<div class="">Question about proper setup of service accounts: I
see that the service accounts I set up under "cn=etc,
cn=sysaccounts" are still able to log in, but the permission
changes have left them unable to read anything. Previously, I
hacked the ACLs on the domain root. I would like to believe
that's not how it should be done.</div>

<div class="">That said, I was surprised that service accounts are

The ACIs changed because we tightened them for the read permissions.<br class="">
I hope you would be able to change them so that your service account
works again.<br class="">
Here is the root page of the changes that we implemented.<br class="">

System account is probably the right one for Postfix.<br class="">
<br class="">
It is not in the UI and CLI because other features take precedence.
We acknowledge that it needs to be added, we just not have enough
time and resources to do it.<br class="">
When we looked at 4.2 we assessed it too and it was on the border
line with a good chance of not happening, sorry.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Thanks Dmitri. I had known in advance about the ACLs, but couldn't fully appreciate what was going to happen until doing the upgrade. Once it was done, I was kind of surprised that the ACL changes replicated to the 3.x server. As luck would have it, I didn't snapshot both servers at the same time before upgrading either, and eventually, the ACLs managed to work their way back to both the 3.x snapshots (one of them was obviously snapshotted after the other one had been installed with 4.1). I couldn't find upgrade notes with "gotcha"s, this might be a good addition if there are somewhere. It was kind of humorous in all.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As for the service feature itself, please don't apologize. I think you guys did a spectacular job with this feature set. What I was concerned about is making sure I am doing things as closely as possible to future patterns to reduce upgrade costs. I don't know if it's possible to document the pattern without committing to the feature, but it might be helpful.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The one thing I would like to discover at this point is whether roles and privileges build in the UI can be used by system accounts. If so, I could stop editing ACLs directly in LDIF, which is error prone and not the kind of thing I remember too well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kind regards, Brian</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""></blockquote></div></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
