Multiple Passdb's - Order

[Jean-Louis Dupond]

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
The error/warning log was indeed not included.

I looked it up now, and dovecot only printed the following error:
Aug  1 21:31:55 xcx dovecot: auth: Error: 
ldap(info at xxx.com,xxxxx,<c34kcZb/uwBbtKLu>): 
ldap_search(base=uid=info at xxx.com,ou=mail,dc=xxx,dc=com 
filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=info at dupie.be))) failed: No such 
object

This shouldn't really be a problem, because the user does indeed not 
exist in ldap, but only in the passwd-file.
The problem also exists with auth cache disabled.

And my doveconf (the passdb order is the working order here):
# 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.6
auth_cache_size = 2 M
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

   driver = ldap
}

   sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve
   sieve_dir = /var/vmail/%d/%n/sieve
}

     group = postfix
     mode = 0600
     user = postfix
   }
   user = vmail
}
