AD authentication with dovecot not working.
Hi All,
I am trying to setup AD auth with dovecot and have tried a lot of options but still no success.
I am using a bind account for AD authentication and the users are not posix accounts. I am not using the ssl cert as its not available, so disabling it. I have used the similar settings with saslauthd+postfix and it worked, not sure what am I doing wrong with configurations..
My configuration is as follows:
# dovecot --version 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) # dovecot -n # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 5.14.0-474.el9.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Stream release 9 # Hostname: mail-centos.example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 1000 listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service pop3-login { process_limit = 500 } service submission-login { inet_listener submission { port = 587 } } ssl_cert =

Maybe easier to make these users linux users/posix accounts and then authenticate against linux. With nslcd and sssd you also have some caching you can benefit from. I am not even sure if this is related to dovecot or your postfix.

Just a quick look (probably not the only issue but a start)
- maybe a missing
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%u))
? See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/ldap_settings_au... and https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/ldap_settings_au...
- dn = <linebreak> comes from mail formatting? If not, strip it: dn = CN=[...]

I would check manual binding first with ldap-client:
warning: unknown[10.1.70.75]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server
This is not normal and need to be clarified. Maybe the client reject the local certificate or the AD server reject the source from some reason.
