I am setting up a CentOS server with Virtualmin and Postfix, and I am trying to use LDAP to store unix users, groups, Postfix aliases and virtual domains. I am following the instructions from Webmin's site.
I have created an LDAP domain and configured Postfix to fetch Aliases and Virtual Domains from LDAP, but in order to do so I had to configure postfix to authenticate with the master LDAP account, cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com
. This seems like a terrible idea because that account has access to the Users and Groups, which postfix does not need access to.
How can I create a new LDAP account for Postfix which only has access to the LDAP trees Postfix needs?
