# This file is commonly accessed via passdb {} or userdb {} section in
# conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext
# This file is opened as root, so it should be owned by root and mode 0600.
#
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL
#
# For the sql passdb module, you'll need a database with a table that
# contains fields for at least the username and password. If you want to
# use the user@domain syntax, you might want to have a separate domain
# field as well.
#
# If your users all have the same uig/gid, and have predictable home
# directories, you can use the static userdb module to generate the home
# dir based on the username and domain. In this case, you won't need fields
# for home, uid, or gid in the database.
#
# If you prefer to use the sql userdb module, you'll want to add fields
# for home, uid, and gid. Here is an example table:
#
# CREATE TABLE users (
# username VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
# domain VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
# password VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
# home VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
# uid INTEGER NOT NULL,
# gid INTEGER NOT NULL,
# active CHAR(1) DEFAULT 'Y' NOT NULL
# );
# Database driver: mysql, pgsql, sqlite
#driver =
# Database connection string. This is driver-specific setting.
#
# HA / round-robin load-balancing is supported by giving multiple host
# settings, like: host=sql1.host.org host=sql2.host.org
#
# pgsql:
# For available options, see the PostgreSQL documentation for the
# PQconnectdb function of libpq.
# Use maxconns=n (default 5) to change how many connections Dovecot can
# create to pgsql.
#
# mysql:
# Basic options emulate PostgreSQL option names:
# host, port, user, password, dbname
#
# But also adds some new settings:
# client_flags - See MySQL manual
# connect_timeout - Connect timeout in seconds (default: 5)
# read_timeout - Read timeout in seconds (default: 30)
# write_timeout - Write timeout in seconds (default: 30)
# ssl_ca, ssl_ca_path - Set either one or both to enable SSL
# ssl_cert, ssl_key - For sending client-side certificates to server
# ssl_cipher - Set minimum allowed cipher security (default: HIGH)
# ssl_verify_server_cert - Verify that the name in the server SSL certificate
# matches the host (default: no)
# option_file - Read options from the given file instead of
# the default my.cnf location
# option_group - Read options from the given group (default: client)
#
# You can connect to UNIX sockets by using host: host=/var/run/mysql.sock
# Note that currently you can't use spaces in parameters.
#
# sqlite:
# The path to the database file.
#
# Examples:
# connect = host=192.168.1.1 dbname=users
# connect = host=sql.example.com dbname=virtual user=virtual password=blarg
# connect = /etc/dovecot/authdb.sqlite
#
#connect =
# Default password scheme.
#
# List of supported schemes is in
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
#
#default_pass_scheme = MD5
# passdb query to retrieve the password. It can return fields:
# password - The user's password. This field must be returned.
# user - user@domain from the database. Needed with case-insensitive lookups.
# username and domain - An alternative way to represent the "user" field.
#
# The "user" field is often necessary with case-insensitive lookups to avoid
# e.g. "name" and "nAme" logins creating two different mail directories. If
# your user and domain names are in separate fields, you can return "username"
# and "domain" fields instead of "user".
#
# The query can also return other fields which have a special meaning, see
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields
#
# Commonly used available substitutions (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables
# for full list):
# %u = entire user@domain
# %n = user part of user@domain
# %d = domain part of user@domain
#
# Note that these can be used only as input to SQL query. If the query outputs
# any of these substitutions, they're not touched. Otherwise it would be
# difficult to have eg. usernames containing '%' characters.
#
# Example:
# password_query = SELECT userid AS user, pw AS password \
# FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' AND active = 'Y'
#
#password_query = \
# SELECT username, domain, password \
# FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d'
# userdb query to retrieve the user information. It can return fields:
# uid - System UID (overrides mail_uid setting)
# gid - System GID (overrides mail_gid setting)
# home - Home directory
# mail - Mail location (overrides mail_location setting)
#
# None of these are strictly required. If you use a single UID and GID, and
# home or mail directory fits to a template string, you could use userdb static
# instead. For a list of all fields that can be returned, see
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
#
# Examples:
# user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'
# user_query = SELECT dir AS home, user AS uid, group AS gid FROM users where userid = '%u'
# user_query = SELECT home, 501 AS uid, 501 AS gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'
#
#user_query = \
# SELECT home, uid, gid \
# FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d'
# If you wish to avoid two SQL lookups (passdb + userdb), you can use
# userdb prefetch instead of userdb sql in dovecot.conf. In that case you'll
# also have to return userdb fields in password_query prefixed with "userdb_"
# string. For example:
#password_query = \
# SELECT userid AS user, password, \
# home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \
# FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'
# Query to get a list of all usernames.
#iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM users
