It is overly complex.
The entire idea is, that each user can have several mail addresses.
I have such a setup with dovecot.
For each *mailbox* (not system user) I have a separate LDAP entry with its own password and multiple aliases.
In my case I'm not using the uidNumber attribute because my dovecot installation simply uses vmail:vmail for user/group ownership of the mailbox files.
But of course you could also add the 'posixAccount' object class to your mailbox entries.
Ciao, Michael.
I'm aware of the vmail:vmail setup. Unfortunately this is not an option for this mail server implementation. Also I don't want to add 'posixAccount' to my mailbox entries - it would overload it, since it also requires lots of additional unused attributes. I would rather add mailUid and mailGid to my schema to keep it as low weight as possible. But it would still not make me happy since this mailUid and mailGid would be exactly the very same as in uidNumber of the user the ou=mail container with the accounts belongs to. Is there maybe a way of implementing a symbloic link? Something like
mailUid === Internal Symbolic Link to ===> uidNumber,userid=User-1,ou=people,dc=netocean,dc=local
Thanks
