[Dovecot] newbie question dovecot and ldap

["Fábio M. Catunda"]

Hi,

It looks like that this user does not exist:
"LDAP: binding failed (dn cn=natsciadmin,ou=Special 
Users,dc=ucmerced,dc=edu): No such object "

Try to bind with Manager (if you have such user), just to be sure!

Regards,

Fábio Catunda!
