to +restrict the number of values in the result, which is +especially useful for maps that should return a single +value. + +The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each +attribute value should be used as is. + +This parameter was called \fBresult_filter\fR in Postfix +releases prior to 2.2. If no "result_format" is specified, +the value of "result_filter" will be used instead before +resorting to the default value. This provides compatibility +with old configuration files. + +NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format! +.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR" +This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or +dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search +keys with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain +are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups +and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly +reduce the query load on the LDAP server. + +.nf + domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains +.fi + +It is best not to use LDAP to store the domains eligible +for LDAP lookups. + +NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases. + +This feature is available in Postfix 1.0 and later. +.IP "\fBresult_attribute (default: maildrop)\fR" +The attribute(s) Postfix will read from any directory +entries returned by the lookup, to be resolved to an email +address. + +.nf + result_attribute = mailbox, maildrop +.fi + +Don't rely on the default value ("maildrop"). Set the +result_attribute explicitly in all ldap table configuration +files. This is particularly relevant when no result_attribute +is applicable, e.g. cases in which leaf_result_attribute and/or +terminal_result_attribute are used instead. The default value +is harmless if "maildrop" is also listed as a leaf or terminal +result attribute, but it is best to not leave this to chance. +.IP "\fBspecial_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR" +The attribute(s) of directory entries that can contain DNs +or RFC 2255 LDAP URLs. If found, a recursive search +is performed to retrieve the entry referenced by the DN, or +the entries matched by the URL query. + +.nf + special_result_attribute = memberdn +.fi + +DN recursion retrieves the same result_attributes as the +main query, including the special attributes for further +recursion. + +URL processing retrieves only those attributes that are included +in both the URL definition and as result attributes (ordinary, +special, leaf or terminal) in the Postfix table definition. +If the URL lists any of the table's special result attributes, +these are retrieved and used recursively. A URL that does not +specify any attribute selection, is equivalent (RFC 2255) to a +URL that selects all attributes, in which case the selected +attributes will be the full set of result attributes in the +Postfix table. + +If an LDAP URL attribute\-descriptor or the corresponding Postfix +LDAP table result attribute (but not both) uses RFC 2255 sub\-type +options ("attr;option"), the attribute requested from the LDAP server +will include the sub\-type option. In all other cases, the URL +attribute and the table attribute must match exactly. Attributes +with options in both the URL and the Postfix table are requested +only when the options are identical. LDAP attribute\-descriptor +options are very rarely used, most LDAP users will not +need to concern themselves with this level of nuanced detail. +.IP "\fBterminal_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR" +When one or more terminal result attributes are found in an LDAP +entry, all other result attributes are ignored and only the terminal +result attributes are returned. This is useful for delegating expansion +of group members to a particular host, by using an optional "maildrop" +attribute on selected groups to route the group to a specific host, +where the group is expanded, possibly via mailing\-list manager or +other special processing. + +.nf + result_attribute = + terminal_result_attribute = maildrop +.fi + +When using terminal and/or leaf result attributes, the +result_attribute is best set to an empty value when it is not +used, or else explicitly set to the desired value, even if it is +the default value "maildrop". + +This feature is available with Postfix 2.4 or later. +.IP "\fBleaf_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR" +When one or more special result attributes are found in a non\-terminal +(see above) LDAP entry, leaf result attributes are excluded from the +expansion of that entry. This is useful when expanding groups and the +desired mail address attribute(s) of the member objects obtained via +DN or URI recursion are also present in the group object. To only +return the attribute values from the leaf objects and not the +containing group, add the attribute to the leaf_result_attribute list, +and not the result_attribute list, which is always expanded. Note, +the default value of "result_attribute" is not empty, you may want to +set it explicitly empty when using "leaf_result_attribute" to expand +the group to a list of member DN addresses. If groups have both +member DN references AND attributes that hold multiple string valued +rfc822 addresses, then the string attributes go in "result_attribute". +The attributes that represent the email addresses of objects +referenced via a DN (or LDAP URI) go in "leaf_result_attribute". + +.nf + result_attribute = memberaddr + special_result_attribute = memberdn + terminal_result_attribute = maildrop + leaf_result_attribute = mail +.fi + +When using terminal and/or leaf result attributes, the +result_attribute is best set to an empty value when it is not +used, or else explicitly set to the desired value, even if it is +the default value "maildrop". + +This feature is available with Postfix 2.4 or later. +.IP "\fBscope (default: sub)\fR" +The LDAP search scope: \fBsub\fR, \fBbase\fR, or \fBone\fR. +These translate into LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, LDAP_SCOPE_BASE, +and LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL. +.IP "\fBbind (default: yes)\fR" +Whether or how to bind to the LDAP server. Newer LDAP +implementations don't require clients to bind, which saves +time. Example: + +.nf + # Don't bind + bind = no + # Use SIMPLE bind + bind = yes + # Use SASL bind + bind = sasl +.fi + +Postfix versions prior to 2.8 only support "bind = no" which +means don't bind, and "bind = yes" which means do a SIMPLE bind. +Postfix 2.8 and later also supports "bind = SASL" when compiled +with LDAP SASL support as described in LDAP_README, it also adds +the synonyms "bind = none" and "bind = simple" for "bind = no" +and "bind = yes" respectively. See the SASL section below for +additional parameters available with "bind = sasl". + +If you do need to bind, you might consider configuring +Postfix to connect to the local machine on a port that's +an SSL tunnel to your LDAP server. If your LDAP server +doesn't natively support SSL, put a tunnel (wrapper, proxy, +whatever you want to call it) on that system too. This +should prevent the password from traversing the network in +the clear. +.IP "\fBbind_dn (default: empty)\fR" +If you do have to bind, do it with this distinguished name. Example: + +.nf + bind_dn = uid=postfix, dc=your, dc=com +.fi +With "bind = sasl" (see above) the DN may be optional for some SASL +mechanisms, don't specify a DN if not needed. +.IP "\fBbind_pw (default: empty)\fR" +The password for the distinguished name above. If you have +to use this, you probably want to make the map configuration +file readable only by the Postfix user. When using the +obsolete ldap:ldapsource syntax, with map parameters in +main.cf, it is not possible to securely store the bind +password. This is because main.cf needs to be world readable +to allow local accounts to submit mail via the sendmail +command. Example: + +.nf + bind_pw = postfixpw +.fi +With "bind = sasl" (see above) the password may be optional +for some SASL mechanisms, don't specify a password if not needed. +.IP "\fBcache (IGNORED with a warning)\fR" +.IP "\fBcache_expiry (IGNORED with a warning)\fR" +.IP "\fBcache_size (IGNORED with a warning)\fR" +The above parameters are NO LONGER SUPPORTED by Postfix. +Cache support has been dropped from OpenLDAP as of release +2.1.13. +.IP "\fBrecursion_limit (default: 1000)\fR" +A limit on the nesting depth of DN and URL special result +attribute evaluation. The limit must be a non\-zero positive +number. +.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR" +A limit on the total number of result elements returned +(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map. +A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a +temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the +limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple +values. +.IP "\fBsize_limit (default: $expansion_limit)\fR" +A limit on the number of LDAP entries returned by any single +LDAP search performed as part of the lookup. A setting of +0 disables the limit. Expansion of DN and URL references +involves nested LDAP queries, each of which is separately +subjected to this limit. + +Note: even a single LDAP entry can generate multiple lookup +results, via multiple result attributes and/or multi\-valued +result attributes. This limit caps the per search resource +utilization on the LDAP server, not the final multiplicity +of the lookup result. It is analogous to the "\-z" option +of "ldapsearch". +.IP "\fBdereference (default: 0)\fR" +When to dereference LDAP aliases. (Note that this has +nothing do with Postfix aliases.) The permitted values are +those legal for the OpenLDAP/UM LDAP implementations: +.RS +.IP 0 +never +.IP 1 +when searching +.IP 2 +when locating the base object for the search +.IP 3 +always +.RE +.IP +See ldap.h or the ldap_open(3) or ldapsearch(1) man pages +for more information. And if you're using an LDAP package +that has other possible values, please bring it to the +attention of the postfix\-users@postfix.org mailing list. +.IP "\fBchase_referrals (default: 0)\fR" +Sets (or clears) LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS (requires LDAP version +3 support). +.IP "\fBversion (default: 2)\fR" +Specifies the LDAP protocol version to use. +.IP "\fBdebuglevel (default: 0)\fR" +What level to set for debugging in the OpenLDAP libraries. +.SH "LDAP SASL PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +If you're using the OpenLDAP libraries compiled with SASL +support, Postfix 2.8 and later built with LDAP SASL support +as described in LDAP_README can authenticate to LDAP servers +via SASL. + +This enables authentication to the LDAP server via mechanisms +other than a simple password. The added flexibility has a cost: +it is no longer practical to set an explicit timeout on the duration +of an LDAP bind operation. Under adverse conditions, whether a SASL +bind times out, or if it does, the duration of the timeout is +determined by the LDAP and SASL libraries. + +It is best to use tables that use SASL binds via proxymap(8), this +way the requesting process can time\-out the proxymap request. This +also lets you tailer the process environment by overriding the +proxymap(8) import_environment setting in master.cf(5). Special +environment settings may be needed to configure GSSAPI credential +caches or other SASL mechanism specific options. The GSSAPI +credentials used for LDAP lookups may need to be different than +say those used for the Postfix SMTP client to authenticate to remote +servers. + +Using SASL mechanisms requires LDAP protocol version 3, the default +protocol version is 2 for backwards compatibility. You must set +"version = 3" in addition to "bind = sasl". + +The following parameters are relevant to using LDAP with SASL +.IP "\fBsasl_mechs (default: empty)\fR" +Space separated list of SASL mechanism(s) to try. +.IP "\fBsasl_realm (default: empty)\fR" +SASL Realm to use, if applicable. +.IP "\fBsasl_authz_id (default: empty)\fR" +The SASL authorization identity to assert, if applicable. +.IP "\fBsasl_minssf (default: 0)\fR" +The minimum required sasl security factor required to establish a +connection. +.SH "LDAP SSL AND STARTTLS PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +If you're using the OpenLDAP libraries compiled with SSL +support, Postfix can connect to LDAP SSL servers and can +issue the STARTTLS command. + +LDAP SSL service can be requested by using a LDAP SSL URL +in the server_host parameter: + +.nf + server_host = ldaps://ldap.example.com:636 +.fi + +STARTTLS can be turned on with the start_tls parameter: + +.nf + start_tls = yes +.fi + +Both forms require LDAP protocol version 3, which has to be set +explicitly with: + +.nf + version = 3 +.fi + +If any of the Postfix programs querying the map is configured in +master.cf to run chrooted, all the certificates and keys involved +have to be copied to the chroot jail. Of course, the private keys +should only be readable by the user "postfix". + +The following parameters are relevant to LDAP SSL and STARTTLS: +.IP "\fBstart_tls (default: no)\fR" +Whether or not to issue STARTTLS upon connection to the +server. Don't set this with LDAP SSL (the SSL session is setup +automatically when the TCP connection is opened). +.IP "\fBtls_ca_cert_dir (No default; set either this or tls_ca_cert_file)\fR" +Directory containing X509 Certification Authority certificates +in PEM format which are to be recognized by the client in +SSL/TLS connections. The files each contain one CA certificate. +The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, +which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate +with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be +different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). The search is +performed in the ordering of the extension number, regardless +of other properties of the certificates. Use the c_rehash +utility (from the OpenSSL distribution) to create the +necessary links. +.IP "\fBtls_ca_cert_file (No default; set either this or tls_ca_cert_dir)\fR" +File containing the X509 Certification Authority certificates +in PEM format which are to be recognized by the client in +SSL/TLS connections. This setting takes precedence over +tls_ca_cert_dir. +.IP "\fBtls_cert (No default; you must set this)\fR" +File containing client's X509 certificate to be used by +the client in SSL/ TLS connections. +.IP "\fBtls_key (No default; you must set this)\fR" +File containing the private key corresponding to the above +tls_cert. +.IP "\fBtls_require_cert (default: no)\fR" +Whether or not to request server's X509 certificate and +check its validity when establishing SSL/TLS connections. +The supported values are \fBno\fR and \fByes\fR. +.sp +With \fBno\fR, the server certificate trust chain is not checked, +but with OpenLDAP prior to 2.1.13, the name in the server +certificate must still match the LDAP server name. With OpenLDAP +2.0.0 to 2.0.11 the server name is not necessarily what you +specified, rather it is determined (by reverse lookup) from the +IP address of the LDAP server connection. With OpenLDAP prior to +2.0.13, subjectAlternativeName extensions in the LDAP server +certificate are ignored: the server name must match the subject +CommonName. The \fBno\fR setting corresponds to the \fBnever\fR +value of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR in LDAP client configuration files. +.sp +Don't use TLS with OpenLDAP 2.0.x (and especially with x <= 11) +if you can avoid it. +.sp +With \fByes\fR, the server certificate must be issued by a trusted +CA, and not be expired. The LDAP server name must match one of the +name(s) found in the certificate (see above for OpenLDAP library +version dependent behavior). The \fByes\fR setting corresponds to the +\fBdemand\fR value of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR in LDAP client configuration +files. +.sp +The "try" and "allow" values of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR have no equivalents +here. They are not available with OpenLDAP 2.0, and in any case have +questionable security properties. Either you want TLS verified LDAP +connections, or you don't. +.sp +The \fByes\fR value only works correctly with Postfix 2.5 and later, +or with OpenLDAP 2.0. Earlier Postfix releases or later OpenLDAP +releases don't work together with this setting. Support for LDAP +over TLS was added to Postfix based on the OpenLDAP 2.0 API. +.IP "\fBtls_random_file (No default)\fR" +Path of a file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random +is not available, to be used by the client in SSL/TLS +connections. +.IP "\fBtls_cipher_suite (No default)\fR" +Cipher suite to use in SSL/TLS negotiations. +.SH "EXAMPLE" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +Here's a basic example for using LDAP to look up local(8) +aliases. +Assume that in main.cf, you have: + +.nf + alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, + ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf +.fi + +and in ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf you have: + +.nf + server_host = ldap.example.com + search_base = dc=example, dc=com +.fi + +Upon receiving mail for a local address "ldapuser" that +isn't found in the /etc/aliases database, Postfix will +search the LDAP server listening at port 389 on ldap.example.com. +It will bind anonymously, search for any directory entries +whose mailacceptinggeneralid attribute is "ldapuser", read +the "maildrop" attributes of those found, and build a list +of their maildrops, which will be treated as RFC822 addresses +to which the message will be delivered. +.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +For backwards compatibility with Postfix version 2.0 and earlier, +LDAP parameters can also be defined in main.cf. Specify +as LDAP source a name that doesn't begin with a slash or +a dot. The LDAP parameters will then be accessible as the +name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore, +and the name of the parameter. For example, if the map is +specified as "ldap:\fIldapsource\fR", the "server_host" +parameter below would be defined in main.cf as +"\fIldapsource\fR_server_host". + +Note: with this form, the passwords for the LDAP sources are +written in main.cf, which is normally world\-readable.
