I have my own custom schema for email that I have been using for
years with courier_imap and exim. I am experimenting with dovecot
and trying to set up my conf so that it logs in using the ldap
database.

In the dovecot-ldap.conf there is a section

Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for full list):

%u - username

%n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain

%d - domain part in user@domain, empty if user there's no domain

#user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))

In order to match my scheme I changed it to

user_filter = (&(objectClass=shireNetEmailaccount) (shireNetEmailAddress=%u))

should be

pass_filter

That solves that problem...
