Hello.

There are a couple of steps here.

1. Search your system for dovecot-ldap.conf. You are using an RPM, so its location will vary depending on the packager. Copy this file to /etc.

2. Edit /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf with the appropriate settings.

3. Edit /etv/dovecot.conf as follows. find the section that begins "auth default {" Comment out the "passdb pam {" section Uncomment the "passdb ldap {" section set the "args = "line to the path of dovecot-ldap.conf i.e. "args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf"

   Uncomment the "userdb ldap {" section set the "args =" line to the path of dovecot-ldap.conf i.e. "args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf"

Once you have it working, you can reduce the number of LDAP queries per login from 2 to 1 by using "userdb prefetch".

Can an OpenLdap Guru contact me off-list? I need some guidance on switching away from a BDB backend, and OpenLDAP stability in general.

Thanks and Good Luck,

Ejay Hire
