Then, which is the correct configuration ? Are my config files ok ? Openldap stores passwords encrypted with sha algorithm
Sendmail could be the problem? Sendmail works with PAM authentication /etc/pam.d/smtp to work with LDAP too.
When I connect outlook with (Sendmail + Dovecot) password is requested, but for all attempts I get the following error in /var/log/maillog
Using TLS
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=
Without TLS
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=

Hello
I need to authenticate dovecot against openldap. OpenLdap's authentication method requires SHA. How must I set dovecot ? .. #mechanisms = plain SHA .. If I uncomment #mechanisms = plain SHA Dovecot doesn't start, the error: dovecot: auth(default): Unknown authentication mechanism 'SHA'
You're confusing the difference between authentication mechanism and password scheme. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication
You want to use SHA1 as password scheme but still PLAIN mechanism.
