Unless you know what LDAP schemas your LDAP server uses and can govern use of these, you might as well throw in the towel. > Is there any way to disable this feature for courier-imap from > any of the config files in /etc/courier? None of my Red Hat-derived sites has any /etc/courier, so that is where this reflection, however regrettably, becomes valueless. > I would rather not hack the > source as we would like to stay as vanilla as possible in case of > future automatic updates. I wouldn't hack any code if I were you, simply comply with the instructions in INSTALL and other docs. Look, tens of (if not hundreds of) thousands of sites are running Courier IMAP, many of them (including mine) with LDAP as backend. No problems, no complaints. Everything works. Now you come along and it suddenly doesn't any more. One of the things I do have 100% access to are my LDAP (OpenLDAP 2.4.7/2.3.39) servers. I get along with them pretty well, build rpms for them, configure them and use them for all cross-platform, multi-service authentication on my Red Hat-derived sites. It's they that are the be-all and end all of all front line authentication and info on my sites, if Courier hadn't worked with them, I'd be using Cyrus or Dovecot. But I happen to hold a candle to Courier. > Your thoughts greatly appreciated. The above is to be interpreted as "thoughts".
