Description

The automx_sql(5) man page specifies all parameters that control access from
within automx to a SQL backend.

Parameters

host (default: none)

    Specifies one or more SQL servers separated by commas. Each server
    specification must provide database driver, username and password to access
    a database on a host as shown in the following example:

    host = driver://username:password@hostname/database

    Important

    Subsequent servers to the first serve only for fallback purposes, i.e. a
    server to the right will only be queried if the server left to it cannot be
    reached. If a server can be reached no further attempts will be made
    regardless if the query returned a result or not.

query (default: none)

    Specifies the query that should be sent to the database specified with the
    host parameter:

        query = SELECT displayname, mailaddr FROM mail WHERE mailaddr='%s';

    Note

    See the section called “Macros and Variables” in automx.conf(5) for a list
    of available query macros.

result_attrs (default: none)

    Specifies the attributes whose values should be used in an automx account
    setup:

        result_attrs = displayname, mailaddr
