NAME

doveadm-mailbox-cryptokey - Mail crypt plugin management  

SYNOPSIS

doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=password [ -Dv ][ -f formatter ] mailbox cryptokey export|generate|list|password [ -u username | -A ][ -S ][ -F file ] [ other options ]
 

DESCRIPTION

Generate new keypair for user or folder. The new keypair is marked as active.  

OPTIONS

options:
-A
If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting.

When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.

-F file
Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is similar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file contains one username per line.
-S socket_path
The optionaqs argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.

-u user/mask
Run the command only for the given user. Itaqs also possible to use aq*aq and aq?aq wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user.
-o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=password
Dovecot option, needed if you use password protected keys
