I've configured dovecot to authenticate against a Fedora Directory Server. The mail server on which dovecot is installed has the nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages installed, and /etc/dovecot.conf has the following two lines:
auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = pam ... Is it possible to access the user database through PAM (auth_userdb = pam)? Since I'm running the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules, it'd really be an LDAP query for users, and a query in /etc/passwd and /etc/group for dovecot (since it's a local user and group on the mail server).
If you are using nss_ldap and have edited /etc/nsswitch.conf accordingly, you should get it done with:
auth_userdb = passwd
It doesn't mean to use /etc/passwd, but the O.S. nss mechanism.
