[Dovecot] Using dovecot sasl for authenticating in openldap
Hi,
I am using dovecot imaps and exim, both authenticating using dovecot-sasl. To keep passwords in one place I would like to authenticate openldap users over dovecot-sasl.
So looking at this page: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/security.html I figure it could be done using Pass-Through authentication.
For this, I need to create /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf
And adding a few config paremeters. This is a example
mech_list: plain pwcheck_method: saslauthd saslauthd_path: /var/run/sasl2/mux
I understand the mech_list parameter, but I have no Idea what to put in for the rest. Any help?
Thanks! Nathan

Now you're talking about using Cyrus SASL, not Dovecot SASL. Dovecot doesn't use such a file.
Well, I have to admit, I do not know what I am saying.
I wanted to authenticate in openldap using dovecot-sasl. The only useable thing I could find was this document describing pass-through authentication. And it talked about the /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf. It belongs to cyrus sasl? Mmh ...
Does anyboday know if and how openldap authentication using dovecot is possible?
Thanks! Nathan
