[Dovecot] dovecot and ldap

[Antonis Faragitakis]

hi

im trying to install dovecot and use ldap as the backend and i get the
following error
srv:/root# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

tail -f /var/log/dovecot.info

 user=b.tapratzisb.tapratzis

i cant understand why is place 2 times the username in the uid= for search.

my dovecot.conf:
 passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }
userdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }

my dovecot-ldap.conf:
base = ou=Company,ou=Ath,dc=company,dc=gr
deref = never
scope = subtree
user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber
user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid




where it my be the fault?


Thanks
