[Dovecot] newbie question dovecot and ldap

[Joseph Norris]

Hello,

Please let me know how I can troubleshoot this - driving me crazy!


I have the following dovecot-ldap.conf file:

hosts = ldap.ucmerced.edu

dn=cn=natsciadmin,ou=Special Users,dc=ucmerced,dc=edu

dnpass=********

ldap_version = 3

base = ou=People,dc=ucmerced,dc=edu
deref = never

scope = subtree

user_attrs = uid

user_filter = (&(ou=Natural Sciences)(organizationalStatus=active)(uid=%u))

pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password

pass_filter = (&(ou=Natural Sciences)(organizationalStatus=active)(uid=%u))

default_pass_scheme = CRYPT




I am getting the following errors in my log for my test user:
