[Dovecot] ldap: No password in reply

21 Sep 2005


      Greetings,
I'm trying to set up dovecot with ldap (and postfix) by following the
page on the wiki.
I configured everything, but something is wrong:
dovecot: Sep 21 12:03:59 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH   1  PLAIN
service=IMAP    secured lip=157.193.40.36       rip=157.193.44.68
dovecot: Sep 21 12:03:59 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT  1
