I'm having some difficulty getting Courier-IMAP to run with Qmail/LDAP. I am trying to authenticate to an LDAP directory, which authenticates passwords from a Kerberos V5 server. I have installed Courier-IMAP, and it is running, listening on port 143, etc, but when I try to log in via an IMAP client my logins fail. I tried running a telnet session to port 143 locally and using "a1 login username password", and the login failed. I can browse the LDAP tree with the courier uid I set up, and it reflects all the access I have given that uid. Qmail was authenticating fine to LDAP before I installed Courier, and I can still send mail from an IMAP client. The main sources of info I have are Dave Sill's Qmail handbook, this website: http://www.cerritoslug.org/tutorials/qmail-ldap/installing.html and the courier home page.
Can anyone direct me to a "known good" source of info? I've tried the man pages, and Google searches, and have come up with some info, but I can't verify that they are correct. As with the examples I mentioned, there are similarities, but differences, and none have worked for me. Also, is there any "quick test" that would shed more light on what is going wrong? I know this is a "newbie-ish" post, but I am in a tight situation with getting a mail system to work. I've gotten Sendmail/Cyrus-IMAP running, but from what I have read the Qmail/Courier-IMAP combo is superior software, and I'd like to give it a shot. Any help would be appreciated.
