dovecot 2.4.2 connecting to Database [CLOSED]

This is an unresolved issue from topic http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-11 ... ight-.html specific to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Complete_V ... _mechanism Section Configuring dovecot:

The four .conf files in the Gentoo wiki would result in error starting the dovecot daemon. I was able to configure both the dovecot.conf and the 50-misc.conf files to start both postfix and daemons and have no mail.error entries by combining information in the Gentoo wiki, Dovecot CE web site and https://z-issue.com/wp/dovecot-2-3-to-2 ... -problems/ site. However, I was not able to figure out the essence of authentication using the PostgreSQL.

Everything else works, my vitual web site of Postfixadmin, even the pgsql query from Gentoo wiki dovecot-sql.conf.ext file, but

Code: Select all

andraslinux /etc/postfix/pgsql # dovecot auth login janos@andraslinux.jgklinux.jangkom.com
Password: 
passdb: janos@andraslinux.jgklinux.jangkom.com auth failed
extra fields:
  user=janos@andraslinux.jgklinux.jangkom.com
How do I make dovecot talk to PostgreSQL?

I found relevant settings by grepping https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/summa ... tings.html so this topic is closed.
