Dovecot experts, Does Dovecot support ldaps:\\ connections in dovecot-ldap.conf for ldap connections? I can get regular ldap:\\connections to work, but not ldaps:\\ connections. I have even downloaded the latest beta version of dovecot and it still doesn't work. If its not supported, will it be in the near future?
Dovecot doesn't know anything about ldaps, and it doesn't need to know. It's entirely up to the LDAP library to support it. Anyway as far as I know ldaps connections should work with Dovecot and OpenLDAP, I've never tried to use them myself though.
Unfortunately OpenLDAP's error reporting is horrible. You'll have to recompile it with debugging enabled if you want to get anything else than "connection failed" out of it.
