[Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''

[Hendy Irawan]

Dear Dovecot developers,

We have several context entries and want to authenticate a user against the
whole LDAP server.

However when setting "base = " Dovecot LDAP fails with following message:

Jul 29 10:50:59 nitik1 dovecot: auth: Error:
ldap(hendy at staging.member.berbatik.com,127.0.0.1):
ldap_search((virtualMail=hendy at staging.member.berbatik.com)) failed: Other
(e.g., implementation specific) error

This limits the search to only one base DN, e.g.

base = dc=staging,dc=berbatik,dc=com

The ldap client library is able to search entries using an empty base DN, so
it should be possible for Dovecot LDAP to do the same.

An even more elegant solution will be the ability to specify multiple base
DNs, but if Dovecot can search the "root DN" (empty string) it would be
great.

Thank you.

Hendy
