Hi,

Does anyone have any idea or hint how to configure dovecot master user? I'm already on it for almost fifteen days and can not find a solution. I appreciate any help,

It's quite simple:

Authentication for master users. Included from 10-auth.conf.

By adding master=yes setting inside a passdb you make the passdb a

list

of "master users", who can log in as anyone else.

<doc/wiki/Authentication.MasterUsers.txt>

Example master user passdb using passwd-file. You can use any passdb

though. passdb { driver = passwd-file master = yes args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers

Unless you're using PAM, you probably still want the destination

user to

be looked up from passdb that it really exists. pass=yes does that.

pass = yes }

then use htpasswd from Apache to generate the file "/etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers"

The documentation explains it quite well:
