Good evening, Currently, it’s using mySQL for the passdb and userdb. This works fine but when I switch to LDAP it starts having problems. I’m trying to set up dovecot to use LDAP as its userdb and passdb. I’ve read the docs but I think I may be missing something obvious or I didn’t understand something right. The clients can’t connect through IMAP using MD5-Challenge Response. They also don’t work with plain auth.. When I run the command doveadm auth user@domain.com , it works! When I run doveadm auth -x service=imap user@domain.com that also works! What am I doing wrong??? I get the following error: Error: Apr 29 02:04:02 servername dovecot: auth: Fatal: CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs

Here is my config:

2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

Thank you for any help or links to docs!
