Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get dovecot to authenticate against LDAP. And it's a first time to run both dovecot (at all) and OpenLDAP (at all). Versions are below.
Dovecot: 1.0.10 OpenLDAP 2.3.40
Dovecot cannot bind to the dn. This may be due to the fact that all google-able documentation doesn't give good examples or anyhting to hint. I'd prefer to use the rootdn by slapd.conf, but if I have to use a entry in the LDAP database, I will do that.
I've tried the rootdn, password, overriding password with the same hash as in the slapd.conf via {SSHA} and nothing works. I then tried to create a uid (and dn) within the LDAP database, and it can't bind to that either.
Long story short,
I would very much appreciate a working example with OpenLDAP v2.3x and Dovecot 1.0x, on a FreeBSD 6.x host. If it makes any difference (I don't think it does), the mailserver is going to be located within a jail, which has given some problems to some software that are looking for a specific /dev entry or being able to customize that entry (permissions, links, etc).
Thank you all for excellent software, and I really hope I can get this working. I'd like to point the finger at dovecot not being able to read userPassword but since no debugging information can be extracted, I have to assume.
A working example as I have asked for above would probably help me alot.
thanks!
