Re: [Dovecot] userdb/autdb via ldaps

Hello,

I'm using a OpenLDAP server to store mail users infos like maildir location and password. This server is running on a separate machine and I'd like to protect the connection to it by using SSL/TLS.

The server is configured so that it offers ldaps and it works with other clients.

But I haven't found how to configure dovecot to use ldaps. Would someone please direct me to the right place or directly help how to?

You just set it up as if you were using normal ldap (the config file is well documented), and use

uris=ldaps://buick.jordet.net/

instead of host, etc. Works great for me :)
