Hi!

After upgrading from dovecot 0.9.14 to 1.0 crashes immediately after starting when using ldap as userdb and passdb. You can find more information here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=320388

I'm confused with two users: login_user and auth_user. Witch of them has to be in ldap?

If anyone here has a working dovecot+ldap configuration, could he show me his configuration?

I know there are some problems with dovecot-stable + LDAP but I haven't really figured out what exactly they are so I could fix them. Maybe try 1.0alpha release instead? It should have working LDAP.

I tried 1.0alpha and it works. Thanks!

But, if I use LDAP with TLS (hosts = localhost:636 in dovecot-ldap.conf) I get in mail.log:

auth(default): LDAP: Can't connect to server: localhost:636

With 0.9.14 it worked OK.

Regards

Vedran

I don't think it really worked with 0.99.14 either since there is no LDAP-TLS code in either version of Dovecot, and they both seem to have hardcoded LDAP port parameters to ldap_init(). Unless there is some internal magic in LDAP library that I don't know about..

You have several solutions. You can allow not setting the host parameter, so that the library will look at ldap.conf, and you can also allow an "uris" statement.

I have the attached patches in my local pkgsrc repository, which I forgot about otherwise I'd have sent them.
