Hi,

I've been using courier with ldap and I'm trying to configure dovecot to do the same. I'm not exactly sure how to setup the ldap binds and filters...

Here's my dovecot info:

# 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_debug: yes auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf plugin: quota: maildir

$ sudo grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf uris = ldap://ldap dn = cn=admin, dc=americasnet, dc=com dnpass = xxxxx auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=%d,dc=americasnet,dc=com ldap_version = 3 base = uid=%u,ou=%d,dc=americasnet,dc=com user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u,ou=%d))

So I try to login with an LDAP user, say ricardo@domain.com. This is how it exists in the database. It's accessed as: uid=ricardo@domain.com,ou=domain.com,dc=americasnet,dc=com

This is what I get in the error log:
