(I sent this last night, but to the wrong address.. argh)
After an upgrade to FC5, and a rebuild and install of dovecot 1.0RC7,
I've been getting a LOT of syslog messages like the following:
Sep 26 21:47:55 myhost dovecot-auth: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP
server ldap://ldap.mydomain.com after 1 attempt
Now, everything is working fine as far as I can tell (it's only been a
rocky day since the upgrade.. and that was littered with other LDAP
related problems), but I was wondering why it was even using
nss_ldap... I have dovecot configured to connect to LDAP directly.
My dovecot.conf contains:
auth default {
# Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms:
# plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi
mechanisms = plain
...
passdb pam {
}
...
# LDAP database
#passdb ldap {
# Path for LDAP configuration file, see doc/dovecot-ldap.conf for
example
#args =
#}
...
# LDAP database
userdb ldap {
# Path for LDAP configuration file, see doc/dovecot-ldap.conf for
example
args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
And I am wondering if I missed something obvious here...
I'm going to try commenting out the "passdb pam" section, uncommenting
the "passdb ldap" section and see if that allows for everything to go
directly to LDAP (and not rely on nss_ldap or pam_ldap).
