"dovecot-auth: ldap(branch): No password in reply"
Is this Freebsd error , or active directory is not configured correctly or dovecot bug?
It means Dovecot's LDAP support is broken currently in 1.0-tests. I've forgotten my test LDAP server's admin password and couldn't figure out how to change it, so I'm waiting for someone else to fix this :) OpenLDAP is annoying.
But LDAP is increasingly used to provide a central password repository (for e-mail, Web interfaces, etc.). It is a mandatory requirement for servers that use authentication, such as Dovecot.
We find MySQL or pgsql a better central password repository. I wouldn't say SQL or LDAP was mandatory, passwd/shadow support maybe. Everything else can go through authentication wrappers for most things if a program doesn't support them, and since Dovecot is pre-alpha I think I does a bloody good job at authentication with so many systems and schemes.
