Hello,

summary: allow user to login to a specific domain instead of host

We are using the combination of virtualmin and usermin to setup
virtual websites on 1 server. For each domain some users have
an alias for their email, and other can use usermin to access
their email.

The problem is that usermin does not know domains, but only
the host.

So a user john.doe can log-in on each domain, and we need to
create a generics file to get the right email mapping for that
user.

VirtualMin does have the ability to attach the domain name to the
user name, so john.doe becomes john.doe.uniquedomain.
Usermin provides an option to try to map the domain name to
the user name. So john doe logs in with "john.doe" at
unique.com and usermin logs him in as "john.doe.unique". Now
we can setup usermin to attach the domain to the From: field, so
the user can send emails with a valid email address.

The problem is that when a user logs in with "john.doe.unique"
usermin will not append the domain name, and lets the user
log-in. This means that as long as john doe logs in to any domain
hosted by with the name "john.doe.unique" he will get access. To
make sure that the From: address in his email will be correct we
need to setup a generics table...

So, my questions are:
* can I setup usermin that it only allows users to login to their
appointed domain setup by virtualmin ?
* can virtualmin automatically generate the /etc/postfix/generics
table for extra security ?
* or/and can virtualmin get an option to generate the From:
address from the unix username (setup by virtualmin) ?

Using webmin 1.121, usermin 1.051, virtualmin 1.71 and
postfix-1.1.12

With regards,

Robbin

    These sound more like feature requests than bugs :-)
    Some, like the generics table, are planned - but restricting
    users to their appointed domain is not.
