- Is it possible for dovecot to use the bind mecanism against ldap for authentification purpose. My main concern is to avoid the clear-text password in the dovecot-ldap.conf file. With courier-imap, the process simply bind to the ldap tree with the users's supplied login/password. No need for a special authentification purpose user.
Only with PAM + pam_ldap module currently.
I'm planning a migration to nss_ldap ... any reason why that wouldn't work?
Yes. nss_ldap is buggy:

Dovecot can catch those nowadays, but still probably not that good idea.
