Dear All Hello. I had been trying to set up a centralized authentication system in my box with the above softwares. Currently I am using LDAP backend to authenticate Samba, and both users and WorkStations can identify themselves and log in to the DOMAIN flawlessly. They can both log in through the LDAP authentication via Samba and access their respective shares. But I seem to be failing in trying to authenticate the Courier-IMAP via the LDAP. Samba is authenticating through OpenLDAP backend (with roaming profile, etc.). No problem at that end. But even though I am modifying the pop3, pop3.cnf and authldaprc.sh file, I don't seem to be able to connect to the server via Courier. supposing, one of my user user1@testdom.org is trying to authenticate. I am trying this through telnet localhost 110 command, and the session goes like FreeBSD# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. user user1@testdom.org +OK Password required. pass user1 -ERR Login failed. Since I am unable to find any log file (the file /var/log/slapd.log is not updated, even though I have local4.debug /var/log/slapd.log entry in my /etc/syslogd.conf file) -- I am quite uncertain as what to do next. Attempts to capture packets yielded the following result When logging in through SAMBA, I see a lot of packets being exchanged. But when I try to connect through POP-3, there is not a single packet being exchanged. Appearently the Courier POP is not trying to connect to the LDAP server for authentication ? ? ? Any suggestion on what to check next? Can someone please help? Pointers to documents (not the Postfix Courier LDAP one, please) that can help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
