I am having "Authentication failed" problem with dovecot-ldap. Before it, I had binding error and I fixed it. Now I am having authentication problem when I am trying to log dovecot (usign telnet localhost 110) using a user which is created in ldap server. I can provide any configuration file and I did this configurations according to this "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DovecotLDAP".

Now I am having an authentication error.

Thank you
