Dovecot 1.0.10 - Authenticate against LDAP with multiple sub-trees

[Daniel Heitepriem]

Hi guys,

I'm using Dovecot 1.0.10 with LDAP authentication. Below is my 
dovecot-ldap.conf

{
hosts = *IP of LDAP server*
auth_bind = yes
auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=*something*,dc=com
ldap_version = 3
base = %u,ou=people,dc=*something*,dc=com
deref = never
scope = subtree
user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%u))
}

And the current structure:

Base
  |
  |-- people
        |
        |  *user entries*
        |


Now I want to update to a LDAP server with the following structure:

Base
  |
  |-- people
        |
        |-- staff
             |
             | *user entries*
             |-- other location
                     |
                     | *user entries*
                     |

How can I keep my "auth_bind_userdn" using this new structure? Hopefully 
somebody can help me :)

Regards,
Daniel
