LDAP and dovecot

[dovecot at outputservices.com]

I was able to decipher the error after looking at some other web pages.

I found I have to compile using the openldap libraries instead of the default Solaris ldap libraries.

I compiled using the following:

> LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openldap/lib -R/usr/local/openldap/lib' \
> ./configure --prefix=/tmp/tocevod --with-ssl=openssl --with-solr --with-zlib --with-bzlib --with-ldap=yes

ldd on the ....libexec/dovecot/auth files shows the proper openldap libraries.

I am not able to authenticate to my ldap server.

Thank you all.
