Hi Jim,
I don't know why your setup is not working. I only can provide you some hints
from our working setup. We authenticate our users against a MS Active
Directory Server.
the uri in dovecot-ldap.conf is:
uris = ldaps://hostname
we also had to add in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/certfile.crt
TLS_REQCERT demand
hope this helps,
Martin
