Unfortunately the upgrade to v2.4.3 broke the ldap connection.
I have configured an ldap connection like this:
ldap_uris = ldaps://xxx.com
ldap_auth_dn = uid=xxx,ou=general accounts,dc=xxx,dc=com
ldap_auth_dn_password = xxx
ldap_base = dc=xxx,dc=com
passdb ldap {
ldap_bind = yes
[...]
}
v2.4.3 cannot connect and says:
auth: Error: ldap(ldaps://xxx.com636): Can't connect to server: ldaps://xxx.com
Ldap server logs:
ACCEPT from IP=[XXX]:45674 (IP=[::]:636)
TLS established tls_ssf=256 ssf=256 tls_proto=TLS1.3 tls_cipher=AES-256-GCM
closed (connection lost)
Downgrade to dovecot v2.4.2 makes it work again.
Was there any ldap change in v2.4.3 that required a config change?
Using ubuntu 24.04 with the dovecot ppa, now forced version 2.4.2 by using https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.4.2/ubuntu/noble
