Hello everyone !

I'm trying to make a mail server with dovecot and postfix. Users will authenticate with Active Directory server.

I've got an problem with Dovecot. To make the mail server, I'm using IredMail, and I used this tutorial : http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php?title=Integration/Active.Directory.iR... here

Here's my dovecot-ldap.conf : hosts = dc.domain.lan:389 ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes dn = vmail@domain.lan dnpass = vmail_passwd base = ou=some_ou,dc=domain,dc=lan scope = subtree deref = never user_filter = (&(userPrincipalName=%u)(objectClass=person)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) pass_filter = (&(userPrincipalName=%u)(objectClass=person)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) user_attrs = =home=/home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir/,=mail=maildir:/home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir/ pass_attrs = userPassword=password default_pass_scheme = CRYPT

With this configuration file, it works. BUT : To allow Dovecot to find users in my AD database, I must specify an OU in "base". If I only set "dc=domain,dc=lan" the research doesn't work. It seems that Dovecot is not capable to make a research without an OU specified in base. Am I wrong ?

The root research works fine with postfix, samba+winbind, and I've an enterprise sized hardware firewall, and it works fine too.

I'll be surprised if you tell me that Dovecot can't make a research without OU... That's why I'm posting here..

I've already post about this problem on the Iredmail forum, http://www.iredmail.org/forum/post15184.html#p15184 here , but no solution were found. You're my last hope :)

Thanks a lot for replies

Nicolas
