LDAP and dovecot

[Dave Ryan]

Thank you all for your assistance.

I was able to locate another web site that mentioned I needed to compile dovecot with my openldap libraries.

I then compiled dovecot in the following manner:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/openldap/include \
LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openldap/lib -R/usr/local/openldap/lib' \
 ./configure --prefix=/tmp/tocevod --with-ssl=openssl --with-solr --with-zlib --with-bzlib --with-ldap=yes

This then included the openldap libraries. I tested access and now it works.

ldd on /dovecot/libexec/dovecot/auth showed the openldap libraries.
