Hello,
We are performing a Domain migration and I was wondering if there was any way to get Dovecot to authenticate to more than 1 LDAP server? Currently dovecot is configure to query the "mail" attribute from Active Directory and when found it binds with the credentials the user provided.
This works fine, but when migrating user accounts, they get disabled in the source domain so that the user can no longer log on to it. But disabling the account in the source domain, causes the user to be unable to use his email account.
Is there any way to get dovecot to try a second LDAP server if the first one fails to authenticate..?
