Hi,

I am using dovecot imaps and exim, both authenticating using dovecot-sasl. To keep passwords in one place I would like to authenticate openldap users over dovecot-sasl.

OK..

So looking at this page: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/security.html I figure it could be done using Pass-Through authentication.

For this, I need to create /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf

Now you're talking about using Cyrus SASL, not Dovecot SASL. Dovecot doesn't use such a file.
