Lua based authentication
========================
Since v2.3.0 you can implement passdb and userdb using Lua
[https://www.lua.org/] script.

Known bugs
----------
* Before 2.3.4 when returning a table with values, the table values are
mistakenly converted into a number if they seem like a number. So if you are
using values like '012345', this would get converted into '12345'
* Before 2.3.4 returning password without scheme would cause a crash.
Lua interface
-------------
For details about Dovecot Lua, see <Design.Lua.txt>.
When used in authentication, additional module *dovecot.auth* is added, which
contains constants for passdb and userdb.
List of constants
-----------------
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_INTERNAL_FAILURE
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_SCHEME_NOT_AVAILABLE - indicates password scheme
that cannot be understood
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_DISABLED
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_PASS_EXPIRED
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_NEXT - indicates that this passdb did not
authenticate user, next passdb should do it
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_PASSWORD_MISMATCH
* dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK
* dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_INTERNAL_FAILURE
* dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN
* dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_OK
Also, it registers object *struct auth_request** which lets access various
parts of the auth request. You should use the loggers associated with
auth_request when possible.
Auth request methods
--------------------
Functions:
* auth_request#log_debug(text) - logs debug message (if debug is enabled, noop
otherwise)
* auth_request#log_error(text) - logs error message
* auth_request#log_info(text) - logs informational message
* auth_request#log_warning(text) - logs warning message
* auth_request#response_from_template(template) - takes in key=value template
and expands it using var_expand and produces table suitable for passdb
result
* auth_request#var_expand(template) - performs var expansion on the template
using <Variables.txt>
* auth_request#password_verify(crypted_password, plain_password) - checks if
the plain password matches the crypted or hashed password
* auth_request#event() - Returns child event for the auth request, can be used
for logging and other events. Comes with a prefix. (Since v2.3.6+)
Subtables:
* auth_request#passdb
* auth_request#userdb
Members:
See <Variables.txt> for details
* auth_request#auth_domain
* auth_request#auth_user
* auth_request#auth_username
* auth_request#cert
* auth_request#client_id
* auth_request#domain
* auth_request#domain_first
* auth_request#domain_last
* auth_request#home
* auth_request#lip
* auth_request#local_name
* auth_request#login_domain
* auth_request#login_user
* auth_request#login_username
* auth_request#lport
* auth_request#master_user
* auth_request#mech
* auth_request#orig_domain
* auth_request#orig_user
* auth_request#orig_username
* auth_request#password
* auth_request#pid
* auth_request#real_lip
* auth_request#real_lport
* auth_request#real_rip
* auth_request#real_rport
* auth_request#rip
* auth_request#rport
* auth_request#secured
* auth_request#service
* auth_request#session
* auth_request#session_pid
* auth_request#user
* auth_request#username
Additionally you can access
* skip_password_check - Set if the password has already been validated by
another passdb
* passdbs_seen_user_unknown - If some previous passdb has not found this user
* passdbs_seen_internal_failure - If some previous passdb has had internal
failure
* userdbs_seen_internal_failure - If some previous userdb has had internal
failure
Password database
-----------------
Lua passdb supports two modes of function. It can behave as lookup database, or
password verification database.
Lookup function signature is *auth_passdb_lookup(request)* and the password
verification signature is *auth_password_verify(request, password)*
Both functions must return a tuple, which contains a return code, and also
additionally string or table. Table must be in key-value format, it will be
imported into auth request. The string must be in key=value format, except if
return code indicates internal error, the second parameter can be used as error
string.
If *auth_verify_password* is found, it's always used.
To configure passdb in dovecot, use
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
passdb {
driver = lua
args = file=/path/to/lua blocking=yes # default is yes
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, dovecot runs Lua scripts in auth-worker processes. If you do not
want this, you can disable blocking, and Lua script will be ran in auth
process. This can degrade performance if your script is slow or makes external
lookups.
User database
-------------
Lua userdb supports both single user lookup and iteration. Note that iteration
will hold the whole user database in memory during iteration.
User lookup function signature is *auth_userdb_lookup(request)*. The function
must return a tuple, which contains a return code, and also additionally string
or table. Table must be in key-value format, it will be imported into auth
request. The string must be in key=value format, except if return code
indicates internal error, the second parameter can be used as error string.
User iteration function signature is *auth_userdb_iterate*, which is expected
to return table of usernames. Key names are ignored.
To configure userdb in dovecot, use
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
userdb {
driver = lua
args = file=/path/to/lua blocking=yes # default is yes
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples
--------
Skeleton
--------
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
function auth_passdb_lookup(req)
if req.user == "testuser1" then
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, "password=pass"
end
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN, "no such user"
end
function auth_userdb_lookup(req)
if req.user == "testuser1" then
return dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_OK, "uid=vmail gid=vmail"
end
return dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN, "no such user"
end
function script_init()
return 0
end
function script_deinit()
end
function auth_userdb_iterate()
return {"testuser1"}
end
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple username password database (such as opensmtpd)
-----------------------------------------------------
The example uses whitespace separated username and password. As a special
caution, the way Lua is used here means you can have multiple user password per
line, instead of just one.This can be extended to more complicated separators
or multiple fields per user.
If you only want to autenticate users, and don't care about user listing, you
can use
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
function auth_passdb_lookup(req)
for line in io.lines("/path/to/file") do
for user, pass in string.gmatch(line, "(%w+)%s(.+)") do
if (user == req.username) then
-- you can add additional information here, like userdb_uid
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, "password=" .. pass
end
end
end
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN, ""
end
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you also want to be able to list users, so that you could use doveadm cmd -A
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
local database = "/path/to/file"
function db_lookup(username)
for line in io.lines(database) do
for user, pass in string.gmatch(line, "(%w+)%s(.+)") do
if (user == username) then
return {result=0, password=pass}
end
end
end
return {result=-1}
end
function auth_passdb_lookup(req)
res = db_lookup(req.username)
if res.result == 0 then
-- you can add additional information here for passdb
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, "password=" .. res.password
end
return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN, ""
end
function auth_userdb_lookup(req)
res = db_lookup(req.username)
if res.result == 0 then
-- you can add additional information here for userdb, like uid or home
return dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_OK, "uid=vmail gid=vmail"
end
return dovecot.auth.USERDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN, ""
end
function auth_userdb_iterate()
users = {}
for line in io.lines(database) do
for user in string.gmatch(line, "(%w+)%s.+") do
table.insert(users, user)
end
end
return users
end
