Dovecot+Samba AD - authentication failure

Hi,

I have setup samba4 as AD and hoping to have dovecot authenticate users
against it. I am facing challenges though and I am unable to figure it out.
I could do with a third eye to help me spot what is wrong.


root at adc0:/etc# doveadm auth test -x service=imap odhiambo at newideatest.local
Password:
passdb: odhiambo at newideatest.local auth failed
extra fields:
  temp
Warning: auth-client: conn unix:/var/run/dovecot/auth-client: Auth
connection closed with 1 pending requests (max 0 secs, pid=10537, EOF)
Fatal: Couldn't connect to auth socket

A test against IMAP gives the following debug information:

Here is my doveconf -n:

My dovecot-ldap.cont.ext:

dnpass       = "XXXXXXXX"
sasl_bind    = no

ldap_version = 3
deref        = never
scope        = subtree
base         = cn=Users,dc=NEWIDEATEST,dc=LOCAL
auth_bind    = yes
user_filter  =

user_attrs   =

pass_attrs   = sAMAccountName=user,userPassword=password

The use exists in the database:
