I did the ldapsearch you gave me, but after inputting my admin password it
gives me
*ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)*
I logged into the ldap server with my admin credentials (which worked fine)
and changed my password to '12345', Trying that, still *Invalid credentials*
.

Oh forgot:

ldapsearch -x  ..

Also try:

ldapsearch -x cn=admin


to get the full DN of the admin

1.) I tried that already. The error switches to syntax error then.
2.) Not really. An upper case letter and a number + various lowercase
letters. Not very exotic.

Is the pass_filter neccessary? I just wanted to make the installation as
basic as possible, to not get any unwanted errors.

Best,
David

 So, I set up the Server, installed and configured postfix, ldap and

dovecot
(in that order) and now simply try to log into the mail account with a
used
from the LDAP over telnet.

The test looks like this:

*|> telnet localhost 143*
*| a bunch of stuff ending with:*
*| OK [**] Dovecot ready.*
*|> a login username userpassword*
*| a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [host and date
here]*

In the logs it says

*|[date] mailserver dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn
cn=admin): Invalid credentials*

But I KNOW the admin password I entered into the dovecot-lda.conf.ext is
correct as I use it to log into the LDAP directory over jxplorer

I also know the password for the user i try to log in with is correct
as i
set it myself over and over just to be sure there are no typos.
I'm at a loss, I've been at this end for a few days now and can't find
good
tutorials online because its either always an old dovecot, postfix, ldap
or
debian version and somewhere in the middle it just stops because some
file
is completely missing. I get the impression I'm just not able-brained
for
linux useage.

Anyway, here are a few more informations about the system:

*Dovecot version 2.1.7*

Output of grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-ldap.conf.ext:
*hosts = localhost*
*dn = cn=admin*
*dnpass = [password]*


install the ldap-utils package - that one containing ldapsearch - and
execute:

ldapsearch -W -D cn=admin -b 'dc=[domainname],dc=de' \
'(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=<<uid>>))'

then enter your password.

1) I suppose, cn=admin is missing a domain name, e.g.
dc=[domainname],dc=de .

2) does your dnpass contain "funny" characters?

 *sasl_bind = no*
*tls = no*
*auth_bind = yes*
*ldap_version = 3*
*base = dc=[domainname],dc=de*
*user_attrs = uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid*
*user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))*
*pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password*


BTW: You do not habe no pass_filter or I deleted it last time.



Output of dovecot -n:

*disable_plaintest_auth = no*
*mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u*
*[namespace config here]*

*passdb {*
*args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext*

                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

filename mismatch

 *driver = ldap*

*}*
*plugin {*
*sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve*
*sieve_dir = ~/sieve*
*}*

*protocols = " imap pop3"*
*ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem*
*ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem*
*userdb {*
*args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext*
*driver =ldap*
*}*
*protocol pop3 {*
*pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh*
*pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv*

Any help would be greatly apprechiated.... I'm going crazy over here.

Thanks in advance,
David
