Hi

First of all thank you for helping me to fix the problem. I am trying out ldap to get used to it. As I wrote I have a mysql setup up and running.

Here's the output of doveconf -n:

# 2.1.9: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab099.3 x86_64 Ubuntu 11.04 vzfs auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no hostname = smtp.example.com mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace { inbox = yes location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /scripts/ldap/mail/auth.ldap driver = ldap } plugin { recipient_delimiter = + sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /vmail/%d/%n sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } postmaster_address = root@example.com protocols = imap sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert =

And here is also my auth ldap file:

uris = ldap://smtp.example.com dn = cn=admin, dc=example, dc=com dnpass = secret tls = no base = ou=mailuser,dc=example,dc=com ldap_version = 3

user_attrs = home=/vmail/%d/%n,=uid=5000,=gid=5000 user_filter = (&(objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u))

pass_attrs = pfClearPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u))

default_pass_scheme = PLAIN

Again thank you very much for any help.

Mit freundlichem Gruß

Hi all

Dont use ldap, but, you should supply the output of dovecot -n it might help those familiar with ldap setups assist you

Does anybody know how to configure dovecot to get rid of this ?

I have one server up and running with postfix, dovecot and a mysql

backend.

The error above happens on another server with postfix, dovecot and a ldap backend.

should use mysql :)
