A message from the Executive Director
Hello, I'm Hord Tipton. As the new executive director of (ISC)², I would like to first express how honored I am to be leading the world's preeminent group of information security professionals.
This is a very exciting time in (ISC)²'s history. As we approach our 20th anniversary as an organization next year, I hope to build on the tremendous success (ISC)² has experienced in recent years and increase awareness beyond the security community about the contributions that you, the member, and our organization as a whole, offer each and every day in order to make the cyber world a safer place for all.
I envision (ISC)² taking an increasing role in humanitarian causes. By sponsoring or partnering with various organizations to further programs like Cyber Security Awareness Month and the Childnet initiative, which teaches children about safe Internet practices, we will only increase our value to the community. There are also a couple of new programs in the works, about which I will keep you posted as things develop.
One of the strongest assets (ISC)² has going for itself is you - our dedicated members. You are all ambassadors of information security, instilling best practices in your organizations and promoting security for the common good. I believe it is our responsibility as experts to develop professionals in all parts of the world, build upon our respected ethics program, and educate private citizens about the best methods to protect themselves.
As leader of (ISC)², it is my responsibility to provide you the tools you need to more effectively and confidently do your jobs, to achieve career satisfaction, and to serve as goodwill ambassadors. You will notice improvements to our Web site in the coming weeks, which will provide more timely and relevant information. We are also working to enhance methods to help you further your career by offering opportunities to volunteer at workshops, increase your chances of getting published, participating in speakers bureaus, and finding the right job or the right candidate for your open positions.
We recognize that information security is truly a global issue, and there are some parts of the world where further outreach is needed, such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia and Northern Africa. By working together, we can succeed in raising the profile of (ISC)² and taking the organization to the next level as the leader in developing security professionals across the globe. I welcome your thoughts and look forward to working with you!

DOVEADM-DIRECTOR(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-DIRECTOR(1) NAME
doveadm-director - Manage Dovecot directors SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] director add [-a director_socket_path] host [vhost_count] doveadm [-Dv] director flush [-a director_socket_path] host|all doveadm [-Dv] director map [-a director_socket_path] [-f users_file] [host] doveadm [-Dv] director remove [-a director_socket_path] host doveadm [-Dv] director dump [-a director_socket_path] doveadm [-Dv] director status [-a director_socket_path] [user] DESCRIPTION
doveadm director can be used to manage and query the status of the list of backend mail servers where Dovecot proxy can redirect connec- tions to. OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options: -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: -a director_socket_path This option is used to specify an alternative socket. The option's 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. By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /var/run/dovecot/director-admin. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. ARGUMENTS
host A mail server's hostname or IP address. user Is a user's login name. Depending on the configuration, a login name may be for example jane or john@example.com. vhost_count The number of "virtual hosts" to assign to this server. The higher the number is relative to other servers, the more connections it gets. The default is 100. COMMANDS
director add doveadm director add [-a director_socket_path] host [vhost_count] The command's tasks are: * assign a new mail server to the director. * increase/decrease the vhost_count of an already assigned server. director flush doveadm director flush [-a director_socket_path] host|all doveadm director flush drops all user associations either from the given host or all hosts. This command is intended mainly for testing purposes. director map doveadm director map [-a director_socket_path] [-f users_file] [host] The command doveadm director map is used to list current user -> host mappings. -f users_file Path to a file containing all user names (one per line). When given no userdb lookup will be performed. This may be a helpful alternative when for example the network connection to the LDAP or SQL server is slow. host Specify a server's IP address or hostname, to list only mappings of the given host. director remove doveadm director remove [-a director_socket_path] host Use this command in order to remove the given host from the director. director dump doveadm director dump [-a director_socket_path] Dump the current host configuration as doveadm commands. These commands can be easily run after a full director cluster restart to get back to the dumped state. director status doveadm director status [-a director_socket_path] [user] This command is used to show the current usage of all assigned mail servers. When a user name is given, this command shows which server the user is currently assigned to, where the user will be assigned after the current saved assignment gets removed and where the user would be assigned to if the whole proxy cluster was restarted fresh. FILES
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Dovecot's main configuration file. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-director.conf Director specific settings. EXAMPLE
Add a director with vhost count 150 (or change existing one's vhost count to 150): doveadm -v director add x1357.imap.ha.example.net 150 2001:db8:543:6861:143::1357: OK Remove a director: doveadm director remove x1357.imap.ha.example.net Query the status of mail hosts in a director: doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 192.168.10.1 100 125 192.168.10.2 100 144 192.168.10.3 100 115 Query the status of a user's assignment: doveadm director status user@example.com Current: 192.168.10.1 (expires 2010-06-18 20:17:04) Hashed: 192.168.10.2 Initial config: 192.168.10.3 This means that the user is currently assigned to mail server on IP 192.168.10.1. After all of user's connections have logged out, the assignment will be removed (currently it looks like at 20:17:04, but that may be increased). After the assignment has expired, the user will next time be redirected to 192.168.10.2 (assuming no changes to director settings). If the entire Dovecot proxy cluster was restarted, so that all of the director configuration would revert back to its initial values, the user would be redirected to 192.168.10.3. REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs, including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org>. Information about reporting bugs is avail- able at: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html SEE ALSO
