It does? I guess we do not have that enabled. Only have these two set:

log_path = /var/log/dovecot_error.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot_info.log

Perhaps you mean I should enable "auth_verbose" ? That I can do.

So it really is up to LDAP there.

Yeah, by default slapd starts 16 threads, but only half of those are allowed to
