Hello,

I believe there is a bug in logic. The following code snippet from db_ldap_connect() function:

    if (conn->set.sasl_bind) {

#ifdef HAVE_LDAP_SASL struct db_ldap_sasl_bind_context context;

            memset(&context, 0, sizeof(context));
            context.authcid = conn->set.dn;
            context.passwd = conn->set.dnpass;
            context.realm = conn->set.sasl_realm;
            context.authzid = conn->set.sasl_authz_id;

            /* There doesn't seem to be a way to do SASL binding
               asynchronously.. */
            ret = ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s(conn->ld, NULL,
                                               conn->set.sasl_mech,
                                               NULL, NULL,

LDAP_SASL_QUIET, sasl_interact, &context); if (db_ldap_connect_finish(conn, ret) < 0) return -1; #else i_unreached(); /* already checked at init */ #endif conn->conn_state = LDAP_CONN_STATE_BOUND_DEFAULT; } else { if (db_ldap_bind(conn) < 0) return -1; }

has to be inside db_ldap_bind() function. Because db_ldap_bind() is used to return the connection to the initial state which is sasl bounded as required in config file.

I use LDAP for user and passwd databases as the following:

uris = ldapi:/// sasl_bind = yes sasl_mech = EXTERNAL auth_bind = yes

And I found that only first authentication after dovecot restart is successful, the others always fail with temp. The reason is that dovecot rebinds to anonymous bind after succesful auth bind instead of rebinding to external sasl bind.
